WA2K Radio is now on the air

That wind song is mighty calm, compared to the wind around here.

Ah, but edgar. Quiet music may even calm the savage winds.

Liked your Liza and Joel song, buddy. Of course money often talks.

Elvis and Willie agree with you.

Bee Gees and Jerry Lee Lewis sing Money

I mostly listen to the beat of Jerry Lee and the Bee Gees on that one. Not one of us wants to be on a street corner with a tin cup saying, "Brother Can you Spare a Dime", but there is a sincere flip side to the situation, and here is Backstreet to do a different version of The Beatles' old song, folks.

I was looking for Jerry Lee's Sun recording of money, but had to settle for the Bee Gees thing. One last word on money, echoing your last:

How about something by Lady Day. Thinking about her recently, edgar.

Hey Letty & WA2K

Wishing you all well.

Alexandra Burke - Candyman

Welcome back, Izzie. I really love "Let's Face the Music and Dance." Diana Krall does that one as well. Robbie Williams is fabulous. It is so sad to me that people such as he have so many problems with their lives. I suppose it's the result of being in the spotlight constantly.

Not familiar with the X Factor nor Alexandra Burke, but she has a great voice.

Something a little different now, y'all. Here is a voice from out of the past; he is referred to as "the Tennessee Plowboy". Here is what one producer has said about Eddie Arnold and his stardom.

Reasons for success
From the beginning, Arnold stood out from his contemporaries in the world of country singers. He never wore gaudy, glittering outfits. He sang from his diaphragm, not through his nose and avoided honky-tonk themes, preferring songs that explored the intricacies of love.
Arnold also benefitted from his association with excellent musicians. The distinctive steel guitar of Roy Wiggins highlighted early recordings. Charles Grean, once employed by the Glenn Miller Orchestra, played bass and wrote early arrangements, adding violins for the first time in 1956. Chet Atkins played on many of Arnold's records, even after he began serving as producer.
Bassist Bob Moore, the most recorded musician in history[citation needed], first performed on the road with Arnold on the 1954 RCA Caravan and later performed on 75% of Arnold's hit recordings. Arnold also benefited from the management of Parker, who guided his first career, and Purcell, who masterminded the second.
The most important factor for Arnold's success, however, was his voice. Steve Sholes, who produced all of Arnold's early hits, called him a natural singer, comparing him to the likes of Bing Crosby and Enrico Caruso. Arnold worked hard perfecting his natural ability. A review of his musical career shows his progression from fledgling to polished performer.

sorry, dys. That didn't work for me.

Time for me to say goodnight, folks, and I think that I shall do an interesting combo. Victor Borge plays my favorite Schumann piece stippled with a bit of his wonderful humor.

Good morning, WA2K radio audience.

dys, that interesting Fleet Foxes song was worth the wait. Never heard them, but I enjoyed both the music and the lyrics.

Today is Roger Daltrey's birthday, and although I have never heard the man, he does a great job on an old Beatles' song.

It is also Nik Kershaw's birthday. Don't know him either, but this is a nice song, folks.

Glad to know that our animals are all right. The yitwails are fine but struggling as we all are.

Our puppy is ok as well, as is bull winkle and rocky.

dys, your song WAS worth the wait. Also, I like Nik Kershaw, someone I had not listened to before. Here is an excerpt from Story of Iceland, a pleasant listen for a Sunday morning.

Harry Belafonte
I don't have to tell you all how much I love and honor the man.

Very unusual, edgar. The minor key and the repetition was reflective of Iceland, methinks.

March is in like a lion here, so let's let Norway welcome the creature.

Oops, missed our puppy and Harry. Back later to correct my error.

Thanks, Raggedy for observing my change of avatar. I will explain later.
