WA2K Radio is now on the air

Doing an action adventure, with hope of attracting the attention of a movie producer. Ssh. Don't tell anyone. Don't want to jinx it.

Watch out for Mr. Turtle. He tells stuff, edgar. This is how I first learned to use a computer.

The song that launched Paul Anka's career. He wrote this to the girl that rejected him. After it was a hit, she made overtures to him, but, too late; he'd moved on.

Diana
Paul Anka

I'm so young and you're so old
This, my darling, I've been told
I don't care just what they say
'Cause forever I will pray
You and I will be as free
As the birds up in the trees
Oh, please, stay by me, Diana

Thrills I get when you hold me close
Oh, my darling, you're the most
I love you but do you love me
Oh, Diana, can't you see
I love you with all my heart
And I hope we will never part
Oh, please, stay with me, Diana

Oh, my darlin', oh, my lover
Tell me that there is no other
I love you with my heart
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Only you can take my heart
Only you can tear it apart
When you hold me in your lovin' arms
I can feel you giving all your charms
Hold me darling, ho-ho-hold me tight
Squeeze me, baby, with a-all your might
Oh, please, stay by me, Diana
Oh, please, Diana
Oh, please, Diana
Oh, please, Diana

Well, folks. Our edgar is on a roll today and we love it.

I recall that song, Texas, and as synchronicity would have it, dys and Diane should join us here for Bob's celebration.

Until then, listeners, here's an oldie by Sonny James to match Paul's song.

They say for every boy and girl
There's just one love in this whole world
And I know I've found mine
The heavenly touch of your embrace
Tells me no one could take your place
Ever in my heart

Young love (young love), first love (first love)
Filled with true devotion
Young love (young love), our love (our love)
We share with deep emotion

Just one kiss from your sweet lips
Will tell me that your love is real
And I can feel that it's true
We will vow to one another
There will never be another
Love for you or for me

Young love (young love), first love (first love)
Filled with true devotion
Young love (young love), our love (first love)
We share with deep emotion

[Words and Music by Robin Luke]
(ASCAP), inspired by his sister, Susie

I stood a-watchin' all night long
I stood a-watchin' all night long
I stood a-watchin' till you went away
You were a girl of many charms
Oh, how I loved you in my arms
I never thought that you would ever go
'cause I loved you so

Oh, uh, Susie darlin'
I thought you knew
You were all the world to me
All my dreams come true

I stood a-cryin' all night long
I stood a-cryin' all night long
Cryin' wishin' you'd come back to me-ee
Thinking of all the dreams we knew
Now that you're gone they won't come true
My heart is empty without you
Nothin' there but misery

Oh, uh, Susie darlin'
I thought you knew
You were all the world to me
All my dreams come true

Now-ow I stand a-watchin' all night long
I stand a-watchin' all night long
Knowing that life has nothing left for me-ee
I'll wait around most patiently
Hopin' you will return to me
'Til that happy day I will always be
Watchin' all night long

Oh, uh, Susie darlin'
I thought you knew
You were all the world to me
All my dreams come true

---- Instrumental Cha Cha Cha ----

Ah, edgar. That song reminds me of Molly Darlin', but I ain't gonna do that one, Texas.

I smiled at your Kiss and Make up thread, and I don't want to piss off no dead people, so I think I'll do this one from GWTW.

You and I said goodbye
With a friendly kiss
And though I'm not the surest kind
I'm kinda sure of this

Sooner or later you're gonna be comin' around, I'll betcha
I'll betcha that I getcha, you wait and see

Sooner or later you'll wanna be hangin' around, I'll letcha
I'll betcha if I letcha, you'll baby me

You're gonna knock on my door (knock knock)
You did it before (knock knock)
Matter o'factly I don't know exactly when

But sooner or later you're gonna be comin' around
And want my lovin' again

You ever play any of my stuff on this station, jack?

Hello, E. We have played lots of your music here. I recently purchased a box set of all the songs you recorded in the 1950s. There is a similar set of the 60s I am also looking to buy.

Hey, Elvis. Here's one for ya.

Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But i can't help
Falling in love with you


Shall i stay
Would it be a sin
if I can't help
Falling in love with you

as the river flows
gently to the sea
Darling so it goes
Somethings were meant to be

Take my hand
Take my whole life too
but I can't help
Falling in love with you

As the river flows
gently to the sea
Darling so it goes
Somethings were meant to be

Take my hand
Take my whole life too
I can't help
Falling in love with you

(for i can't help falling in love with you)

and then, folks, there's this jazz ballad and done by everyone.

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
And so I come to you my love, my heart above my head
Though I see the danger there
If there's a chance for me, then I don't care
Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know
When we met, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in

and that must be my goodnight song. Let's just say that Letty has left the building. <smile>

From Letty with love

Man, I remember when I recorded that. I'm gettin' all choked up now.

Here's one of my favorites, E.

I Was the One

I was the one who taught her to kiss The way that she kisses you now. And you know the way she touches your cheek, Well, I taught her how. I was the one who taught her to cry When she wants you under her spell. The sight of her tears drives you out of your mind, I taught her so well. And then one day I had my love as perfect as could be. She lived, she loved, she laughed, she cried, And it was all for me. I'll never know who taught her to lie. Now that it's over and done, Who learned the lesson when she broke my heart? I was the one. And then one day I had my love as perfect as could be. She lived, she loved, she laughed, she cried, And it was all for me. I'll never know who taught her to lie. Now that it's over and done, Who learned the lesson when she broke my heart? I was the one.

Was that one of mine, Edgar? I don't remember recording that.

It's possible I did, and I was drunk at the time, that's why I don't recall it.

Oh yeah. Way back in the 1950s, when you were not just good, but on the way to greatness.

Man, that's true.

I tried to google that, and I couldn't find it on any of my song lists.

But I'm not to good with this computer stuff, jack. The internet wasn't even invented when I died.

Thank you for that pm, Edgar. Unfortunately, I cannot pm you back because of my new member status, jack.

But thank you!

A hunka hunka you're welcome, E.

Good morning, WA2K listeners and contributors. It was nice having Elvis visit our little studio.

Having watched the movie Million Dollar Baby last evening, I decided to play this one by Babs.


It was a lucky April shower
It was a most convenient dorm
I found a million dollar baby in a five and ten cent store
The rain continued for an hour
I hang around for three our four
Around a million dollar baby in a five an ten cent store

She was selling china
And when she made those eyes
I kept buying china until the crop got wise

Incidentally
If you should run into a shower
Just step inside my cottage door
And meet the million dollar baby from the five and ten cent store

Incidentally
If you should run into a shower
Just step inside my cottage door
And meet the million dollar baby from the five and ten
Five and ten cents store.

Spring is here
The sky is blue
(whoa-whoa-whoa)
Birds all sing
As if they knew
Today's the day
We'll say I do
And we'll never be lonely anymore
Because we're

Goin' to the chapel and we're
Gonna get married
Goin' to the chapel and we're
Gonna get married
Gee, I really love you and we're
Gonna get married
Goin' to the chapel of love

Bells will ring
The sun will shine
(whoa-whoa-whoa)
I'll be his and
He'll be mine
We'll love until
The end of time
And we'll never be lonely anymore
Because we're

Goin' to the chapel and we're
Gonna get married
Goin' to the chapel and we're
Gonna get married
Gee, I really love you and we're
Gonna get married
Goin' to the chapel of love

Hey, dys. I assume that your chapel song is for our Bob and Nair. They should be seeing the Justice of the Peace pretty soon today. Hope that we hear from the groom soon. Thanks, for playing that one for the couple.

Well, folks, they may not be in London, but I think both will appreciate this lovely song.

A NIGHTINGALE SANG IN BERKLEY SQUARE
Music by Eric Maschwitz Words by Manning Sherwin 1919

When true lovers meet in Mayfair,
So the legends tell,
Song birds sing,
Winter turns to spring,
Ev'ry winding street in Mayfair falls beneath the spell.
I know such enchantment can be,
'Cause it happened one ev'ning to me.

Chorus:
That certain night,
The night we met,
There was magic abroad in the air.
There were angels dining at the Ritz
And a nightingale sang in Berk'ley Square

I may be right, I may be wrong,
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turn'd and smiled at me,
A nightingale sang in Berk'ley Square

The moon that lingered over London town
Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown
How could he know we two were so in love
The whole darn world seemed upside down

The streets of town were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And as we kiss'd and said "good-night"
A nightingale sang in Berk'ley Square

How strange it was , How sweet and strange
There was never a dream to compare
With that hazy, crazy night we met
When a nightingale sang in Berk'ley Square

This heart of mine beat loud and fast
Like a merry-go-round in a fair
For we were dancing cheek to cheek
And a nightingale sang in Berk'ley Square

When dawn came stealing up all golden blue,
To interrupt our rendezvous.
I still remember how you smiled and said,
"Was that a dream or was it true?"

Our homeward step was just as light
As the tap-dancing feet of Astaire
And like an echo far away,
A nightingale sang in Berk'ley Square.

I know 'cause I was there,
That night in Berk'ley Square

Good morning WA2K.

Remembering Raymond Burr and Fats Waller today.
