WA2K Radio is now on the air, Part 3

"Round Midnight" is great bit of blues.


This is from "Shrek -- The Musical".


I Think I Got You Beat

I love that CS&N harmonizing.


Another great sound.


Earth, Wind and Fire -- Reasons

Ah, you're back Mac George.

Thanks again for your comment, dear friend.

I really enjoyed I Think I got You Beat and Earth, Wind, and Fire.
Somehow it reminded me of this golden oldie:

Ah, George, sometimes you remind me of ping pong. You're back then back again, etc.

Saying good afternoon with a lovely hymn:

From Letty with love to the world

That certainly was a lovely hymn.


Here's something from Fats.


Fats Domino -- So Long

And now . . .


The Pretenders -- Holy Commotion

One more for tonight


Kris Kristofferson -- Me And Bobby McGee

Okay, another one


Jim Corcoran -- Éloge Du Doute

Stop everything
I think I hear the President
The Pied Piper of the TV screen
Is gonna make it simple
And he's got it all mapped out
And illustrated with cartoons
Too hard for clever folks to understand
They're more used to words like:
Ideology
But they say it’s not the issue…
They're not talkin' 'bout right and left
They're talkin' 'bout

Right and wrong
Do you know the difference?
Right and wrong
Do you know the difference?
‘Tween the right and the left and the east and the west
What you know and the things that you'll never see…

So what ya think?
You like the Yankees or the Mets this year?
And what about this latest war of words?
And what about the Commies?
You know I saw the news last night
All illustrated with cartoons
So when they come with that opinion poll
They better not use words like
Ideology
Or try to tell me 'bout the issues
Ideology
Huh, whose side are you on?
Cause we're talkin' 'bout

Right and wrong
Do you know the difference?
Right and wrong
Do you know the difference?
'Tween the right and the left and the east and the west
What you know and the things that you'll never see…

Right and wrong
Do you know the difference?
Right and wrong
Do you know the difference?
Right and wrong, do you know the difference?
Right and wrong, do you know the difference?
'Tween the right and the left and the east and the west
What you know and the things that you'll never see…

Good one by "Piano Joe".


Songs from the last century


George Michael -- My Baby Just Cares For Me

Ah, dear friend, loved your Sunday songs, especially Fats, Pretenders and
Me and Bobby McGee. Thanks for your comment on the hymn.

Olivier5, great to see you back with us. I love those old vinyl songs, mon ami

My Baby Just Cares for Me is a great one.

Three birthday people for today:

First, poor Elizabeth Taylor:

Now, some info:

John Ernst Steinbeck, Jr. (February 27, 1902 – December 20, 1968) was an American author of 27 books, including 16 novels, six non-fiction books, and five collections of short stories. He is widely known for the comic novels Tortilla Flat (1935) and Cannery Row (1945), the multi-generation epic East of Eden (1952), and the novellas Of Mice and Men (1937) and The Red Pony (1937). The Pulitzer Prize-winning The Grapes of Wrath (1939)[2] is considered Steinbeck's masterpiece and part of the American literary canon.[3] In the first 75 years after it was published, it sold 14 million

I read every one of those books when I was at UVA.

Liz Taylor's career was just amazing.


George's (no, not me) mom


Rosemary Clooney -- Just One Of Those Things

Ah, dear friend, thanks again for your comment, and as you know,
I love Rosemary and George. Just one of those things
was great.

Here's a brief observation concerning Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath:

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

I'm not sure of this, but I think Herbert Hoover poured
all the money into railroad during that depression because
they were hiring the most people and my Dad was one
who kept his job.

I'm not much of an opera guy, but I enjoyed the tribute to Marian Anderson.


Here's an electronically-created duet, one of the few such I like.


Tony Bennett & Billie Holiday -- God Bless The Child

The Steinbeck tribute by Mumford & Sons was terrific.


Now I want to play some Ella.


Ella Fitzgerald -- Under The Spell Of The Blues

Thanks again for your comment, dear friend. Love Tony and Billie doing
Good Bless the Child.

Going to take a brief break now, because I didn't sleep too well
last night.

Here's Ella again:

back in a bit.

Always time to listen to Ella.


A 40s-50s style of blues


Frances Wayne -- Two for the Blues

I guarantee you'll like this one.


Alison Krauss -- I Never Cared For You

as you know, dear friend, I sang I'm beginning to see the light
when I was five years old.

Two for the Blues was great.

You just have me a hoot, I never cared for Alison either.

Saying good afternoon now with three songs.

I know you love classical music, right?

From Letty with love to the world

Glad to hear you got a laugh.
I enjoyed that violinist, the Monkees and the Ink Spots.


Now some New Orleans jazz
