WA2K Radio is now on the air, Part 3

Mark, I loved Vern doing If You're Gonna Do Me Wrong, Do it right. What a great title for a song.

Let's dedicate this one to all parents everywhere:

another creature, y'all. One flew into our house the other day.

and, it reminded me of this bridge:

,The Silver Bridge was an eyebar-chain suspension bridge built in 1928 and named for the color of its aluminum paint. The bridge connected Point Pleasant, West Virginia, and Gallipolis, Ohio, over the Ohio River. It crashed, killing lots of people.

Well, what do our listeners and contributors think?

More thunder boomers, y'all. Better say good afternoon now.

I'm sure my long time friend Roger won't mind if I dedicate this one to him:

Good evening, WA2K and welcome to the Graveyard Shift.


Tonight let's listen to some songs with a country feel to them.

This one is from The Honeycutters Me Oh My album.


The Honeycutters -- Hearts Of Men

Carolina Chocolate Drops -- Country Girl

Theodore Bikel has died at 91.

Up early this morning and I am glad that I am.

McTag, great to have you back with us and Bing doing that Irish song was great. My mom loved "the crooner"

Always good to see Latin George with us. My favorite by you was Country Girl.

edgar/Mark, Too bad about Bikel, and If I were a Rich Man from Fiddler on the Roof was fantastic.

Well, This must be Irish Day on WA2K:

Here's Celtic Woman.

and, y'all, GreenSleeves

My dad used to sing a parody of that song, which was current in Scottish circles in those days, and I always thought the original would have been by the famous Irish tenor, John McCormack.
I was surprised to learn that it was by Bing Crosby.
Good morning, all.

Loved that golden oldie by John, Where the Potatoes grow, McTag.

Here's surprise, y'all, many Scotch Irish folks emigrated to the Appalachian Mountains.

Now I know from where the expression :hill billy comes from.

I have the whole of Punch 1887 in one volume. It appears Project Gutenberg does not, so I'll transcribe stuff.



What I find interesting is the apostrophe before sale indicating something is missing. So we didn't always call sales just sales, there was something else that preceded it.

Welcome back Pushman. We always appreciate your info on Punch. Strange, I noticed your unusual use of apostrophe, and I guess we both know, that in literature, it means speaking to something that is there when it isn't, right?

Now, a tribute to a birthday guy, but first some info:

Robert Cabot "Bobby" Sherman, Jr. (born July 22, 1943), is an American singer, actor and occasional songwriter, who became a popular teen idol in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

He graduated in 1961 from Birmingham High School in Van Nuys, California. Sherman attended Pierce College in Woodland Hills, California.

Now, Sunshine Rose:

Good morning, letty and all you radiofolk. I going to try to play a song this morning. Letty's last song caused me to remember Neil's song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzebY1enRo4

Twinkle, twinkle little star we all wonder what you are
Up above the world so high like a diamond in the sky.

Here's another diamond to match your Cracklin' Rosy, Mr. creator:

That was for Caroline Kennedy, of course.

Odd, today is Danny Glover's birthday and it reminded me of a boy friend that I had in Virginia.

This is funny:

Here's my answer to your tribute, letty.

Love that theme, Mark, and here is another Rocky:

Truly concerned about my long time friend Roger who I met at the Cocoa gathering. <sniff>

I wouldn't be concerned about Roger. He was posting last night.

Thanks, Mark. Hope you liked Rocky Top.

Frankly, I don't much care for his work, but today is his birthday:
