Hey, M.D. Welcome back. Really surprised that you were not here for all that lovely Hawaiian music.

That was hilarious. I had no idea that Phyllis was a classical pianist. What was that selection that Kaye Ballard murdered? Thanks for the grin, honu.

How about a little hot jazz from Japan, then, and this one came under fire from his critics.

That was funny, Yitwail.

I was going to ask our P.D. what Phyllis was playing.

Letty's video brought this oldie to mind:

http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=5IGp5defTDk

I saw Bill Kinney and the Ink Spots on stage and they were great. He stretched the last notes of the songs for an eternity and the audience went wild, whooping and screaming the whole time. The same thing would happen when Slim Whitman performed. That bothered me because I couldn't hear the performer.

here's another pianist more recognized for her other talents:

I seem to remember that Phyllis Diller also played the harpsicord quite well.

The man with the burning piano was too much. and Raggedy's Ink Spots song was perfect.

On his birthday, here's Cagney doing Cohan doing Roosevelt

Raggedy, know that flaming song, and it was great, but Slim Whitman? Gal, ain't he the one that killed the martians?

honu, you got off the "hot to trot track" with Nina. She looked quite bored with My Baby Just Cares for Me, and I really like that song. Think she worked a littl Bach in there, however. Didn't care for that one, M.D.

Now the second one was what we like to hear. Good old gospel and that one had me toe tappin'.

Where in the world did all the expressions about torch songs, etc. originate?

Oops, there's firefly with George M. spoofin' FDR. Hey, James missed the long cigarette holder. Thanks, gal for the intermission.

I, however, will return to the flame thrower with some great jazz about an old flame, folks.

Slim didn't sing "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire", Letty, (at least I don't think so) but when he performed live, he held the high note (until the Martians came ), just like Bill Kinney.

Now imagine him holding the high note for as long as he can and you'll see what I mean.

All of this heat around here must mean only one thing

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

in a parallel universe, Ms. Simone would have been an acclaimed pianist specializing in Bach, but in this one she got sidetracked into a singing career, not that i mind the results. she started singing in clubs in order to pay for her Juilliard piano studies, you know. as to My Baby Just Cares for Me, it was probably the 10,000th time she sang it.

Raggedy, that yodeling was incredible.

Well, she didn't want to set the world on fire, but....

here's some polyester fueled heat

Before I acknowledge firefly doing the can can, I want to explain something to our puppy. We misunderstood each other, and as this cartoon shows...



I meant that you mentioned Slim and his sustaining high note, gal.

I liked the Heat Wave song, firefly. I know that one, but it was done by someone else, I think.

Well, well, honu. I did NOT know that about Nina. Thanks for the info on her classical background. It's difficult for a lot of folks to get accepted at Julliard.

firefly, I love that song, and it's perfect for the early evening. Frankly, I have been concerned about those fires in California.

Back later with more wonderful music, and I think this has been a festive day, smoke and all.

And he's too hot to handle

How about a little country to cool things down.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tuq7umIdjcQ&feature=related

or some Gregory Isaacs & Roots Radics

Somwhat in keeping with the pyromaniacal theme, I think I will leave you today with this classical piece.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tGA6bpscj8&feature=related

Goodnight, all.

Ah, what a wonderful day and evening. Thanks to all of you. What I love about our contributors here is that we can disagree without being disagreeable.

Thank you, dear Amigo for the seven smiles.

Thank you, dear Bob for the bio's

Thank you, dear edgar for the doo wop.

Thank you, dear firefly, for the country by Loretta.

Thank you, dear Raggedy for teaching us that Slim has a good side.

Thank you, dear honu for the reggae.

And finally, Thank you Igor for the Firebird.

and my goodnight song is by someone that I have never heard before.

one final phrrhic victory and a little levity. The burning BUSH just got censored by the speaker of the house, Pelosi.

Goodnight, to everyone, everywhere,

From Letty with love

You're welcome, Letty.

and a goodnight song to all:

Good night all.

Good morning, WA2K radio audience.

Hey, Raggedy and edgar. Thanks for Bing and Buffy. Love 'em both.

Hmmm, missed M.D.'s Heat Wave last evening. Thanks, honu, and your comment about polyester fueled heat was neat.

I think I shall begin the day with a kid that I don't know. I did a quick check and found that it was his birthday. So, folks, here is Jason Weaver.
