WA2K Radio is now on the air

I had to go back to work. Plumbing problems. Good night, all.

Just something to keep the thread rolling The great Benny Goodman playing Sing Sing Sing. Watch that drummer, could it be Gene Krupa?

Here is one of he songs of my youth. My young love is now much older, yet it remains young.

Also, Sonny James with
Apache
I had previously only known of an instrumental of this song, by Jorgan Ingman.

Good morning Letty and listeners. Another oldie just crossed my mind, remember Frankie Laine singing 'Ghostrider in the sky'?

Dutchy, I most certainly do. I never hear that song that I don't think of Ambrose Bierce's short story, "Horseman in the Sky". What a great writer he was, and the entire sum and substance of that story was awesome.

I couldn't believe that Frankie Laine wrote the lyrics to this one, either, folks.

No tears
No fears
Remember there's always tomorrow
So what if we have to part
We'll be together again

Your kiss
Your smile
Are memories I'll treasure forever
So try thinking with your heart
We'll be together again

Times when I know you'll be lonesome
Times when I know you'll be sad
Don't let temptation surround you
Don't let the blues make you bad

Some day
Some way
We both have a lifetime before us
For parting is never goodbye
We'll be together again.

Times when I know you'll be lonesome
Times when I know you'll be sad
Don't let temptation surround you
Don't let the blues make you bad

Some day
Some way
We both have a lifetime before us
For parting is not goodbye
We'll be together again.

I guess I don't know which laws of plumbing you are referring to, letty.

Mr Bass Man. One I have not heard in a long time.

It's hard to pick a favorite Platters tune, but this is one of their best.

One hit wonder, Russ Hamilton
Rainbow
I guess, 1957. A very good year for rock n roll and these types of songs.

The original Platters with probably their greatest hit. Saw them perform this life in 1957, on the same program were Bill Haley and the Comets, 'Big' Joe Turner, La Verne Baker and Freddie Bell and the Bell Boys. greatest colncert I've ever seen!

Thanks, Dutchy and edgar for the "one hit wonder" and the platter songs. I know them and they bring back memories.

I especially enjoyed "The Bass Man"

Anyone remember "...I told the witch doctor I was in love with you..."?

Time for me to say goodnight, all, and since it this lady's birthday, it shall be my song for the evening.

As always,

From Letty with love

Good morning, WA2K radio audience.

I awoke this morning thinking of the beauty of a zephyr passing through the strings of a harp, and suddenly this song, one which I have never heard, surfaced from nowhere.

Good morning Letty

Oh, how lovely was that - it was very sad... but hopeful. Funny how that happens. It was just the sort of song I had in my heart this morning.

I found out yesterday my house is sold (which is all good) ... I will be in the new Chez Izzie within 2 weeks. 10 years of memories here....

The pic on the end of the VT - when wee Maddie disappeared it was around my little fellas birthday - I gave him a rescue pup from the local animal shelter (he needed a best friend) - we called the pup Maddie.

Oh.... reflective mood going on here. Need some happy music to help me pack boxes

Wishing you a wonderful day on the radio x

More synchronicity, Izzie. I felt the same way about my house in Virginia.

You're right, we need to energize, so here is one to get you going with the boxes.

HA Haven't heard this in a LONG time - I remember when it came out - we used to sing this with schoolmates!!!!

Izzie, you don't want to know what we sang in school. Noone seemed to have any imagination about music.

Here is another from South Pacific, all. I don't particularly care for "Sam and Janet evening", however.

Oh Letty - for some reason that made me think of this...

Do You Hear The People Sing - One Day More

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUCZywEwbvo&feature=related

which always gives me goosebumps and makes me shed a tear (pathetic a?) - it just has so much emotion and makes me a take deep breath in every time I hear it. To me - the best musical of all time...

oh......

Oh, my God, Izzie, that was fantastic. A song for all nations! Well, at least we have a lot of countries represented in that outpouring. Thank you, my dear; a wonderful cup of good cheer.

Time for a station break:

This is cyber station, WA2K radio.
