WA2K Radio is now on the air, Part 3

Tracy needs a little positive feedback here.


Tracy Chapman -- Give Me One Reason

It's a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling, "No!"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen

But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on

[Chorus:]
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man!
Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns

But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on

[Chorus]

Good morning, George. Glad you are still my friend. Dear Paul Simon. <sniff> Love that song:
Down by the Schoolyard.

My back is a little better, and thanks for your concern.

Well, it's Friday, so how about some oldies.

First Cab Calloway:

" he left out: but Minnie had a heart as big as a whale"

Sorry that I missed my French friend and your poem.

Good to see you back with us Mon Ami.. Love David Bowie doing Life on
Mars. Bet you will know Victor Hugo, and I remember that I had
to learn how to pronounce Camille "san son".

now, two more:

First songs that can be sung together

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmRBWidCU00

Now Simon and Garfunkel. Poor Paul

Back later to check on my friend George's poem.

Hidey hidey hidey hi!
I love that song.


A melancholy one by the Beach Boys


The Beach Boys -- Caroline, No

Boy George is one of a kind.


As the afternoon goes on, my thoughts turn to drinks with umbrellas in them.


John Hiatt -- The Tiki Bar Is Open

I think that "The Sounds of Silence" is one of the best songs ever written.


Some "synthopop"


Soft Cell -- Tainted Love / Where Did Our Love Go

Ah, my dear friend George, Thanks for your comment, and I really enjoyed The
Beach Boys doing Caroline No as well as John Hiatt doing Tike Bar and Soft Cell's Where Did Our Love Go.

Going to say good afternoon with three songs.

First a birthday guy Leonard Whiting:

Now, a tribute to Lena Horne:

Now, remembering my late sister who taught me to do this one:

From Letty with love to everyone here.

I remember seeing Leonard Whiting in Romeo and Juliet.
I was really in Shakespeare back then and loved the film.


Another allusion (of sorts) to the Bard


The Lumineers -- Ophelia

Excellent duet with Lena Horne and Dean Martin!


Haven't played this in a while


Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen -- Hot Rod Lincoln

Linda Ronstadt and Bette Midler are wonderful together.


One more for the afternoon


Van Morrison -- Tupelo Honey

Good Saturday morning from here in our Florida radio station.

Thanks again for your comments, dear friend.

Loved Luminers doing Ophelia as well as Commander Cody and those lost
men doing Hot Rod Lincoln

As you know, I love Van the Man doing Tupelo Honey.

I had too much Java Jive yesterday and stayed up all night.<sigh>

Three birthday people for today:

Remembering Princess Diana. (Another history mystery)

I liked Blondie doing Hear of Glass however.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7okLulCN9M

Ah, my long time friend, hope you will keep us going. I talked to Mark's lovely Japanese American lady and she was so complimentary to me.

Well, I'm watching Storm Tracker and It makes me a bit apprehensive.

Here's another:

Hope the weather gets better.

From Letty with more hope

Ah, my long time friend, hope you don't mind me using your location to
announce and acknowledge Memorial Day and a Sunday song:

Happy Memorial Day, Geoorge.

From Letty with love and hope for tomorrow

That was an excellent tribute to Diana by Elton John.


Here's something for the fourth


Chicago -- Saturday In The Park

Olivia de Havilland was one of the great ones.


As was Benny Goodman


Benny Goodman Quartet -- Moonglow

Ah, dear friend, I was concerned about you.

Thanks for your comments, sorry that I can't acknowledge your contributions
but I'm a bit groggy today. Love Saturday in the Park and I think Benny doing
doing Moonglow, but I'm not certain.

Thinking of my long time friend Garland Bruce now he introduced
me to this guy:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ht238Q2LQ2A

I loved Paul Simon, Graham Nash and David Crosby doing "Here Comes the Sun".


More summertime stuff


Chuck Prophet -- Summertime Thing

Always good to hear Edmund Ros do "Mardi Gras".


Here's a woman who can belt it out


Melissa Etheridge -- I've Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now)
