WA2K Radio is now on the air, Part 3

@edgarblythe,

Mark, I really enjoyed Johnny Rivers' Stories to a Child. Didn't know him so once again, thanks for the introduction.

Here's another by Paul Robeson, but I prefer "dark and lite folks"

Mark, Love that one by Tom T. Hall. Thanks for the memory, my friend.

My older sister and I used to sing these two songs together and they fit perfectly.

First, Bessie Smith:

@edgarblythe,

Love the Kingston Trio, Mark. The Everglades reminded me of :

See ya later alligator; After While crocodile.

The last concert that went to here was Jethro Tull, so here he is with a funny song.

@edgarblythe,

Ah, Mark, dear Buddy Holly. I think The Beatles got their name from his crickets.

Thanks for your comments and personal acknowledgement, dear friend.

How about a bit of classical for the afternoon:

Bill Haley and the Comets did See Ya Later, edgar.

We did this one for a former minister at The Presbyterian Church and also a pun. He loved it.

and the pun was:

Gladly the cross eyed bear.

I didn't know that song was from Annie Get Your Gun, letty.

Loved I'll sail my ship along by Jerry, edgar/mark.

Going to say good after noon with two songs.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was born in February, so here is a poem set to music by him:

Considering this is Punch, I very much doubt the following was written by the laureate. Actually it's a parody of a poem written by said laureate Lord Tennyson.

Quote:

A PINT IN PORT
(One of the pint pots lately used at the defunct "Cock" Tavern has been sent to the Laureate as a memento of the old Hostelry he has immortalised.)

"ONE fix'd for ever at the door" -
Nay, Time all links doth sever,
Nor e'en the Cock "WILL" sang of yore
Could keep his perch "for ever."
If, like the Phoenix, Fleet Street's bird
Anon were resurrected,
Why then - but there, the thing's absurd,
And not to be expected!

Yet may it have a life as long
As the strange fowl of fable;
A fame enshrined in deathless song
Is something sound and stable.
This Cock, though driven from its post
Above the Tavern's portal,
Shrined in the Laureate's lines may boast
A destiny immortal.

No more "libations to the Muse,"
The plump-cropp'd fowl may witness;
But die 'twill not, and who'll refuse
To see poetic fitness
In mellow-voiced "WILL WATERPROOF,"
Taking, as to a haven,
Beneath his lordly later roof,
That, "pint-pot neatly graven?"

Tennyson's original is very long. Here's a link.

good chilly morning for our radio station here in Florida.

Latin George, I'm a bit surprised that you didn't like Al Jolson doing Nothing Could Be Finer than to be in Carolina in the morning.

Izz with a y, My favorite by Tennyson is Crossing the Bar.

Where is John of Virginia? We all know that he is the real Jon Boy.

First, the theme from this lady's creation:

Now, inspired by my dear friend Brucie. (RIP)

edgar, I like MacArthur Park, buddy.

Tennyson always me of the part in Rising Damp where Rigsby asks Phillip for advice on wooing Miss Jones, Phillip suggests poetry, so Rigsby recites The Charge Of The Light Brigade.

If you don't know what Rising Damp is, here's a taste.
