WA2K Radio is now on the air

When the ‘shrooms are cooking on the grill
And broccoli meets cheese in pie
Then peas will guide utensils
As clo-oves of garlic fry



This is the dawning of the Age of Asparagus
The Age of Asparagus
Asparagus! Asparagus!

Carrot halves and arties-choking
Simmer down with peppers smoking
Onions diced and car-melizing
Golden-browning bread is rising
Mystic herbal synthesizing
Is this sounding appetizing
Asparagus! Asparagus!

When legumes are spiced and crazy tricked
And basil leaves are steaming all night
Just please make sure they’re hand-picked
And ta-aste a green delight

Green Giant’s yawning in the Age of Asparagus
The Age of Asparagus
Asparagus! Asparagus!

PO-TA-TOES

More than perhaps any other Canadian performer in the pre-video era, Murray's success was a product of television. Seasoned by regional appearances in her teens, she moved easily into the limelight on national broadcasts beginning on her 21st birthday, and quickly established herself as a fan favourite with her solo spots on Singalong Jubilee until 1970, and Let's Go, CBC Halifax's pop music show, 1967-8. On 4 Oct 1970, she made her US national debut on The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour, on which she was a frequent guest until 1974. On 23 Oct 1970, CBC aired the first of many Anne Murray specials. Throughout the 1970s, Murray was a frequent guest on Canadian and US variety shows and other telecasts. Her 1988 Christmas special for the CBC attracted 4.2 million viewers and was also popular in reruns. In 2005, CBC broadcast a career retrospective, featuring commentary by Murray and highlights from many of her television appearances.
