WA2K Radio is now on the air

Good morning, Miss Letty.

Translating this song is difficult, other than that it will not improve the tonic. It's a sad song of rain and lost dreams..

I'll try to post something more "vibrant" with translation later...

Well, Francis, for once, my translator seemed to get the gist of the mushroom and inclement weather music. Of course, folks, there is always a lost love somewhere in every rain song.

Last evening, I watched The Gangs of New York, and was stunned at the history behind it. I had no idea that it involved conscription and the Civil War. Daniel Day Lewis was superb!

I read an article on the amount of effort Daniel Day Lewis put into preparing himself for that characterization.

Very dedicated to his craft.

You're right, Gus. I was a bit overwhelmed with the violence, but the movie was worth the watch. So much of history is hidden in times of war, no?

I would say history is more exposed in times of war.

Well, dear. You may be correct, but I didn't read about that in my history book. <smile>

A brief review from a Civil War buff:

The movie makes the important point that the North had run out of "home grown" manpower to fight the South. Had it not been for Irish and German volunteers through 1863, and black volunteers in 1864, the North would have sued for peace. The 1864 Democratic Platform promised to bring the War to a swift and speedy conclusion.

Bravo to Scorsese for bringing all of this to light. In the meantime, the movie is about twenty minutes too long. The brothel scenes, the "uptown" scenes, and some of the scenes in the catacombs struck me as slow and superfluous. On the other hand, the street scenes and the scenes of the random gangs (of which I wish there were more) were glorious.

One thing Scorsese left out, however: The mountains of animal and human waste in the streets! Not long after his movie was released, the History Channel produced a documentary on the Five Points area, and it is staggering to consider the tons and tons of animal and human waste piling up in the streets, and the thousands of gallons of urine running in the gutters. There were old photos of waste in the streets stacked six feet high. Needless to say, infant mortality in such a fetid environment was about 50%. Scorsese leaves this out, and there is scarcely a horse in the movie.

Day-Lewis does a superb job with a character that is unevenly developed. He is a homicidal thug in the beginning, a menacing, but somewhat benign, presence in the middle, and a psychotic killer in the end. It isn't really clear why he vacillates the way he does. Bi-polar, I guess. DiCaprio proves he can act, and he exudes a manliness he did not possess in earlier films. Diaz turns in a creditable performance. The cast of thousands adds a nice touch to the film.

I would never say this is a "great" film, but it certainly is worth a look. Kudos to Scorsese for the herculean effort, and a tip of the kepi for the poetic ending, which reminded me of the ending in 1936's "San Francisco."

There were old photos of waste in the streets stacked six feet high.

I have a book around here somewhere that shows that very thing. It's a bit of an unusual book in that the photographer seemed obsessed with taking pictures of street scenes where people are struggling through knee-deep mud and feces. Unusual, but very enlightening as far as seeing what the "good old days" were really like in some aspects.

Absolutely, Gus. Incidentally, it's nice to see you here with a more serious view of life. <smile>

Well, folks, We are always interested in new talent that emerges from our vast audience here on our radio, and tagged-lyricist introduced me to a new aspect of music, so here's a song in honor of the lady:



Artist: Lauryn Hill Lyrics
Song: Can't Take My Eyes Off of You Lyrics




[CHORUS 1]
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off of you.
You'd be like heaven to touch.I wanna hold you so much.At long last love has arrived.And I thank God I'm alive.You're just too good to be true.Can't take my eyes off of you.
Pardon the way that I stare.There's nothing else to compare.The sight of you leaves me weak.There are no words left to speak.
But if you feel like I feel.Please let me know that it's real.You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off of you.

[CHORUS 2]
I need you baby
And if it's quite all right,
I need you babyTo warm a lonely night.I love you baby.Trust in me when I say:Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray.Oh pretty baby, now that I found you, stay.And let me love you,
Oh baby let me love you, oh baby....

Repeat Chorus 1[To fade]

I need you baby, and if it's quite all right,
I need you baby to warm a lonely night.
I love you baby.Trust in me when I say:Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray.Oh pretty baby, now that I found you, stay.And let me love you, oh baby let me love you, oh baby....
I need you baby, and if it's quite all right,
I need you baby to warm a lonely night.I love you baby.Trust in me when I say:Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray.Oh pretty baby, now that I found you, stay.And let me love you, oh baby let me love you, oh baby....


Had no idea of this talented woman's ability to re do the old songs.

Good morning Miss Letty, and all in radio land, except damn Yankees - no, just kidding.

Here is a little tune for yu'all.


Tanya Tucker -

I Believe The South Is Gonna Rise Again Lyrics


Mama never had a flower garden
'Cause cotton grew right up to our front door
Daddy never went on a vacation
He died a tired old man at fourty four

Our neighbors in the big house called us redneck
'Cause we lived in a poor share-croppers shack
The Jacksons down the road were poor like we were
But our skin was white and theirs was black

But I believe the south is gonna rise again
But not the way we thought it would back then
I mean everybody hand in hand
I believe the south is gonna rise again

I see wooded parks and big skyscrapers
Where dirty rundown shacks stood once before
I see sons and daughters of share-croppers
But they're not picking cotton anymore

But more important I see human kindness
As we forget the bad and keep the good
A brand new breeze is blowing 'cross the southland
And I see a brand new kind of brotherhood

Yes I believe the south is gonna rise again
Oh, but not the way we thought it would back then
I mean everybody hand in hand
I believe the south is gonna rise again
I believe the south is gonna rise again
I believe the south is gonna rise again…

Well, listeners, here's a bit of odd news:

Buddy Holly Watch Fetches $155,350 13 minutes ago



DALLAS - The diamond-studded watch Buddy Holly was wearing when he was killed in a plane crash has been sold at auction for $155,350.


The buyer was a woman near San Francisco who wanted to remain anonymous, said Heritage Auction Galleries spokesman Doug Norwine. He said she was a "tremendous" fan of the rock 'n' roll pioneer and had even flown to London and New York to see a musical based on his life.

"She didn't buy it as in investment," Norwine said. "She just really loved his music and is starting her collection."

Does it seem strange to you that we have been discussing Don McLean and suddenly this comes to light?

Well, in remembrance of Buddy:

That'll Be the Day
Lyrics for Album: The Very Best of Linda Ronstadt

Well that'll be the day
When you say goodbye
That'll be the day
When you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave
You know it's a lie
Cause that'll be the day that I die

Well that'll be the day
When you say goodbye
That'll be the day
When you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave
You know it's a lie
Cause that'll be the day that I die

Well you gave me all your loving
And your turtle doving
All your hugs and kisses
And your money too
You know you love me baby
Still you tell me baby
That someday when I'll be true

Well that'll be the day
When you say goodbye
That'll be the day
When you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave me
You know it's a lie
Cause that'll be the day that I die

When Cupid shot his dart
He shot it at your heart
So if we ever part then I'll be blue
You kiss and hold me
And you tell me boldy
Well that someday that I'll be true

Well that'll be the day
When you say goodbye
That'll be the day
When you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave me
You know it's a lie
Cause that'll be the day that I die

Ah that'll be the day wooh-ooh-ooh
That'll be the day woo-ooh-ooh
That'll be the day woo-ooh-ooh
That'll be the day when I die

Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who's gonna let it roll?
Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who's gonna let it down easy to save his soul?

Oh, Lucky's been drivin' a long, long time
And now he's stuck on top of the hill.
With twelve forward gears, it's been a long hard climb,
And with all of them ladies, though, he's lonely still.

Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who's gonna let it roll?
Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who's gonna let it down easy to save his soul?

Well, he deep in number and heavy in toil,
Mighty Mockingbird, he still has such a heavy load.
Beneath his bound'ries, what more can I tell,
With all of his trav'lin', but I'm still on that road.

Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who's gonna let it roll?
Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who's gonna let it down easy to save his soul?

Well, there's our dys. Right, buddy. Who is gonna let it roll?

Thomas Moore, 1779-1852
The minstrel boy to the war is gone,
In the ranks of death you'll find him;
His father's sword he hath girded on,
And his wild harp slung behind him;
"Land of Song!" cried the warrior bard,
"Tho' all the world betrays thee,
One sword, at least, thy right shall guard,
One faithful harp shall praise thee!"
The Minstrel fell! But the foeman's steel
Could not bring that proud soul under;
The harp he lov'd ne'er spoke again,
For he tore its chords asunder;
And said "No chains shall sully thee,
Thou soul of love and brav'ry!
Thy songs were made for the pure and free
They shall never sound in slavery!

US Civil War verse

The minstrel boy will return, we pray,
When we hear the news we all will cheer it.
The minstrel boy will return one day,
Torn perhaps in body, not in spirit.
Then may he play on his harp in peace,
In a world such as Heaven has intended,
For all the bitterness of man must cease,
And every battle must be ended

Thornton Wilder
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thornton Wilder (April 17, 1897 - December 7, 1975) was an American playwright and novelist.


Life

Family

Born Thornton Niven Wilder in Madison, Wisconsin, he was the son of Amos Parker Wilder a U.S. diplomat, and Isabella Niven Wilder. All of the Wilder children spent part of their childhood in China due to their father's work.

Wilder's older brother, Amos Niven Wilder was Hollis Professor of Divinity at the Harvard Divinity School and a noted poet. His younger sister Isabel Wilder was an accomplished writer. Both of his other sisters, Charlotte Wilder (a noted poet) and Janet Wilder Dakin (a zoologist), attended Mount Holyoke College and were excellent students. Wilder also had a twin brother who died at birth.

Education

Wilder began writing plays while at The Thacher School in Ojai, California, where he did not fit in and was teased by classmates as overly intellectual. According to a classmate, "We left him alone, just left him alone. And he would retire to the library, his hideaway, learning to distance himself from humiliation and indifference." His family lived for a time in Berkeley, California where his sister Janet was born in 1910. Thornton attended Emerson Elementary School in Berkeley, and graduated from Berkeley High School in 1915.

After serving in the U.S. Coast Guard during World War I, he attended Oberlin College before earning his B.A. at Yale University in 1920. He earned his M.A. in French from Princeton University in 1926.


Career

In 1926 Wilder's first novel The Cabala was published. In 1927, The Bridge of San Luis Rey brought him commercial success and his first Pulitzer Prize in 1928. From 1930 to 1937 he taught at the University of Chicago. In 1938 and 1943 he won the Pulitzer Prize for drama for his plays Our Town and The Skin of Our Teeth. World War II saw him rise to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Army Air Force and receive several awards. He went on to be a visiting professor at the University of Hawaii and to teach poetry at Harvard. Though he considered himself a teacher first and a writer second, he continued to write all his life, receiving the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade in 1957 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1963. In 1967 he won the National Book Award for his novel The Eighth Day. He died in his sleep, December 7, 1975 in Hamden, Connecticut, where he had been living with his sister Isabel for many years.

Wilder was good dealing with a large number of people including Ernest Hemingway, Willa Cather, Montgomery Clift and Gertrude Stein. Although he never discussed his homosexuality publicly or in his writings, his close friend Samuel M. Steward is considered to have been his lover.

Works


Wilder authored numerous plays, novels, and a variety of shorter works including essays, one act plays, and scholarly articles. He also translated and wrote the libretti to two operas. Alfred Hitchcock, whom he admired, asked him to write the screenplay to his thriller, Shadow of a Doubt.

The Bridge of San Luis Rey (1927) tells the story of several unrelated people who happen to be on a bridge in Peru when it collapses, killing them. Philosophically, the book explores the problem of evil, or the question of why unfortunate events occur to people who seem "innocent" or "undeserving".

It won the Pulitzer Prize in 1928, and in 1998 it was selected by the editorial board of the American Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of the twentieth century. The book was quoted by Tony Blair during the memorial service for victims of the September 11 attacks in 2001. Since then its popularity has grown enormously.

This book is the progenitor of the modern disaster epic in literature and film-making, where a single disaster intertwines the victims, whose lives are then explored by means of flashbacks to events before the disaster.

Wilder was the author of Our Town, a popular play (and later film) set in fictional Grover's Corners, New Hampshire. It was inspired by his friend Gertrude Stein's novel The Making of Americans, and many elements of Stein's deconstructive style can be found throughout the work. Our Town employs a choric narrator called the "Stage Manager" and a minimalist set to underscore the universality of human experience. (Wilder himself played the Stage Manager on Broadway for two weeks and later in summer stock productions.) The play won the 1938 Pulitzer Prize. Wilder suffered from severe writer's block while writing the final act.

His play The Skin of Our Teeth opened in New York on November 18, 1942 with Fredric March and Tallulah Bankhead in the lead roles. Again, the themes are familiar--war, pestilence, economic depression, fire. Ignoring the limits of time and space, just four characters and three acts are used to review the history of mankind.

The Matchmaker, a farcical play based on Austrian playwright Johann Nestroy's Einen Jux will er sich machen (1842), was adapted into the musical Hello, Dolly! by Michael Stewart and Jerry Herman.

His last novel, Theophilus North, was published in 1973.

William Holden
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


William Holden (April 17, 1918 - on or about November 12, 1981) was an Oscar-winning American film actor.

Early life and career

Born William Franklin Beedle Jr. in O'Fallon, Illinois, he was the eldest of three sons of William Franklin Beedle, Sr., an industrial chemist, and Mary Blanche Ball, a teacher. The family, who moved to Pasadena, California when he was three, was of English descent; Holden's paternal great-grandmother, Rebecca Westfield, was born in England in 1817, while some of his mother's ancestors immigrated to the U.S. in the 17th century from Millenback, Lancaster, England. While attending Pasadena Junior College he became involved in local radio plays and with the Pasadena Playhouse, leading to his discovery by a talent scout from Paramount Pictures in 1937. His first role was in Prison Farm the following year.


Hollywood's "Golden Boy"


His first starring role was in 1939's Golden Boy in which he played a boxer who wants to be a violinist. After Columbia Pictures picked up half of his contract he alternated between starring in several minor pictures for Paramount and Columbia before serving in the Army Air Corps during World War II, where he acted in training films. Beginning in 1950 his career rebounded when Billy Wilder tapped him to star as the down-at-the-heels screenwriter in Sunset Boulevard. Following this breakthrough film he played a series of roles that combined good looks with cynical detachment, including the prisoner of war entrepreneur in Stalag 17 (for which he won an Academy Award for Best Actor), the wandering braggard in Picnic and the ill-fated prisoner in The Bridge on the River Kwai. He also played a number of sunnier roles in light comedy, such as the dashing architect in The Moon is Blue, the tutor in Born Yesterday and Humphrey Bogart's younger, playboy brother in Sabrina.

However, Holden starred in his share of forgettable movies (which he was forced into by studio contracts). He suffered from alcoholism and depression for many years. By the early 1960s his roles were having less critical and commercial impact. In 1966 while in Italy Holden was involved in a car accident in which the other driver was killed. It was determined Holden had been driving under the influence of alcohol; he was charged with vehicular manslaughter, and received an eight-month suspended prison sentence. Holden was overcome with guilt and friends said this led to even heavier bouts of drinking. The actor reportedly had another secret: for many years he did undercover work for the CIA, delivering messages to foreign leaders during his travels.

Later career

In 1969 he starred in director Sam Peckinpah's graphically violent Western The Wild Bunch, winning much acclaim. He was also praised for his leading performance in Network (1976), playing an older version of the character type he had perfected in the 1950s, only now more jaded and aware of his own mortality. In 1980 Holden appeared in The Earthling with child actor Ricky Schroder, playing a loner dying of cancer who goes to the Australian outback to end his days, meets a young boy whose parents have been killed in an accident, and teaches him how to survive. Schroder later named one of his sons Holden.

Private life

Holden was married to actress Brenda Marshall from 1941 until their divorce (after many long separations) in 1971. They had two sons, Peter Westfield (born in 1944) and Scott Porter (born in 1946). He also adopted Virginia, his wife's daughter from her first marriage. Holden had a busy social life, maintained a home in Switzerland and also spent much of his time working for wildlife conservation as a managing partner in an animal preserve in Africa. He began a long relationship with actress Stefanie Powers which sparked her interest in animal welfare (Powers later became President of the "William Holden Wildlife Foundation" and a director of their Mount Kenya Game Ranch).


Other possible children

He had reported affairs with a number of Hollywood actresses, including Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Capucine, and a "yearly rendezvous" with Shelley Winters.

Holden is believed to have had a seven-year relationship with Eva May Hoffman, the wife of composer Emil Newman, and visual evidence strongly supports the allegation that he was the biological father of Hoffman and Newman's children Arlene and William.

Death

William Holden died as the result of a fall in his highrise apartment on the seaside cliffs of Santa Monica, California in November 1981. Holden was alone and heavily intoxicated when he apparently slipped on a throw rug, gashed his head on a night table and bled to death. Evidence suggests he was conscious for at least a half an hour after the fall but may not have realized the severity of the injury and didn't summon aid. His body was found on November 16, but forensic and other evidence suggested he had been dead for several days and most likely died on November 12.

His body was cremated and his ashes scattered in the Pacific Ocean.

Trivia

* Holden's height was 5'11".

* Good friends with Ronald Reagan.

* Holden's acceptance speech for his Academy Award was among the shortest on record: "Thank you!"

* According to Suzanne Vega, Holden is the actor mentioned in the lyrics of her song "Tom's Diner" (and has said a story about his death was on the New York Post's front page the day she wrote it):

I open
Up the paper
There's a story
Of an actor

Who had died
While he was drinking
It was no one
I had heard of

* His role in Stalag 17 earned him a Best Actor Academy Award. Holden felt he didn't deserve it, saying he thought Burt Lancaster should have won for From Here to Eternity.

* He appeared in The Bridge Over the River Kwai with Sir Alec Guinness, another Best Actor winner.

* According to interviews with cast members on the Stalag 17 Special Edition DVD, Holden was told by his wife after his Oscar win that he didn't win for the film; it was a belated win for Sunset Boulevard.

Jennifer Garner
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Jennifer Anne Garner (born on April 17, 1972) is an American film and television actress.


Biography


Early life

Garner was born in Houston, Texas to Patricia Ann English (a teacher) and Bill Garner, a chemical engineer; she is the middle child between two sisters, Melissa and Suzanna. When she was three years old, her father's job with Union Carbide forced the family to relocate to Charleston, West Virginia, where Garner lived until her college years.

In 1990, Garner graduated from George Washington High School in Charleston, West Virginia, where she played the saxophone [1]. She also studied ballet for nine years before enrolling at Denison University to study chemical engineering. Upon realizing that she enjoyed stage acting more than science, Garner changed her major to drama. Garner graduated in 1994, and planned to continue her drama education at Yale University. However, keen for experience, she visited a friend in New York City in 1995 and decided to take her chances in theatre [2].


Career

In New York City, Garner earned $150 a week as an understudy in a play. She was then cast in her first television role, a part in the made-for-television movie, Zoya, based on the Danielle Steele novel. Her next acting jobs were in two short-lived television series, Significant Others and Time of Your Life, as well as in two Hallmark Hall of Fame movies, including the 1997 film, Rose Hill, based on the best selling book For The Roses by Julie Garwood.

In 1996, she appeared on an episode of the NBC drama Law & Order. She played a college student who engaged in an affair with Detective Rey Curtis.

Subsequently, Garner moved to Los Angeles, California and got a job as a hostess at a restaurant before being cast as Hannah Bibb on the WB series, Felicity. On the set, she met her future husband, Scott Foley. Garner played his character's girlfriend. In 2000, Garner appeared in the comedy Dude, Where's My Car?, playing Ashton Kutcher's girlfriend. In 2001, she appeared as a nurse in the big-budget version of Pearl Harbor, co-starring Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale.

Later in 2001, J. J. Abrams, who produced Felicity, approached Garner about starring in a new show he was working on for ABC. Garner auditioned and was cast in the role of Sydney Bristow in the spy drama Alias. The series became a success and Garner won the award for "Best Actress in a Television Series - Drama" at the January 2002 Golden Globes. Alias had just begun a few months beforehand, and Garner won the award with only half the season's episodes aired. The series had a successful run since, and will conclude after the end of its fifth season. Garner's salary for the show began at $45,000 an episode, and had since risen to $150,000 per episode.

During the show's run, Garner received four consecutive Golden Globe nominations for her lead performance. She has also received four consecutive Emmy nominations for "Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series". Garner won the "Actor Award" from the Screen Actors Guild in 2005. The category had only five nominees and is composed of all actresses in any dramatic roles, both lead and supporting. In March 2005, Garner directed "In Dreams", an Alias episode which aired in May. Garner has been receiving "producer/director" credit for the series since the show's fifth season.

After the initial success of Alias, Garner returned to her film career with a small role in the Steven Spielberg film Catch Me If You Can, and starred alongside Ben Affleck as Elektra Natchios in the action movie Daredevil, an adaptation of the comic book. She reprised her role as "Elektra" in the 2005 spin-off to Daredevil, entitled Elektra. Garner showed her comedic side in the romantic comedy 13 Going on 30, which was a financial success and established her as a leading feature film actress. Garner is known for performing her own stunts, and in January 2005 was forced to bow out of some publicity duties for Elektra, due to what was first thought to have been a viral infection but was revealed to be the effects of nerve damage to her back, caused by a stunt during the filming of Alias.

In 2005, Garner entered the Forbes "Power 100" list of celebrities. Garner ranked as the 5th best paid actress in Hollywood, accumulating an estimated US $14 million over the year 2004/05 [3]. She came 8th behind Cameron Diaz in the power rankings. During the 2006 Academy Awards ceremony, Garner stumbled on her flowing dress (designed by Michael Kors) as she came onto the stage to present the award for Sound Editing. She did not fall, but lost her balance, and jokingly commented, "I do my own stunts!"

Garner's next film will be the drama Catch and Release. She will also perform voice work for the 2006 version of Charlotte's Web.

Garner has formed a production company named Vandalia Films, which will produce its first film in 2007. Garner will produce the company's upcoming films.


Personal life

On October 19, 2000, Garner married actor Scott Foley, who appeared with her on the television show Felicity. The two later separated and were officially divorced in 2004. Garner then dated her Alias co-star Michael Vartan until mid-2004, when she began dating her Daredevil co-star Ben Affleck.

On June 29, 2005, Garner and Affleck were married at the Parrot Cay resort on the Caribbean Islands of Turks and Caicos; the wedding had not been announced to the press beforehand. Around this period, Garner was pregnant with the couple's first child. Her pregnancy was incorporated into the plot of Alias [4]. She was rumored to be absent from several episodes that will be produced around and after the birth but the season's number of episodes was cut by a few and given an extended hiatus in order to let Garner have a maternity leave.. On December 1, 2005, she gave birth to their child, daughter Violet Anne Affleck.

Garner enjoys cooking, gardening, hiking and kickboxing (a hobby inspired by her Alias character).

Subject: Jesus and Satan




Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who was better
on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly God was
tired of hearing all the bickering.



Finally fed up, God said, "THAT'S IT! I have had enough. I am going to
set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those results, I
will judge who does the better job."



So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.

They moused.

They faxed.

They e-mailed.

They e-mailed with attachments.

They downloaded.

They did spreadsheets!

They wrote reports.

They created labels and cards.

They created charts and graphs.

They did some genealogy reports.

They did every job known to man.


Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and Satan
was faster than hell.


Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly
flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course,
the power went off.


Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known
in the underworld.


Jesus just sighed.


Finally the electricity came back on, and each of them restarted
their computers.


Satan started searching frantically, screaming: "It's gone! It's all
GONE!


I lost everything when the power went out!"


Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from
the past two hours of work.


Satan observed this and became irate.
"Wait!" he screamed.


"That's not fair! He cheated!


How come he has all his work and I don't have any?"

God just shrugged and said, " JESUS SAVES ! "

Well, Bob. We know that the bio's are all done when you SAVE the best for "laugh."

I am particularly interested in Thornton Wilder, as he was a man ahead of his time. Although I loved OUR TOWN, The Bridge of San Luis Rey, was intriguing because it was so surprising.

Well, folks. Francis is not the only incarnation of happiness on our radio. There are a couple of others.

Bob and Reyn, to mention the other two.

Bob with his new found love, and our Reyn's birthday today.

For Bob, the title to a song: "Be My Life's Companion."
and for Reyn "Wise men say, only fools rush in, be we can't help falling in love with Reyn.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY B.C.

Hi Letty. Thanks so much for the birthday greetings. It seems just yesterday that I was in my 20s and thinking that retirement was a million years away. :wink:

I'll pop in later again when you've played my song.

perfect timing, Reyn, as usual, and here it is:

Moody Blues

And when the words are
Touched with sorrow
When the music plays
And when the music plays
