WA2K Radio is now on the air, Part 3

Once again, calling all my friends.

Ah, I only had one trick or treater last evening and he was a delightful young boy.

Today is this country guys birthday:

Remembering my Mamma now. My older sister told me that my Daddy was glad to have a girl.

Gentleman Jim:

Mamma loved that song.

Oops, I should have been more specific. I didn't think that my Mamma and Daddy wanted me. She suffered from postpartum depression, so it was a delight to find out that Daddy wanted a girl and that was me.

Thinking of my son today in happier times. When he was just a baby, he had a little sprig of on the back of his head, and we called him rooster tail.

Then as he grew a wee bit older, he sang this one:

Three whole night I've lain awake,
For my little roosters sake,
Came the dawn,
He was gone,
And I thought my heart would break,
He had feathers blue and bright,
And he crowed with all his might.
Send him here, I'll not fear,
Send me back my rooster dear.

Here is that rooster:

Now, a tribute to Sean Connery, my favorite James Bond:

Saying good afternoon now with two songs.

First the song that I heard by Gentleman Jim as I was going to Tennessee to be with my son who was in physical rehab.

Now, Dolly Parton:

Hope my long time friends will be back with us tomorrow.

Monday mornings bring nothing but blurried eyes and grief. Damn you Mondays. You win this round.

Ah me, I lost my first response to you my long time friend. I always learn from you and you sent me searching:

Basia Bulat /ˈbɒʃə buːˈlɒt/, is a Canadian folk singer-songwriter. She is known for performing with an autoharp.

Loved her doing Gold Rush.

I know what you mean about Mondays.

Two birthday men now. First, Daniel Boone:

Now, Burt:

Two songs now, y'all.

First a birthday man:

and one to match Daniel Boone

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dUhtDhRO68

as edgar knows, I never cared for him until I heard him sing that one.

More history mysteries. We'll never know who she was and although Mrs. Anderson of Charlottesville, Va. claims to be her it can't be proved.

ah, my long time friend, I didn't know that lady but Marianne Faithful doing Broken English was fantastic.

Here's a golden oldie to match:

Boy were they whistling out of tune.

Back later, dear friends.

Saying good afternoon now with two songs.

First (the boss) Bruce:

Now, a funny one by Pete:

Great having my long time friend tsar with us.

Perhaps tomorrow more of my friends.

Empire State Building Steely Dan Light Show" on YouTube
https://youtu.be/kfyPB1XnWLQ

good morning from our radio station here in Florida.

Folks, I can't tell you how great it is to have a friend like tsar. Love Steely Dan doing that Empire State Building Light Show.

A golden oldie now. His name is really Francis.

Now, Remembering Without a Trace: <sniff>

Adam Ant? Love it:

and, y'all, our poem for today:

"November comes
And November goes,
With the last red berries
And the first white snows.

With night coming early,
And dawn coming late,
And ice in the bucket
And frost by the gate.

The fires burn
And the kettles sing,
And earth sinks to rest
Until next spring."
- Elizabeth Coatsworth

Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a
damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily
pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral
I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me,
that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from
deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's
hats off- then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.

Melville's Ishmael sees November as a metaphor for gloom.

Welcome back, Latin George. I know Melville, but not that quote.

Here's a funny version.

UhOh! I chased Sir George off. So sorry, dear friend.

Perhaps this gal's birthday will get him to return:

Not Saint George, but Sidney:

For all of our Irish friends:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFz_ozWHKo0

For our Indian friends:

Ah, I love learning from my long time friend, tsar.

There are East Indian folks all over the place down here

Shankar's Trances of You by Norah Jones was fantastic, dear friend.

Another legend, y'all. Hope Latin George hurries back.
