WA2K Radio is now on the air, Part 3

Once again, looking back at happier times. I sang this one to my son when he was in the hospital, and he grinned from ear to ear:

Calling all musicians, music lovers, poets, and painters.

Our poem for today:

and a beautiful bird song by "a diamond"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k028-NETGOQ

Well, y'all, this isn't the Grimm of the fairy tales, but it's a great song, so let's listen:

Ah, I miss my German friends with whom we camped

Ah, well, it's just me again, but it doesn't matter like it used to.

Inspired by Bert Lee's lovely bride Josie, here's George Clooney whose aunt was Rosemary:

I recently listened to her doing Mambo Italiano and she was fantastic.

Good afternoon, letty. That's areal variety of music you've played. I knew Billy Zane's name, but never put it and the face together before.

Lullaby of Spring

Welcome back, edgar/Mark. Love Donovan doing Lullaby of Spring in a minor key.

Billy made me think of The Zane Grey theater on TV.

Another lullaby by a guy that I didn't used to car for, and what a surpriset to find this info on him:

Anthony Dominick Benedetto
August 3, 1926 (age 88)
Astoria, Queens, New York, U.S.

Going to say good afternoon now, but first some info:


Zane Grey Theater (1956–1961)
TV Series - 25 min - Western


Stars:
Dick Powell, Walter Sande, Denver Pyle

Now, I thinking of The Snows of Kilamanjaro with Gregory Peck, but found this beautiful chill out song.

From Letty with love to the world.

I've always loved Tony Bennett. Certain songs just would not be as good by anyone else.

There was an extended period in his career when he made some records I didn't like. But the good makes up for the poor.

A new version of Bruce Springsteen's "I'm On Fire" is a clever choice for the soundtrack of the movie Fifty Shades of Grey.

In the mood for Alison

Alison Krauss & Union Station -- Baby, Now That I've Found You

On a similar theme


Taj Mahal -- Never Let You Go

Not got a lot of time to post dad's Punch update. The text makes lots of transmission errors so here's a page in its entirety.

Good morning from our radio station here in Florida

Gurda, Loved that Fifty Shade of Grey, my friend.

edgar, Loved Tony and Al, my friend.

Latin George, Loved Now That I've Found you as it was especially nice.

S.K. Always good to see you here, and I just found out that my
older sister used to get Punch Magazines. You sent me searching, lady:

Punch, or The London Charivari was a British weekly magazine of humour and satire established in 1841 by Henry Mayhew and engraver Ebenezer Landells. Historically, it was most influential in the 1840s and 50s, when it helped to coin the term "cartoon" in its modern sense as a humorous illustration. It became a British institution, but after the 1940s, when its circulation peaked, it went into a long decline, closing in 1992. It was revived in 1996, but closed again in 2002.

Going to begin our day here with dear George Harrison(today is his birthday). He was my favorite of those four: (only two left now)

Hope I didn't miss anyone last evening. If I did, it's because an Owl awakened me.

I like all members of the Fab Four. As many great songs as each one did, it would be hard to dislike any one of them.

The Rascals

Well, Mark, I did enjoy John Lennon doing Imagine.

You sent me searching again. Love to learn here.

The Rascals (initially known as The Young Rascals) are an American blue-eyed soul group initially active during the years 1965–72. Between 1966 and 1968 the New Jersey act reached the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 with nine singles, including the #1s "Good Lovin'" (1966), "Groovin'" (1967), and "People Got to Be Free" (1968), as well as big radio hits such as the much-covered "How Can I Be Sure?" (#4 1967) and "A Beautiful Morning" (#3 1968), plus another critical favorite "A Girl Like You" (#10 1967). The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997

Great group, buddy.

Finally, we know that the trash of Hugh Laurie being dead has been revealed.

Here's a tribute to him:

Welcome back, my long time friend, and you sent me searching:

Rickie Lee Jones is an American vocalist, musician, songwriter and producer. Over the course of a career of over three decades, Jones has recorded in various musical styles including rock, R&B, blues, pop, soul, and jazz standards.

That gal has quite a range.

Two songs for the afternoon here.

First, another Ricky Lee:

Now, the one that I like by John Lennon:

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

Rickie Lee seems to get overlooked a lot, but she's a good artist.

Here is another great John Lennon song.

Beautiful Boy is a great one by John. Didn't know it, so thanks again for the introduction, Mark.

Thinking of Robert Gentle today so here is one by "Lady Day".

I till have a few of Billie Holiday's records.
