WA2K Radio is now on the air, Part 3

Cassandra has a way of making any song she does her own.


Cassandra Wilson -- Tell Me You'll Wait For Me

Here's my man Lou with Dianne Reeves.


Lou Rawls & Dianne Reeves -- At Last

Ah, my dear friend, it is always good to have you
in our radio station.

Loved Cassandra doing Tell Me You'll Wait for Me
as well as Lou and Dianne doing At Last.

Three songs for the morning here.

First, a memory of Bill Caruth and Joel Lubliner.

Hope this works:

Now, a wonderful miracle that happened to me last night:

I awakened in the middle of the night and it was so dark
that I felt fear, and the this song popped into my head, and
all was cured.

This one went with When Sonny Gets Blue:

Strange, I keep getting the message:

An error occurred.

I liked all those songs, especially "When Sunny Gets Blue".


My friend Rick is a major Nikki Yanofsky fan.


Nikki Yanofsky -- I Got Rhythm

Thanks for your comment, dear friend.

Love Nikki doing I Got Rhythm.

I sang this one at a jam session, and some woman wanted me to
teach her how to phrase it. " I sang it as walk-ing along Broad way"

I used the original expression: What's the use of prohibition

UhOh! Letty's talking to herself again.

Didn't get much sleep last night, so I'm having Java. Let's listen
to two songs now.

Manhattan Transfer:

First Java Jive:

I met lots of boys in New York City.

I always enjoy Manhatten Transfer!


Chaka Khan -- All Of Me

You and I have a lot in common, dear friend.

All of Me by Chaka Khan was a great one, and the bass player
reminded me of my late husband.

Here's a group that he introduced me to.

and it is a blue world without him.

Guess I had better say good afternoon, dear friend, and I remember
having shown my students this cute one. I used many clips of ethnicity.

From Letty with love to the world

This was just on Jools Holland.

Me too, me too.

I was just listening to Nikki Yanofsky on a cover of Wavin' Flag. So good. The last time I saw her perform live, she was barely a teen. Whadda voice.

but really, I came by to drop an older piece by the lovely Shad

and Shad's new (?) 90's persona

Let's flash back to the 70's. FYI, even though this was credited to Ramsey Lewis, it was actually performed by Earth, Wind & Fire

Good morning to all from our radio station here in Florida.

Always good to see honu here.

Three songs to begin Wodin's day here.

alway good to have my friend from England with us as well as
our Canadian friends.

The pushman sent me searching:

Julian Miles "Jools" Holland, OBE, DL (born 24 January 1958) is an English pianist, bandleader, singer, composer and television presenter. He was an original member of the band Squeeze and his work has involved him with many artists including The Beatles, Sting, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, George Harrison, David Gilmour, Magazine and Bono.

Lots of variety and good listening!

Here's what I want: easy living.


Diane Schuur -- Easy Living

Sister Rosetta asks

Ah, it's great to have George and ehBeth as friends.

Love, Diane's Easy Living and Sister Rosetta. My older sister
loved her.

Two songs now.

First, another one by the king. (no, not Elvis, Ben)
