WA2K Radio is now on the air

Good morning. I thought Amy, by Bobby Darin might make a nice opening song.

Good morning, WA2K radio audience.

edgar, thanks for the morning song by Bobby. Never heard Amy, but it is lovely, Texas. Sorry about Ted Briggs as well. We need to remember all WWII vets.

My goodness, folks, our indigo puppy is back with a quintet of notables. Thanks, Pa. No one reminds us better than you do.

er, for some reason, Lion TamerX has apologized to Letty and Rockhead. Apology accepted intrepid one.

No song to match the famous, but here is one that greets the day.

Breaking news:
Doctors: No hamsters or exotic pets for young kids By LINDSEY TANNER, AP Medical Writer
1 hour, 51 minutes ago



CHICAGO - Warning: young children should not keep hedgehogs as pets " or hamsters, baby chicks, lizards and turtles, for that matter " because of risks for disease.

That's according to the nation's leading pediatricians' group in a new report about dangers from exotic animals.

Besides evidence that they can carry dangerous and sometimes potentially deadly germs, exotic pets may be more prone than cats and dogs to bite, scratch or claw " putting children younger than 5 particularly at risk, the report says.

Young children are vulnerable because of developing immune systems plus they often put their hands in their mouths.

The rest of the story, folks.

MMM MMM MMM MMM

Once there was this kid who
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white
He said that it was from when
The car had smashed so hard

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Once there was this girl who
Wouldn't go and change with the girls in the change room
But when they finally made her
They saw birthmarks all over her body
She couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just been there

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

But both girl and boy were glad
'Cause one kid had it worse than that

'Cause then there was this boy whose
Parents made him come directly home right after school
And when they went to their church
They shook and lurched all over the church floor
He couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just gone there

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Correction: (sp) Anastacia

Correction noted, Rex. I checked her on on the web and she has had some bad luck, but refuses to give up her career. That was a great song and she is a wonderful vocalist. Thanks for the introduction, Maine.

Couldn't find anyone suitable from the puppy's collage to play today, y'all, so here is one dedicated to a lovely lady.

Clyde McPhatter originated The Drifters. I prefered him as a solo artist, and as such this was his biggest song.

Well, edgar, your song by Clyde McPhatter inspired me to locate this one. My word, it was banned, but it's funny. Which one is Clyde, Texas?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqGBGtcadO4

Bill Brown is the guy of the deep voice on the Sixty Minute Man stuff. Clyde is doing backup, apparently. When he left there, Jackie Wilson applied for his vacant position. Asked, "Can you sing as well as Clyde?" Jackie answered, "I sing better."

Well, let's compare, folks.

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

Actually, I love both of them. Could not have a favorite.

Well, Texas. As far as voice quality goes, Bill Brown is better to me. I suspect it has to do with the mood.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I was thinking about how good the group, "Three Dog Night" is. They are still making appearances, y'all.

I particularly like this one and the name of it is "One".

So, doggies, let's hear it.

Thinking about all of you out there.

From Letty with love.

I woke up with Buddy Holly on the brain. Here he is with Learning the Game.

Good morning, WA2K radio audience and edgar.

I never learned that game, Texas, or refused to do so.

And, folks, I woke up this morning thinking of starman.

and a real surprise considering Al was 80 years old at the time - (Pavarotti's favorite aria)

For Joe Hill: (I was going to play either Paul Robeson (couldn't find it) or Joan Baez, but then I saw this one:

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

I hope you all have a good day.

Hey, puppy of blue. Thanks for the quartet of notables and some interesting facts about other celebs. You had to jog my memory on this one, PA.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_facVkyl8ts

Perhaps I can do the same for you with this one.

First and last verse of The Raggedy Man, folks.

O the Raggedy Man! He works fer Pa;
An' he's the goodest man ever you saw!
He comes to our house every day,
An' waters the horses, an' feeds 'em hay;
An' he opens the shed -- an' we all ist laugh
When he drives out our little old wobble-ly calf;
An' nen -- ef our hired girl says he can --
He milks the cow fer 'Lizabuth Ann. --
Ain't he a' awful good Raggedy Man?
Raggedy! Raggedy! Raggedy Man!

The Raggedy Man -- one time, when he
Wuz makin' a little bow-'n'-orry fer me,
Says "When you're big like your Pa is,
Air you go' to keep a fine store like his --
An' be a rich merchunt -- an' wear fine clothes? --
Er what air you go' to be, goodness knows?"
An' nen he laughed at 'Lizabuth Ann,
An' I says "'M go' to be a Raggedy Man! --
I'm ist go' to be a nice Raggedy Man!"
Raggedy! Raggedy! Raggedy Man!
