WA2K Radio is now on the air, Part 3

Just hanging out on a rainy Sunday, listening to what Letty and edgarblythe
are playing. Here's one from me.


Big Walter Price -- Get to Gittin'

Latin George, Get to Gittin' was funny and enjoyable. Glad you like what we play here, dear friend.

How about a little blue grass country now. Here's Allison:

Another country number . . .



Norman Blake -- Arkansas Traveler

Loved Arkansas Traveler by Norman, and it reminded me of this one that I sang so long ago. I was wearing a black net type dress with imbedded silver chips:

The column of air here is terrible, y'all, so I'm saying good afternoon with two songs.

Lead Kindly Light, and here is some info on this hymn:


Lead, Kindly Light is a hymn with words written in 1833 by John Henry Newman as a poem titled "the Pillar of Cloud". In some hymnals, one may find a fourth verse added by Edward H Bickersteth Jr, Bishop of Exeter.

Now, Ave Maria. (edgar likes this one)

Great having England with us. Perhaps more countries tomorrow.

From Letty with love to the world

I consider Ave Maria as perfect a song as any written.

Here are two versions of a song, both by the same artist. One nicely sung, the other for laughs.

Steve Lawrence and Suzanne Sommers

Here is Steve

This song was written by Norman Newell. I highly recommend this Wiki article about him

Good evening, WA2K and welcome to the Graveyard Shift.
You know what we need? I'll tell you what we need. POLKA!

How can you not love a guy named Whoopie John Wilfahrt?


Whoopee John Wilfahrt -- Minneapolis Polka

Push back the furniture and roll up the rug, it's time for everybody's
favorite. And a one and a two . . .



Frankie Yankovic -- Beer Barrel Polka

Found this while tidying up the garage - here: let's have a listen

More Jubilee stuff, this time a satire on past ones.

Well, y'all, it's a sunny Monday here.

edgar, Thanks for your comment and I love both of those versions of The Drummer and the Cook by Harry.

Latin George, you are the only George here now. So glad you are, dear friend. My favorite by you was The Beer Barrel Polka.

edgar, What a fantastic picture of Steve and Suzamme. Wish I could do photos.
Love Portrait of My Love by Steve. (especially with the long A )

Neko, Welcome back and as you know, I love The Monkees.

Hurry back Izz with a y. Loved your satire on King Edward III.

Sorry if I misse anyone here but as I noted last evening, that column of air still exists.

Two songs now. As edgar knows I love Hoagy

Once again calling everyone, so y'all come.

and, y'all, two birthday guys. first some info:

Slim Pickens (I) (1919–1983)
Actor | Soundtrack | Writer
Slim Pickens spent the early part of his career as a real cowboy and the latter part playing cowboys, and he is best remembered for a single "cowboy" image: that of bomber pilot Maj. "King" Kong waving his cowboy hat rodeo-style as he rides a nuclear bomb onto its target in the great black comedy Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and love the bomb.

twinkle, twinkle little starhttps:
We all wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky.

Now, a singing diamond:

anyone remember Brenda Lee? Just in case, here is some info on her:


Brenda Mae Tarpley, known as Brenda Lee, is an American performer and the top-charting female vocalist of the 1960s.

Here she is with Rex in the mountains:

edgar/Mark know her.

I had a mad crush on her in eighth grade.

Latin George, didn't you at one time that you were going to move to Carolina?

Here's dear Al singing about it. I was first introduced to him when my older sister took me to Larry Parks' Jolson sings again. Another black lister by Eugene McCarthy. grrrrrr.

I once said that I had read all of Rudyard Kiplings' Jungle books.

Two songs now:

First Al:
