WA2K Radio is now on the air

the beautiful south wrote many fine songs, but the also covered some greats

The Beautiful South - Artificial Flowers

The Beautiful South - You Just Can't Smile It Away

Raggedy, thank you for the Walt Disney memories, and I love Donkey Serenade, PA.

dj, welcome back, buddy. Artificial Flowers was rather sad, Canada, and I think You Just Can't Smile it away is very true. Thanks you, too.

Well, time for me to say goodnight, and I think that I will let Nat do it for me.

Buzz Clifford
novelty song from the early 60s

Good morning, WA2K radio audience.

Rock, that was a fabulous jazz version of Paper Moon. Thanks, buddy, and let's hope this weekend will be great for everyone. I have a house full of guests today including a dog.

edgar, that little novelty song was delightful. Ah, those baby sounds bring back some memories, right?

It seems that today is the birthday of a Byrd, so let's hear a very familiar one by him.

this she say that? twouldn't surprise me if she did, but to me that's not much different from saying only white folk can play baroque. regardless, Love me or leave me was nice. :wink:

Hee, hee. Well, honu, don't peek and tell me what color this Frenchman is.

Baroque Hoedown?

er, red, white, and blue? he certainly has the knack of making 2:23 seem a *lot* longer. it's amusing, but wouldn't want to hear it more than 1x or 2x a year. based on all those comments on youtube, i guess it's the music to main street electrical parade, but it's been a long time since i visited the house the mouse built.

Hey, big island man. Your sense of humor is shinning through. You're right, however. The moog synthesizer was terrible.

Good morning WA2K.

A few of today's BD celebrities: Vikki Carr (67); Brian May (Queen)(61) and Anthony Edwards (46).

Have a great day!

This is probably Vickie Carr's biggest record.

This is in a similar vein to your switched on Bach, Letty.

Today is also the birthday of the artist, Edgar Degas. When I think of Degas, I am immediately reminded of his sculptures and paintings of ballet dancers. So, this clip, with two of the very best, is for him.

Lately I was thinking about this song, written by Pete Seeger and just wanted to hear it again.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=aNopQq5lWqQ&feature=related


And, after listening to that one, I wanted to hear this one, particularly with this guest singer.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Pum6MtyC3NA&feature=related

I think if this number doesn't leave you in an upbeat mood you must be lacking a pulse.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=rkYQ6SD4efA

I have to add this one by Belafonte
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fwueuaKkAE8&feature=related

I haved always loved that man, edgar. That's a lovely song.

I first became aware of Ladysmith Black Mambazo when I saw them in live performance with Belafonte. I particularly like this version of this song with the Mint Juleps.

When my house guests depart, I shall be back to recognize each contributor. I love the variety that we hear on our cyber radio.

I like that one by Vikki, edgar, but this is my favorite.

firefly, that Vivaldi combination was not too bad. Thanks, dear. JPB loves Vivaldi. (don't know if she would like that one, however)

Your Degas reminded me of Monet's impressions of Notre Dame. Alas, I cannot find the one that I sought.

Incidentally, for a wild moment I thought that edgar was going to play Little Jimmy Dickens' Just a plain old Country Boy.

Did you notice there is a video that mistakenly credits Belafonte with The Lion Sleeps Tonight, which Niel Sedaka and the Tokens did?
