WA2K Radio is now on the air, Part 3

Glad you're black, Mr. Creator. My computer chair acted up and I fell on the floor. So glad that my daughter is here and helped me get up.

I also have been checking on what my antiques are worth. Hope Latin George is alright. I played Build The More Stately Mansions from The Ship of Pearl and thought of him.

Had no idea that the sassy Miss Sarah did Make Yourself Comfortable. Great one.

Now here is a fantastic quartet:

Breathless

Fantastic quartet is right, Letty. Wow!

Thanks for asking after my health, letty.
I have bounced back pretty well and even plan to do the gym thing with my
man Rhys after supper.


Here's some jazz.


Ernestine Anderson -- Sunny

Sir Albert de Rutzen (1831-1913), was the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate at Bow Street.





He looks the life and soul of the party.

That mug would curdle milk.

Good morning from a very still radio station here in Florida:

edgar/Mark, Really liked that one by Jerry Lee and Latin George, Glad that you both liked that quartet.

Dear George. I always enjoy what you say and play. Your Sunny song by that lady was really good. Glad you are felling better, dear friend.

FPL cut off the electricity here in our radio station and I hated having to feel my way through it.

Mr Punch, I smiled at George's remark about your guy sitting at the table and looking rather bleak.

All of you hurry back.

Three songs for today. First, a tribute to dear Ricky Nelson. (another gone too soon)

Today is his birthday:

Now, remembering Little House on the Prairie. (miss you realjon boy. sniff)

Today is her birthday:

Now, to match Latin's George's smooth jazz, another Sunny. (rip Bill and Joel) That was the last one that I heard in which they both performed.

Morning, izzy george and letty and the rest - I got my computer to working better.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr6n0wcM5kM
A little something from 1932. I was minus ten when this was recorded.

Great, Mark, that your computer is working. Our listeners are always fascinated with what you play here. Loved It's Within Your Power by Dell.

Three songs for the afternoon here: First, a travel song by dear Ricky:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0janfcZ8LUw

Now, The singing ranger:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsgCzszkLS8

Now, another golden oldie by Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3wXN-dqrj0

I taught the evolution of music in both literature and history.

Well, y'all, today is this lady's birthday:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah_D015jrzM

I remember her and her Captain, and it reminded me of this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKppSotWL3o

Did I just see Albert Einstein?

I like all of your songs, letty. Particularly Ride Captain Ride.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOkNBMbXASw
Got one by The Hawk

Thanks again for your comment and personal acknowledgement, Mark.

Jerry lee doing In the Mood by The Hawk was great. Love Glenn Miller's version as well.

I guess we know that a hawk is the symbol of war and the dove a symbol of piece.

Two songs for the afternoon here.

First, one inspired by my long time friend, McTag:

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

He and his musician friends will be doing that one.

Now, LaPaloma:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PaBpeOqPSg

I need to check on JLNobody.

The reason Jerry called himself The Hawk was to see if he could get air play under a different name. He was blackballed at the time over his marriage to Myra.

Thanks for that info on Jerry, Mark. I had no idea about his having been blackballed.

Here's an unusual version of this song by him:

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

I have that record of Bobby McGee, letty. I have been trying to play another song, but my computer so far won't post it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZzBESzOAIg
Ah. Now it works.
Jim Reeves

Had no idea that Gentleman Jim did Bimbo, Mark. I remember him doing Whispering Hope, and I guess you know why. I look back at happier times now, as you know.

Here's another oldie but goodie. I read all of Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Books when I was a kid.

Saying good afternoon with Sabu:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyESu-Zu9bI

Good having England and Scotland with us (via his music) and Texas, of course.

From Letty with love to the world

I have seen that Jungle Book movie a few times, letty. Makes me think of this by Fabian.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQLTmy3YYC8

Thanks, Mark, for keeping our radio station going. Also appreciate your comment and personal acknowledgment.

Poor Sabu. He died at 39 in 1963.

Like a Tiger by Fabian was great, and it reminded me of this poem by
William Blake:

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare sieze the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art.
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Hank Snow's birthday is today.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNo0cGi1xZU

So is Billy Joel's. Here he is with Elton John.

Once again calling everyone.

Today is Albert Finney's birthday, but first some info:

Albert Finney is an English actor. Beginning in the theatre, Finney was especially successful in plays by William Shakespeare before he switched to films.


I noticed where he did Fandango so here is the dance:

Here's a surprise to me. He did this movie with Audrey Hepburn:
