WA2K Radio is now on the air

I missed the Beastmaster, letty.

Thanks, edgar, for the ID's. Did you recognize any of my other celebs, Texas?

Here's one by The Velvet Fog, folks.

Sure I did, letty. I am listening to Mel as I post. I love the guy, except when he scats.

Andy and Sammy....

Breezin'

I agree, edgar, don't much care for scat vocalizing. As I once observed, it is intended to imitate instruments.

Hey, Barry of England. Great song by two of the Rat Pack folks. Thanks, Brit.

Sad news, folks, for those of you who remember him:

LOS ANGELES " The son of James Whitmore says the versatile actor has died of lung cancer.
Steve Whitmore says his father was diagnosed with the disease a week before Thanksgiving and died Friday afternoon in his Malibu home.
"My father believed that family came before everything, that work was just a vehicle in which to provide for your family," said Steve Whitmore, who works as spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. "At the end, and in the last two and a half months of his life, he was surrounded by his family."
Whitmore was a many-faceted character actor who delivered strong performances in movies, television and especially the theater with his popular one-man shows about Harry Truman, Will Rogers and Theodore Roosevelt.
The Tony- and Emmy-winning actor, who was also nominated for an Oscar, was later known as the long-time pitchman for Miracle-Gro plant food.
Besides Steve Whitmore, James Whitmore is survived by his third wife, Noreen; sons James Jr. and Dan; and eight grandchildren.

His last role was in The Shawshank Redemption.

Here is how I remember him:

Time for me to say goodnight, and this great song by the Count is a memory unto itself, folks.

Tomorrow,

From Letty with love

James Whitmore ranks very high among my favored actors.

Love anything by the Count, letty.

Phil Collins

I was thinking about Allan Alda's portrayal of Hawkeye and came across this video.

Good morning, WA2K radio audience.

Why thank you, edgar. I have always loved St. Francis. Also loved that theme from MASH. Great show!



Hey, Brit. That song by Phil is one of my favorites. Love the chord changes, too. Thanks from an early riser in Florida.(you're right about the adaptation)

No sun yet, folks, but I love this one.

Morning Miss Letty, all the way from downunder something unusual, if not special. "Yothu Yindi" our most famous aboriginal band plays Djapana.

Chantay Savage

Welcome back, Dutchy, and you had me dancin' around to Djapana. Love it, downunderman. Thanks for the beginning of a new day.

Hey, Brit. That was a great version of I Will Survive by Chantay. Thanks again, Mr. Cockney.

Here's one that I love, folks, and it's a great one to match Dutchy's. Besides that, it's funny, and we all need a little fun in our lives, right? Hmmm, "Sang", UhOh!

Back in the 1960s, we had the Rolf Harris album and about played the grooves off of it. One song began:
I've got (clears throat) hair oil on me ears and me glasses slipping down
But baby I see through you
-I forget many lines, but it picks up on down -
I held you really close when we went on the floor
And we haven't danced since then
(spoken) I've had a really good time at the dance this ev- tonigh- er at the dance this evening. Tonight. Gee the music's nice. I don't suppose you'd like to have this one last dance? Heh. Just thought I'd ask

You know, edgar, I loved listening to vinyls that were funny. No matter how stressed a person was, they could always get a laugh listening to some of those old comedians. We had one by Jonathan Winters where he did Moby Dick; Green men from outer space, etc.

This probably wouldn't be humorous to kids today, but I still think it's good for a chuckle.
