WA2K Radio is now on the air, Part 3

Hard to believe that Dean Martin is gone and Jerry Lee is still with us. Today is his birthday:

Well, we've had our poem for today by Robert Frost.

Once again, calling all musicians, music lovers, poets and painters.

JLNobody is my favorite painter and violinist.

Well, edgar/Mark tried to help me with doing pictures, but it didn't work. He is so clever.

Another inspiration: The Kingston Trio. They were born in the U.S. but later moved to Australia.

Well, y'all, it looks as though there's another trio:

Me, myself, and I. That use to bothr me but it no longer does.

Here's Willie talking about "how times slips away"

No, not daylight savings time.

and, during the Hippie days:

I used to be a hippie, but NO activist.

Thanks, Letty.


I needed a little dose of Willie today.

Listened to "You are always on my mind" also.

What a voice!

Wow! Welcome back, dear friend. As I have often observed, music is soooo healing. Yep, Willie is like good medicine.

They played this one on Cold Case last evening, and I sang it in the fifth grade:

Here is a song we sang in grade school where I attended

Mark, I know that one, just didn't know who sang it. Tried to find one to match by Joan Baez, but it kept freezing.

(my Mamma played banjo)

Going to say good afternoon with two songs.

First, Joan.

Now for my friend JLNobody. (I think he played this one on his violin)"the dove is a bird of peace"

Good to know that McTag is alright.

Wonderful have England with us today.

From Letty with love to the world

Another dove song

The Dove
Judy Collins

Some beginnings of green politics here.

Good morning from a rather nippy radio station in Florida. edgar/Mark as you know I love Judy Collins. That song was great and you hurry back, dear friend.

Hurry back, pullman, that synopsis of yours said volumes. As you know, I
love brevity. I'm not familiar with pea soups and its harmful condition, so thanks again for the introduction.

Three songs for the morning. First, a birthday guy:

What a surprise to find out that he is from Dublin.
Hope euroGeorge is with us today.

Now, a fantastic version of Sunrise Serenade:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQHy5-wrfWw

and, inspired by our Englishman's doctor:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FA1KsuQikHk

Letty, I doubt anyone will listen to this through...or that it even is allowed here...

...but since it is the most beautiful piece of music ever written, just thought I'd give it a shot. (Annoying 14 second ad to be endured.)

I love Strauss' Blue Danube Waltz, my friend.

These may be a bit hard to read, but here is the song with English lyrics.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6JZK0FTUG0

Another classical composer gone too soon.

Schumann suffered from a lifelong mental disorder, first manifesting itself in 1833 as a severe melancholic depressive episode, which recurred several times alternating with phases of ‘exaltation’ and increasingly also delusional ideas of being poisoned or threatened with metallic items. After a suicide attempt in 1854, Schumann was admitted to a mental asylum, at his own request, in Endenich near Bonn. Diagnosed with "psychotic melancholia", Schumann died two years later in 1856 without having recovered from his mental illness.

Only thing about Blue Danube Waltz, I always think of a certain movie when it's on.

Another one of these "chill out" European female voices... Oh Land is from Denmark.

I wasn't a synopsis. It was the whole article. I'll post the page tomorrow. I'm listening to this right now, prompted by a spat with Maxdonica

This one ain't bad either. Love the vid.

Oh Land - White Nights

Let me push this classical bit just a tiny bit further…especially for people who dislike or hate opera.

This link is to Pavarotti singing, A te, o cara from Bellini’s I Puritani.

Pavarotti, known as the King of the high C’s…hits the high C sharp (half note higher than the C) in the second chorus (@ about 2:49) and sustains it full voice for what seems like eternity. Very, very tough for a tenor to do.

Beautiful aria…and his handling is wonderful.

Especially if you dislike opera…just give this a try up to right after the high C sharp. I think you will enjoy it.

edgar, when you get the chance, tell us the name of the movie

Olivier5, Mon Ami. I didn't know either of those songs, so thanks again for the introcudtion.

Pullman, I just looked at the one in the middle and thought it was a synopsis.

Loved Stereo Mcs, didn't know that one either. Love to learn on our radio.

Frank, I love Pavarotti, dear friend.

"...and this mystery explore..." No, not The Raven, but Van the Man:
