WA2K Radio is now on the air, Part 3

Ah, well, it looks as though I'm a trio again, but that no longer bothers me.

Saying good afternoon with two songs.

Today is Robert Kennedy's birthday, and since I
met his older brother, I will do a tribute to him:

From Letty with hope that her friends will be back tomorrrow

Good morning, WA2K!


Darlingside -- Whippoorwill

I remember Mack the Knife from many days gone by.

Here's another from that era.


Brenda Lee -- Kansas City

Ah, my long time friend George. Great to see you here again.

Glad you liked Mack the Knife.

That group doing Whippoorwills was great.

Ah, little miss dynamite. Love that song by her.

I sang that song Kansas City. Great one to remember.

Today is Voltaire's birthday and
this song was inspired by him.

Ah, George, I just chased you away. Hurry back dear friend.

Your Dinah reminded me of this one:

Still back in the day


Ritchie Valens -- Come On, Let's Go

RIP to the marvellous Sharon Jones


Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings "100 Days, 100 Nights"

Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings "Tell Me"

Well, dear Beth, it's Tuesday here.

Loved George's Richie doing Come On Let's Go as well as well as both of Sharon Jones' songs. <sniff>

Here's the only one I ever liked by Andy Williams:

Now, Thanksgiving:

Now, a funny kids' song.

Sharon Jones was high-voltage!

Not a big Andy Williams fan either, but I like "Somewhere My Love".


Donald Byrd -- Lover Come Back To Me

Didn't know Donald Byrd, dear friend, but I know that song.

I think my late husband may have met this lady, but not certain:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an4VtQ7wy3E

that drummer is awful.

What a surprise to find out that Billy Holiday did that on too.

I like how Anita O'Day handles that song.

Back to the Twenties . . .

The Revelers -- Lucky Day

I'm Lucky by The Revelers was a great golden oldie, dear friend.

Incidentally, Anita O Day was a drug addict.

Here's a luck edgar will know. (rap, rap, rap)

Saying good afternoon with that one.

What is happiness, you ask?


Abbey Lincoln -- Happiness Is Just a Thing Called Joe

Acadian (Marie-Jo) - Cajun (Zachary) duet


Marie-Jo Thério & Zachary Richard -- Emmène-moi en Louisiane

Believe me or not
Somewhere in Alaska
There's a seal who's feeling glum
His love has left
To make her living
In a circus in the United States
When the seal is alone
He looks at the sunlight
Falling softly on the ice
He thinks of the States
Crying softly
That's how it is when your love has left you
It's not worth it, to leave those you love
To go and bounce a ball on your nose
It makes children laugh, but that doesn't last long
No one will laugh when the children have grown.
When the seal feels down
He looks at his fur that shines
Like the streets of New York after the rain
He dreams of Chicago
And of Marilyn Monroe
He wants to see his love do her show
It's only a story
Don't think me conceited
But sometimes I get the feeling it's me
Who is there, sitting on the ice
My face in my hands
My love is gone, and I'm sad
It's not worth it, to leave those you love
To go and bounce a ball on your nose
It makes children laugh, but that doesn't last long
No one will laugh when the children have grown.


Félix Leclerc -- La Complainte Du Phoque En Alaska

Ah, my long time friend, I love that duo by those two, and Happiness is Just a Thing called Jo, reminded me of my late friends Garland and Mary Jo Bruce (gone too soon).

That French Seal was fantastic as well as your Cajun duo. (bet ehBeth will know that one.)

Hope I did not miss any of your contributions as I have been having some problems here.

Three songs for the morning here in our Florida studio:

First, Nancy Wilson:

Now, Harry:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5611V_V_2mE

Now, a sad song called November Rain.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SbUC-UaAxE

Here is the meaning behind that song:

The lyrics and the video are based on a short story by Del James called Without You. The story is part of a collection called The Language Of Fear, which was brought back to market in 2008 after being out of print. The new version of the book contains an intro by Axl Rose, who wrote: "Del James has a personal knowledge of most of the situations he writes about, and has a love of the gutter from having been there." James contributed lyrics to two Guns N' Roses songs: "The Garden" and "Yesterdays," and has directed several music videos.

Sad songs but good ones.


Some bluesy guitar
