WA2K Radio is now on the air

Good morning, WA2K listeners and contributors.

Well, I must say, folks, that it was nice to awaken to the 1812 Overture; Laverne Baker, The RCMP and Spike (that song was sooooo risque)

Thanks, edgar and hbg. What a wonderful way to begin the day.

Here's another Canadian, y'all, and today is her birthday.

Sarah McLachlan
Arms Of An Angel lyrics

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it ok
There's always some reason to feel ânot good enoughâ?
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction, oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
They may be empty and weightless, and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of an Angel, fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of an Angel, far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
In the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here

Good afternoon, Walter. Love that, and as we wait for Urs.

Our recipe in song for today, folks

Woke up early this morning, made some cowmeat like I always do.
Then it hit me from nowhere, everything I love is small meaty foods
The way my taste buds go crazy, sausages are so amazing.

Seven days and seven nights of hamburgers
The waters rising and I'm eating bigger.
I think I fell in love with the bratwurst buthcher.

I guess that I'm just falling deeper into one meat I'll never stop chowing.
But the way that I'm feeling, makes me realize that it can't be gone
my lunch is like a yummy stake, washing my hunger away
chourus(1)
It's only been a week, but I'm gonna eat it raw.
It's making me believe you're the one that we'll heat

Good afternoon WA2K.

Wonder why my stomach feels queasy? Think I'll forget the hamburger and have a salad for lunch. Laughing

Funny thing. Wikipedia shows Mikhail Baryshnikov as having a birthday today. I could have sworn he was on Wikipedia's birthday list yesterday. Oh well. Happy Birthday again, Mikhail.

and a Happy 72nd to Alan Alda, 40th to Sarah McLachlan and 27th to Elijah Wood.

Let's hear one from Elijah, shall we?

OSCAR MAYER WEINER SONG

Ev-ery one would be in love with me.

Marvelous, hbg. Know the weiner song, but ala gospel was fantastic. I think we also know, "My bologna has a first name."

That commercial, folks, will keep WA2K radio on the air for some time.

Well, here's another, because today is the 50th anniversary of the lego(leggo) brick invention.

First, however, I think we need to know about numa numa.

Acronym Definition
NUMA National Underwater Marine Agency
NUMA Non Uniform Memory Access
NUMA Non-Uniform Memory Allocation (Sequent)
NUMA Non-Uniform Memory Architecture

My, my. That certainly does help. Rolling Eyes

Well, we heard Elijah do one for those furry creatures, so let's hear this one for the little bricks.

Oh my goodness, Walter! Where did you find this?

No, I will not translate. Just this much - it is written in our dialect. Very nice Evil or Very Mad

UhOh, Urs. Was Walter being a bad boy? Razz

Hmmm, let's get a reminder from Bob Marley.

He might be making fun of me.... but then again, no, not our Walter!!! Rolling Eyes

No way, Urs. It's me! Hey, our Walter can be rather sardonic at times, but this song will sooth that side of him, methinks.

Hmmm, I just learned the inferences of the lyrics, folks.

You are very welcome, Urs.

You know, folks, you cannot teach people to appreciate music. They must first hear it, then decide for themselves. It is rather like languages. It the sound of the language that is compelling, I think. Nor can you teach people to be rhythmical as ehBeth observed.

I just discovered that Bob Marley died at the age of 38 because he developed a cancer on his toe where he had an old soccer wound. He refused to have the member amputated and it eventually metastasized to all parts of his body. His beliefs kept him from taking the proper steps.

Inspired by hbg's contribution to the picture connection forum, I decided to play and listen to Bach this evening.(if our listeners want to know why I was inspired, you must look for yourself)

here is ebeth's favourite BAND :wink:

TORONTO'S TAFELMUSIK ORCHESTRA

playing the COFFEE CANTATA - bach was really quite "with it " -
coffeehouses had just opened in germany and drinking coffee had became fashionable

http://youtube.com/watch?v=zmqhav2stck

and if you wish to sing along with this rather funny cantata :

Quote:

BWV 211 Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht (Kaffeekantate)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Specific occasion unknown, probably in Zimmermann's Coffee House.

Christian Friedrich Henrici (Picander), Ernst-Schertzhaffte und Satyrische Gedichte, Teil III (Leipzig, 1732); Facs: Neumann T, p. 348 (the last two movements are not in the PT). Late 1734 or early 1735, Leipzig.

BG 29; NBA I/40.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Coffee Cantata

Liesgen (S), Narrator (T), Schlendrian (1)(B)

1. Recit. (T) Narrator

Be quiet, chatter not,
Give ear to what will now transpire:
Now Mister Schlendrian
Comes with his daughter Liesgen here
And rumbles like a honey bear;
Now listen what she's done to him!

2. Aria (B) Schlendrian

Don't we have with our own children
Hundred thousand woes to see!

What I'm ever daily saying,
To my daughter Liesgen praying,
Passeth fruitless on its way.

3. Recit. (B, S) Schlendrian and Liesgen

(Schlendrian)
Thou naughty child, thou wanton hussy,
Ah, when will I achieve my way?
For me, off coffee lay!

(Liesgen)
Dear Father, do not be so strict!
For if I may not thrice each day
My little cup of coffee drink,
I'll turn indeed to my distress
Into a dried-up goat for roasting.

4. Aria (S) Liesgen

Ah! How sweet the coffee's taste is,
Sweeter than a thousand kisses,
Milder than sweet muscatel.

Coffee, coffee, I must have it,
And if someone wants to treat me,
Ah, my cup with coffee fill!

5. Recit. (B, S) Schlendrian, Liesgen

(Schlendrian)
If thou for me not coffee quit,
Thou shalt attend no wedding feast,
Nor ever take a stroll.

(Liesgen)
Agreed!
But here to me my coffee leave!

(Schlendrian)
Here now I've got the little monkey!
I will most sure a whalebone dress of latest girth refuse thee.

(Liesgen)
I can with ease learn this to bear.

(Schlendrian)
Thou shalt not to the window venture
And no one see who walks beneath it!

(Liesgen)
This also; but heed my petition
And grant that I my coffee keep!

(Schlendrian)
Thou shalt as well not from my hand
A silver or a golden band
Upon thy bonnet gain thee!

(Liesgen)
Yes, yes! But leave to me my pleasure!

(Schlendrian)
Thou wanton Liesgen thou,
Then dost thou yield me ev'rything?

6. Aria (B) Schlendrian

Maidens who are steely-hearted
Are not easily persuaded.
But just hit the proper spot,
Oh, ye'll have a happy lot.

7. Recit. (B, S) Schlendrian, Liesgen

(Schlendrian)
Now, follow what thy father bids!

(Liesgen)
In all things, only coffee not!

(Schlendrian)
Go on, thou must then be contented
To lack as well a husband ever.

(Liesgen)
O yes! Dear Father, please, a man!

(Schlendrian)
I swear it, it will never be.

(Liesgen)
Until from coffee I abstain?
Well! Coffee, be forever conquered!
Dear Father, mark, I'll never drink a bit.

(Schlendrian)
And thou in turn at last shalt get him.

8. Aria (S) Liesgen

This day, still,
O dear Father, do it, please!
Ah, a man!
Truly, he would suit me fine!

If it only soon might happen
That at last in coffee's stead,
Ere I yet shall go to bed,
I a gallant lover find me!

9. Recit. (T) Narrator

Old Mister Schlendrian now goes to seek
How he for this his daughter Liesgen
Soon may a husband here procure;
But Liesgen secretly makes known:
No suitor come into my house
Unless he's made to me the promise
And put it in the marriage contract, too,
That I shall be allowed to brew,
Whenever I desire, my coffee.

10. Chorus (S, T, B)

A cat its mousing never quits,
A girl remains a coffee-nurser.

The mothers love to use the brew,
The grandmas fondly drank it too,
So who would now the daughters censure?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. This name translates into something like "Stick-in-the-mud" or "Slowpoke."

Beautiful, hbg. It's called moderately fast. Razz

I think it was Francis that observed that many people do not understand a symphony. We here on our cyber radio do. The violins, the contra bass, the cellos and the "small piano" known as the harpsichord. I would like to observe that the harpsichord is the MOTHER of the piano.<smile>

Loved the Coffee Cantata and the lyrics made me grin, hbg. Wanton hussy? Do you know the etymology of the word "hussy"?

America is such a young country when compared to Europe. We do have some great classical composers, but at the moment let's listen to this one that I knew as a child.

Darn, edgar was faster, folks.

Love the theme from MASH, Texas. Someone once told me that I looked a bit like "hot Lips". Razz

Just found out that Robert Alda, Alan's father, did a movie about Gershwin. Perfect timing, y'all.
