WA2K Radio is now on the air

I like that song, letty. Well, I am at work. We don't have sound on this machine. See everyone later.

Okay, edgar. Later, Texas.

Today is Wynona Rider's birthday, folks, so let's continue with the halloween theme, shall we?

Good morning WA2K.

Some of today's birthdays:

Fanny Brice (1891-1951); Bill Maulden (Pulitzer Prize winning editorial cartoonist most famous for WWII cartoons depicting GIs' experiences)(1921-2003); Neal Hefti , jazz trumpeter, composer, arranger (1922-2008); Richard Dreyfuss (1947); Kate Jackson (1948); Rufus Sewell , English actor(1967) and Winona Ryder

Dreyfuss, Jackson, Sewell and Ryder:




Hope all is well soon, Letty.
And wishing all a pleasant day.

Good morning, PA. Thanks again for the info and the great montage.

Don't know about the music in the public school system now, but I hope the arts are still emphasized. Here's one from Richard Drefus and his attempt to help students learn how to appreciate music, folks.

Perhaps later, we can to one from Neal Hefti. I think we also need to emphasize jazz in our schools.

Oops, change "to" to "do". Sorry, folks, our editor has had a long, trying day.

Hear we go with Neal, folks. Jack Lemmon again.

Three Dog Night
This song was so huge in Corpus Christi when released - It played incessantly until I finally quit listening. But, lately, I like to hear it now and again.

been a while, hasn't it? i'm still hangin around case anyone wondered. found this really nice duet by 2 jazz greats & one time collaborators with the great Miles Davis, the instrumentalist of the last century in my estimation.

http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=8JKT671eQ3U

a little footnote: Joe Zawinul on the synthesizer first pays tribute to Miles by using a timbre similar to muted trumpet, then later on switches to a saxophone sound in tribute to Wayne Shorter, another Miles collaborator & longtime Zawinul colleague in the fusion band Weather Report.

Wow! M.D. Welcome back. It's magic, because Robert/Craven had a thread going about famous one liners from books, and farmerman did Moby Dick. Great jazz, buddy and I have never heard those guys, but they were awesome. Thanks for the explanation of the instrumentation, honu.

Here's one for you, and your great work on da big island.

Here is Jerry Lee Lewis with a Merle Haggard song.

why thank you, and Work Song is a most appropriate choice, since Zawinul was long time pianist with Cannonball, after starting out accompanying Dinah Washington. here's one more amazing performance, solo this time. picture quality's so-so, but playing is one of a kind. (tune by the way is O Grande Amor by Antonio Carlos "Tom" Jobim)

Well, edgar slipped in with Jerry Lee and "Break my Mind". Always like to hear that piano man play and sing, Texas. Thanks.

M.D. that was a most unusual sound as done by a solo vibe man ala Jobim. Really great.

Now this is unusual, folks, because we did Neal Hefti and his theme for the Odd Couple and he also did "Cute", so here is one by the jazz legend Lionel Hampton, doing that song on his vibes. Never heard him sing before and he is cool as well.

Letty, I just found your thread again.

didn't even know Cute had lyrics. Hamp great as always--he was a heck of a drummer, as well. here's another vibe man doing a "vocal": Latin great Cal Tjader.

Roger, Bless your heart. I knew this little radio station would be YOU one day

Nope, Not gonna do "Bad Moon Arising" . Don't want no lacanthropy this close to halloween, ratman.

M.D that was really, and I mean REALLY unusual. Loved it and this is definitely latin evening, all. I just recalled someone from Hawaii, Extra Medium, who moved to California. I called him cute. UhOh. Letty the psychic again.

Time for me to say goodnight and I think that I shall follow through with one we all know.

Gilberto and Jobim.

Goodnight, all.

From Letty with love

Good night, letty and all.
My parting song by Burl Ives.

Good morning, WA2K radio. edgar, your Burl Ives song reminded me of Johnny Mercer's "Accentuate the Positive". I guess we all need some rose colored glasses, Texas, and thanks.

Today is Harry Hamlin's birthday, y'all, so since last evening was Latin, how about a little Greek today.

From his movie, "Clash of the Titans", here's Perseus to the rescue.

Ah, Pegasus and Burgess and Laurence. But that poor damsel in distress looked a little more than puzzled about what she was doing in that scene, didn't she?

Some more birthdays:

John Adams (U.S. Pres. (1735-1826); Fyodor Dostoevsky, writer (1821-1881); Ezra Pound, Amer. poet (1885-1972); Ruth Hussey, actress (1911-2005); Louis Malle, director (1932-1995); Grace Slick (Jefferson Airplane (1939); Ed Lauter, actor (1940); Henry Winkler (1945); Charles Martin Smith, actor (1953) and Timothy B. Schmit (The Eagles), 1947

Grace Slick, Ed Lauter, Henry Winkler, Charles Martin Smith



Hope you all have a pleasant day.

Well, there's our Raggedy with a sage observation about the "damson in a dress" Another fond memory, folks.

Thanks, puppy, for the montage and the added info about other notables. UhOh, Ezra Pound. Ursula says that it is really snowing in her corner of Germany, and Ezra had a rather earthy observation in parody of this one

Sumer Is Icumen In

Svmer is icumen in
Lhude sing cuccu!
Groweþ sed and bloweþ med
and springþ þe wde nu.
Sing cuccu!

Awe bleteþ after lomb,
lhouþ after calue cu,
Bulluc sterteþ, bucke uerteþ.
Murie sing cuccu!
Cuccu, cuccu,
Wel singes þu cuccu.
ne swik þu nauer nu!

Ezra's observation was "Winter is icumen in loudly sing, GD."

Here's one from The Eagles with Timothy Schmit, folks.
