WA2K Radio is now on the air

And of course I have to end the day with a German song. I very much like the video, too. It shows you a bit what we looked like growing up in Germany in the sixties and seventies... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-p4ALnvkRQ

JPB, I cannot believe all those old TV themes. The Lawman (think his name was John Russell), played in Clint Eastwood's "Pale Horse; Pale Rider."

Everyone knows the Lone Ranger, gal, and Michael Landon died of pancreatic cancer just as my friend Bill did.

Yep, gal, we all watched a lot of TV. That's why some folks refer to it as "the boob tube." Now I only watch two or three shows. Saw the brand new Medium Monday night, and it was a surprise. Also saw a repeat of Without a Trace. Very sad story, incidentally.

Urs, I love Jim Croce. He looked so much like our broadcasting friend Santa Tomas e Lucas. A smile at your German song, my friend. Goodnight, honey.

I just saw Tim Holt's photo, and recalled this, folks. Bet our puppy knows it as well as our edgar.

There's a song called, "I looked for the treasure of Sierre Madre", but I cannot find it, y'all.

thanks for your message letty
the life of nick drake is such a sad tale, i saw a great documentary on him, and hav found the whole thing on youtube, i'll post it after this song


Nick Drake- Way to Blue

here's a documentary on the life of musician nick drake

A Skin Too Few 01

A Skin Too Few 02

A Skin Too Few 03

A Skin Too Few 04

there's a a few minutes missing off the end

dj, that is so tragic. What is it about creative geniuses that affects them that way?

What a talented young man, and how isolated unto himself. Reminds me of Chet Baker, in a way.

Thank you for that documentary of Nick Drake. I think everyone here can feel the sadness of his soul. I understand what it must be like to "...feel the music die..."

Well, it's time for me to say goodnight, and I think I'll do it with a Jim Croce song. He too must have been shy.

Buffalo Springfield's drummer - Dewy Martin? - has died.

Good morning. Thanks folks for Bob Marley and the other good music.

Wow, Barry the Brit. Didn't know there was a Ziggy Marley. Loved the song, and I agree with him that love is a great religion. Thanks, buddy.

Endy, welcome back. People were asking about you. Thanks for that one as well. It seems that this might be Marley day, y'all.

hey, edgar. Not familiar with the drummer on Buffalospringfield, but thanks for the heads up, Texas. Enjoyed that song, however.

Strange, Last night The Crow with Brandon Lee was on TV. This is gonna be one of those weird days, I guess.

Back later as I have a few things to work out with my equipment, folks.

I have the perfect video for Mamie VanDoren. Pay close attention to the names of her costars. There are several surprises.

Well, let's see, edgar. I recognized Mel Torme(the velvet fog), The Platters, and Paul Anka.

Great video, Texas, and thanks.

Speaking of animals, does anyone remember Rip Torn in this movie?
