WA2K Radio is now on the air

Oh yeah. Clint's been around a long time. He has a good way with a song. I just don't listen to him very much. I've got some pips tonight. A song I had not heard in some time.

Also like Dwight Yoakum, who in turn is a big fan of Buck Owens.

edgar, I had forgotten about The Pips. Here's one to match yours, Texas.

And another to go with Dwight and Buck

That Buck and Dwight song is one of my very favorites, letty. And Midnight Train by the Pips is another. I have the songs playing as I post.

Good evening Miss Letty and edgar.

I've been listening to some "old" Troy (Trombone Shorty) Andrews and some more recent stuff. Here's one from 2001 when he was 14

Mahogany Hall Stomp

JPB, welcome back. Loved your Mahogany Hall Stomp. Great Dixieland, and your tribute to Troy Andrews was inspiring. Tell me, was that Brandon Lee the same one that did The Crow?

Well, here's the dys back and doing Stevie Ray Vaughn's Little Wing. Loved it, cowboy.

Time for me to say goodnight, y'all, and this one is a tribute to my daughter. edgar and I share more than just music.

As always,

From Letty with love

The Smothers Brothers once did He Ain't Heavy on their TV show. They were discussing some person within the Nixon or Johnson administaration. Tommy says, "He's ain't heavy; he ain't my brother." They then performed the song.

Morning, WA2K folks.

edgar, As I observed, The Smothers Brothers were not only funny but excellent musicians.

It is COLD here in Florida, and putting an overload on the power grid. Who would think that we would have to worry about that in February.

Thinking about St. Valentine's Day and here is one by Chet Baker. What a sad life and unfortunate end to a fine musician, folks.

If you were wondering why Beyoncé and not Etta James was asked to serenade the president and first lady with "At Last" during their first dance at an inauguration ball on Jan. 20, you're not alone.

Etta, 71, whom Beyoncé went blonde to portray in last year's "Cadillac Records," is wondering the same thing, and she candidly expressed her displeasure during a concert stop in Seattle last week.

"You guys know your president, right?" she asked the crowd amid cheers (listen to it here. "You know the one with the big ears? Wait a minute, he ain't my president, he might be yours, he ain't my president. You know that woman he had singing for him, singing my song -- she's gonna get her a-- whipped. The great Beyoncé ... But I can't stand Beyoncé. She has no business up there, singing up there on a big ol' president day ... singing my song that I've been singing forever."

That was a good version of Funny Valentine.

Amazing about Beyonce and Etta, edgar. Ah, well, musicians can be cut throat at time.

I like this version of At Last. (you proviced a yin for my yang.)

Etta

Barry the Brit, Welcome back, buddy. You probably missed Beyonce's tribute to Etta James. That is what makes edgar's remark so bewildering.

Here's a song for all you people who are shivering out there today.That includes me.

When I heard this aria from Faust on station WA2K not too long ago, Letty, it made me think of the first time I heard Jussi Bjorling.

Wishing all a pleasant day.

I love John Carradine. Here he is in Grapes of Wrath.

letty, that elvis/diana song was pretty good. I've never spent much time listening to their music, but I like what I have heard.

Hey, blue one, thanks for the info and the sextet of famous faces. (loved your igloo) What a great voice Jussi has. Thanks for the Faust aria.

edgar, Marvelous clip from the Grapes of Wrath. Thanks, Texas.

Ah, Barbara Hershey. A hero in one movie, and a villain another.

I remember Barbara Hershey from a western TV series she did about an orphaned family moving out west. I don't remember the name of it though. I doubt there are any clips available from that show but here are the opening themes of a couple other westerns I used to watch back in the day...
