WA2K Radio is now on the air, Part 3

Once again Calling.

Our poem for today:


Emily Dickinson, 1830 - 1886

I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there’s a pair of us!
Don’t tell! they’d advertise – you know!

How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog

To tell one’s name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!


Never saw David Niven in Around the World, but I love the theme song.

Ah, in my mind's eye I can see my friend Bob standing on stage and saying:

We are NOT a bird band.

Dear Michael. <sniff>

Around the World was an overblown mess, hyped until people felt they had to see it. I have tried to watch at least four times, but it's not worth it. The theme song, however, is great.

Too much Heaven

I agree, Mark. Often, the themes of movies are better than the movie itself.

I love The Bee Gees, dear friend. The guy in the middle has a fantastic range. Too Much Heaven was excellent.

Here's another trio, and he strums the sound board of a grand piano:

ah, It's looks as though we're segregated again. Miss other countries here.

Guess I had better say good afternoon with two songs.

First, Perry doing a cover of Johnny Mercer:

Now, The man with the golden voice reminding us of love:

Matching Matt's Love with Nat's Love

We were contemporaries. They were in Miami Beach High when I was in the same grade in Miami. We always kind of identified with them, and it was a first rate song.

Paul, of this duo, was in boot camp when I was. He recorded this song, but joined up, not expecting it to be a hit. So I was told. I didn't see him there.

It takes Little Richard a minute to get started, but it's well worth it

Mr Apollo truly is the greatest benefactor of mankind.

Good morning from a hot and sunny day here in Our Florida radio station.

Welcome back Roger my long time friend, and thanks for that info on the song.

Welcome back to you as well pullman. Did not

First, more Tender.

Now, a birthday man. (someone used to imitate him on one of the old forums)

I like him better as Conan:

Incidentally, y'all, the birthday guy was
Arnold Swarchenegger

Here's another golden oldie. Didn't much like this guy, but I discovered he had multiple surgeries on his face:

Once again, calling all.

Inspired by my friend Roger, my late husband and I camped on the white sands of Miami Beach. Frankly, I didn't like it as all it was, was a beach and crowded. The ocean wasn't as good as it is here.

First, our poem for today:

By John Milton
When I consider how my light is spent,
Ere half my days, in this dark world and wide,
And that one Talent which is death to hide
Lodged with me useless, though my Soul more bent
To serve therewith my Maker, and present
My true account, lest he returning chide;
“Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?”
I fondly ask. But patience, to prevent
That murmur, soon replies, “God doth not need
Either man’s work or his own gifts; who best
Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state
Is Kingly. Thousands at his bidding speed
And post o’er Land and Ocean without rest:
They also serve who only stand and wait.”

Now, a rhumba:

It was a dark and stormy night. Suddenly a shot rang out as a ship's sail appeared on the horizon.

Was that song by Judy from The Three Penny Opera, Mark? I know her best for doing Both Sides Now.

Here's Bobby with one from that Opera:

Well, y'all, while we await our creator's response, today is Paul Anka's birthday and once again it reminded me of Stan Freeberg.

Here he is doing a parody on Elvis. I did NOT like that one by him.

Well, it looks as though I've lost all my friends again.

Still hear from Roger, Ursula, and Phoenix, however.

Here is Judy Collins again:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7Xm30heHms

and since she also sang Send in the Clowns, it reminds me of Caruso first introduced to me by my older sister: Mario Lanza did him too, but I like the original.

I still look back at happier times. I I look at Bud playing his bass and looking at all the photos from the Cocoa gathering.

Saying good afternoon now with two songs:

First, Lady Day, and we'll dedicate this one to Robert Gentle wherever he is.

George ob 1 is the only one that I see, but I remember Geroge W. Light Wizard saying that WA2K radio was a stroke of genius.

Hope Latin George is alright.

Lady Day:
