WA2K Radio is now on the air

Before I log out and go watch my Gilmore Girls DVD, here is a song that brings great memories of me dancing with a very good friend of mine years ago. He is still a very good friend and the song still has me dancing

Jein

Hey, folks, just like old man river, our cyber radio just keeps rollin' along.

Back in a few to acknowledge each of our contributors. Right now, it's time for a station break.

This is cyber space, WA2K radio.

Hildegard Knef

Letty: Angelica Huston is actor,director, John Huston's daughter -Walter's granddaughter.

Bit of trivia: There are three generations of Oscar winners in the Huston family: Anjelica, her grandfather Walter Huston and her father John Huston. They are the first family to do so, the second family were the Coppolas - Francis Ford Coppola, Sofia Coppola, Nicolas Cage and Carmine Coppola.

edgar, a great song by Harry in honor of MLK. Thanks, Texas, for the reminder of how many risk their lives for a just and famous cause.

Victor, it's nice to have you back again and The Midnight Special is one that I know. Hope you are well, and thank you for Urs in reference to Hildegard.

Just found out that Angelica Huston is the granddaughter of Walter, Raggedy. Thanks for the additional info, puppy.

Urs' songs are delightful and the Zapata one is familiar. I share her love for dancing.

Ursula reminded me of Jenny Lind, the Swedish Nightingale, because Stefan was familiar with her, so speaking of dancing, here is a Jenny Lind polka.

For a long time, Trout Fishing in America was one of my son's top favorite singing groups.

Sorry, edgar, but Trout Fishin' didn't play so well, buddy. They must have been using live bait instead of a fly, or it could have been the heavy atmosphere here in my wee studio.

Inspired by Phoenix, I became interested in Robert Greenberg and decided to do this symphony piece by the man who caused him to do a complete lecture, extolling his genius.

Conway Twitty

I must say goodnight, and I think that I shall do it with some jazz and some country.

First the jazz

Now the country

Far Away Eyes

Good morning, WA2K radio.

I suppose, all, that we could consider our cyber radio as a studio with far away eyes.

Just a reminder. Without feedback, radio whether real or simulated, is faulty and needs renovating.

Today is Jackie Chan's birthday, and this song by him is funny and delightfully enlightening.

Good morning WA2K.

Remembering Billie Holiday (1915-1959)


and wishing a Happy 80th to James Garner; 69th to Francis Ford Coppola; 57th to Janis Ian; 54th to Jackie Chan and 44th to Russell Crowe

Good morning, Raggedy, and we thank you for the great array of notables. What a perfect day for Lady Day, puppy.

Here she is, folks.

"When I was seventeen, it was a very good year."(guess who)

Janie Ian has a different view..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4qyIx0z_6o

My image of Janis Ian for all these years has been the young lady doing Society's Child, in the late 1960s. She is still mighty good, though.

Welcome back, Texas. I just found out the significance of that song "society's Child." Quite a break through, right?

Yes. Letty, I have the album with that song, bought in those turbulent days, and it still seems fresh to me.

Well, edgar and our silent majority, time for me to say goodnight, and although this doesn't sound much like Ray, it is. According to Willie Nelson, this was Ray's last recording because he was very ill.

Tomorrow will have to be better.

From Letty with love

How does it feel to live and work in the shadow of a giant? No matter what Freddy Cole does, he is "only" Nat's brother.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7sc1V02dLk

So some would say. I love Freddy's record of Stevie Wonder's For Once in My Life. The first time I heard it, I thought: How could Nat King Cole have done that song? He died before it was written. Then, the radio announcer told us it had been Freddy's voice.
