Hope you had a special day

Good morning, WA2K radio listeners and contributors.

Sorry if I cannot acknowledge all the marvelous music played here on our wee cyber radio, but I do want to wish our Urs and belated birthday. What a gal, folks.

Happy Birthday. It may be a day late but keep on celebrating! Can't seem to do the color nor size thing, but you understand, I'm certain.

Fascinated with cryptic Cohen, folks, so I shall include his version of "Famous Blue Raincoat" and a tribute to Andy Gibbs whose birthday is today.

First, Andy

Enjoy

Ah, Barry of Britain, thank you and perhaps later I will certainly do what I can. It has been a long several days in Virginia, and I need to land on my feet first.

I met some polar bear Brits at the inn where I stayed, and it was 40 degrees and they were doing the spa bit in brief swimming costumes. When I commented on their ability to withstand the cold and still survive, they remarked.

Hey, this is like summer in London.

Here's another Manhattan song, y'all.

Good morning. Moe Bandy sings for us this morning. Thanks for all the Cohen music. And Gibb.

edgar, "Too Old to Die Young" was great. Never heard of Moe Bandy nor the song he sang, but that is what's great about our cyber radio.

Strange, the History Mysteries forum was bumped up and I immediately thought of this one, y'all.

Hmmm, it seems that our radio has gone down with the RMS.

Knew all of your songs, edgar, except Snowy White from the Isle of Wight.

Well, folks, time for me to say goodnight, and I am really surprised to learn how many people sang You Don't Know What Love is.

Here is a quiet jazz instrumental of that same song.

Perhaps tomorrow will be better.

From Letty with love

I watched the Titanic video earlier letty. I got caught up in a few otherr things tonight and just didn't get back. You Don't Know What Love Is is a fine song.

This recording by Floyd Tillman may strike the modern listener as inept, but he was a strong influence over many artists, and he wrote a number of hit songs.

Good morning, WA2K folks.

Hey, Barry the Brit. All of your music was wonderful, but I think this one touched a nerve.

Melody Gardot is an American jazz singer and musician in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Born in 1982, she was disabled at 19, after being struck by a car while riding her bicycle. This event, though tragic, led to her recognition as a remarkable musician.

Her musical beginning was prompted by a tending physician who was concerned with her cognitive impairment as a result of head injury sustained in the accident. He believed music would help her brain injury drastically improve, as it has been known to show remarkable results in improving peoples' cognitive ability after such trauma. It helps by rebuilding the pathways within the brain which are necessary for recalling data (specifically in the areas of Memory, Calculating Data, Executive Functioning Skills, etc.).[citation needed]

Speaking from British Columbia, Katherine Wright of the Music Therapy Association explains, "Music enables a person to reminisce and reconnect with her sense of identity. Songwriting is an excellent tool to use when working on concentration and other cognitive issues."

edgar, Loved your Alamo song by Marty. Thanks, Texas and here is one by the Mills Brothers that matches yours.

If I missed acknowledging anyone, blame it on the gray dawn

Hey Letty, Edgar, Bazza et al WA2K

so sorry not to have been here for a little bit - think of you all tho - I'm all over the place right now - good stuff - just not enough hours in the days (hard to imagine considering I am housebound a?) - the days pass by so quickly and I'm up for at least 18hrs a day! Strange. Time warp - HA!

so.............. not got a tune but am llllllllalalalllallalallalallalallallllllllllllaing and wishing everyone a great day and I WILL be back later.

Hugs Letty..... big hugs to you girl and to all here. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thank you all! Your were right on time - my birthday is March 5. And now I am listening to U2's Dancing Queen. How cool is that??!!! Thanks, Barry!

Ah, Izzie, you don't need a tune to be here. Just the warmth of your salutation is quite enough.

Urs, so glad that you liked U2's Dancing Girl. You do realize that our Izzie started a birthday salute for you, right?
First a tribute to Elizabeth Barrett Browning whose birthday is today.

Sonnet from the Portuguese. (Robert's pet name for Elizabeth)


How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

Next, folks, a song inspired by edgar's Alamo by Marty Robbins. What interesting things we discover on our cyber radio.
