WA2K Radio is now on the air

ooooh - bad rhyme, in my accent anyway. Unfathomable simile too.

One person's "bad rhyme" is another person's lingo.

Good morning, WA2K radio.

edgar, that moonshine song and dance was funny. Thanks for the morning smile, Texas.

Rex, welcome back, and your lyrics were great, Maine. You may tell hingehead that your comparison rhyme was a metaphor.

hinge, you are most welcome on our little cyber radio. Stick around, Aussie.

Also enjoyed the accordion piece, Rex. Thanks!

Well, all, today is Loretta Lynn's birthday, and this song reminds me of my friend, Santa Tomas E Lucas. We judged a talent contest and some rather large young lady sang the following song. Dan looked at me when she sang, "You ain't woman enough to take my man", and said.

I believe her.

Honky Tonk Man sung By Clint Eastwood (1982)
I almost forgot about this song by Clint Eastwood!

Honky Tonk Man sung by Clint Eastwood "1982"

Good afternoon WA2K.

Remembering Rod Steiger



and wishing a Happy 67th to Julie Christie

Hey, Victor. I have the RNA of an elephant. I even remember when Clint was Rowdy Yates. Thanks for the Honky Tonk Man.

Here's a tribute to that Eastwood guy, y'all.

Thanks, Raggedy, for the great trio, and here is one for Julie Christie from Dr. Zhivago

I remember Clint Eastwood as Rowdy Yates too. Next Sunday April 20th I'll be 62!

Hee, hee. Victor, why are you blushing? Don't you know that we all get better as we age.

Ain't Clint cute, folks?

Old buddy Phil Ochs sends you all a Tape From California. Sorry I can't stop and talk now. In kind of a hurry.

edgar, why are you in such a hurry? Slow down, Texas, cause you'll miss this tribute to Phil.

Nice singing, letty.

In an earlier time, I did not care to listen to Dolly Parton's voice. But, I gradually changed my mind. Here is a very nice one from her, The Coat of Many Colors.

And, a sort of redneck anthem to finish the night's offerings. Yee-haw.

Nor I, edgar, but I have come to appreciate performers whatever the genre. I liked "Coat of Many Colors". Rather reminded me of the Ballad of the Harp Weaver.

Well, folks, it's time for me to say goodnight, and hearing "Take Five" also reminded me of Paul Desmond, so this is what I will hear in my dreams.

From Letty with love.

P.S. Will listen to the red neck tomorrow.

Good morning, WA2K listeners and contributors.

First, allow me to say that it is COLD here, but I got a kick out of edgar's red neck song. Thanks, Texas.

Here's an odd coincidence. I was checking out The Ballad of the Harp Weaver and found that Johnny Cash did a version of the poem in song; however, I couldn't find a proper version on YouTube. Perhaps someone else can do so.

When I listened to Yee-Haw, I saw Leon Russel's name among the listings, so I decided to play this one.

Good morning, all. It's cool enough for jackets here in beautiful Tomball. I hope it isn't too early for Clyde.
Lover Please
Clyde McPhatter

Hey, edgar. Hope it's not too late for Roy, but today is his birthday so here is one by him.

Good morning WA2K.
