WA2K Radio is now on the air

Today is J.J. Johnson's birthday, and he did a great jazz version of "Just Friends", found it, but it was a mite too long so I chose Bobby Darin's version.

Come on folks. Don't make a good thread go bad. I really hated the slogan, "Don't Make a good boy go bad". As if I left my keys in the car an angel would become a devil.

One Bobby Darin song begets another, if I'm around.

My word, edgar. Had no idea that Bobby did Bill. Great song, Texas.

Your "begets" reminds me of the time that I decided I was going to read the Bible from beginning to end. I hit all those "begets" and decided against it.

Hey, folks, I did find this one by J.J. and Kai. Great jazz, too.

Good treatment of that song, letty. I thought to put a calypso by Belafonte this PM.

Harry was soooo talented, edgar. Love that one you played.

Here's my favorite, however.

Guess Whose Coming to Dinner was on the other night. Sorta reminded me of Crash, somehow.

Hope our Raggedy has her pc on the mend.

Sending out some Sarah Mclachlan to all the special folks here on WA2K

Love Sarah, Montana, and it's always nice to see you here on our wee cyber radio. That something that she does with her voice is special. Love it! and thanks.

Here's another Canuck that I love, y'all.

I have watched that video three or four times, letty.

Hank and Sarah, both very good. Hank Snow, I may have mentioned, was my Mom's favorite singer back when I was pretty small. Here is another Hank

edgar, I have no idea when I first heard Hank Snow. Must have been from my country cousins. Been searching for some clue, and the only thing that I can figure is that Home and Jethro did a parody on Movin On. Those guys were fabulous and truly great musicians.

Thanks for that one by Hank, Texas. Didn't Connie Francis do it as well?

Anyone here ever Limbo? and if Urs is listening, this one is squeaky clean.

Not sure how many artists did it, but Elvis had a moderate hit with it.

A little humor. 15 Beers Ago.
Ben Colder is of course Sheb Wooley, the actor and singer/writer of The Purple Eater.

Ah, I'm thinking about Everybody's Somebody's Fool, I guess. speaking of fools,

Remember playing this one, Texas? Still love it, however.

(I can still recall doing the limbo. I think I got down to the lowest pole, too.)

Back in a few to acknowledge Sheb.

this is not going to be to everyones liking, but it's a fave of mine, and intersting for the fact that the bass is basically the lead guitar


The Stranglers - Nice & Sleazy

must be my night to annoy

but i love this interpretation of this tune


The Stranglers - Walk On By

okay i'm gonna calm down a bit, here's one of the suggestions made on the CBC, for canadian songs for obama's ipod


Gordon Lightfoot - Canadian Railroad Trilogy

well it doesn't get much better than this



Gordon Lightfoot and Johnny Cash - For Lovin' Me

two more gord songs from johnny's show

Ribbon Of Darkness


Softly

dj, Welcome back. We have missed you here, honey. Annoy? I don't think so, Canada.

First, a comment on sheb and his funny fifteen beers. Loved it, Texas and thanks.

dj, I didn't quite get the first song by The Stranglers, but if you liked it, we like it.

My favorite by them was Walk on By. Great, and I mean GREAT

Of course, Johnny and Gordon were fabulous. I have always liked Gordon Lightfoot, buddy.

Also loved the turnaround on That's what I Get For Lovin' Me.

Ribbon of Darkness and Softly were perfect, but I think The Canadian Railroad touched my heart, 'cause my daddy was a railroad man.

Incidentally, dj. I read the Boys from Brazil by Levin. The ending was quite a surprise.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I'll dedicate this one to my daughter. Bud always called her "mangel"

Goodnight, everyone

From Letty with love
