(wow, congrats on 45,000 posts miss letty. ida left it for you iff'n Ida noticed aforehand.)

Good morning, WA2K folks

Great song by Cat/yusuf, Brit. I am sooooo glad he is back and playing that guitar and singing. He is still an awesome musician.

Hey, Rocky. I truly appreciate the different types of music that we play on our cyber radio. Love that one by Dumas Walker. Thanks! Hey, buddy, I am delighted that you hit the 45,000 mark.

Today is Tyrone Power's birthday, and I was stunned to find out that the man died when he was only 44.

edgar and I have discussed Eddy and Peter Duchin, and I had no idea that Tyrone did "The Eddie Duchin Story." Talk about lychrymose, this brief clip truly qualifies.

Wow! the air is truly heavy here. We need rain desperately, y'all.

I love that cvlip of Tyrone Power. I recently watched Power play Jesse James. Which leads me to this song about Jesse.

rock - the only song I heard by the Kentucky Headhunters previously, was Ballad of Davy Crockett.

edgar, I really enjoy that song about Jessee James. "...that dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard and laid poor Jesse in his grave.." I used to have a book that featured all of those ballads, Texas.

Well, today is Tammy Wynette's birthday, so here is a tribute to her.

The reason that hbg is not posting too much on the forum, is because he is "standing by his woman", who is ill.

For the hamburgers:

Now that made my eyes a bit misty.

Tyrone Power was one of the last of the matinee idols. One of his last and best performances was in Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises," with a realistic, boozy Errol Flynn (playing himself, really) and Ava Gardner. No clips of that, but here he is in another movie with bullfighting as the matador in "Blood and Sand" with Rita Hayworth (no, she's not playing the bull):

Perhaps the hamburgers would enjoy Scott Joplin this afternoon.

I loved Tyrone and Erroll and the kind of movies they made back then.

This is for Mrs. hamburger - schnelle gute Besserung! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmmjrNx3BRs

Thanks, Mr. Wizard, for Blood and Sand. You're right Tyrone was an idol. Wonder if they still have bull fights in Spain.

edgar, I bet the Hamburgers are listening as we speak. Nothing is more healing than music. Scott Joplin's ragtime also reminds me of my mom.

I have been searching, folks, for Tyrone Power movies, and he did do one called Captain from Castile. Here is the theme from that one.

Water music from Handel. I know that both hbg and the Mrs. will enjoy this one.

The movie "The Sun Also Rises" received good reviews at the time except pointing out that the actors were a little too long in the tooth to play the young, flawed protagonists in the novel. It was remade as a TV movie in the 80's, very badly as a cold fish interpretation of Hemingway.

Urs. Missed your wonderful and funny song and video for the Mrs. She'll love it.

and, of course, let's not forget Clio and Bailey. My domino was an American eskimo.

Wishing the hamburgers the very best from downunder, missing you hmb.

Oops, missed your bit about The Sun Also Rises. Can't find a trailer for it. Wasn't that movie something about Tyrone Power having been wounded which rendered him impotent?

My word, Mr. Wizard. Tyrone also did The Prince of Foxes and Zorro.

Ah, Dutchy, the perfect song for a perfect couple. Thanks, downunder man. Things are so easy to miss on our little cyber station.

Hi folks. I'll let hbg know that there's a little featurette tonight. I'm sure he'll be pleased and honoured.

He will be 79 tomorrow (is 79 where Dutchy is broadcasting from). Nothing like a radio dedication just in time for a birthday.

One of my favourite memories of hamburger's mother goes back to a visit to Hamburg when Oma was in her early 80's. hamburger was driving the rental, Oma and I were in the back seat, and she was singing one of my favourite songs from when I was a kid

(the song)

(the setting)


I had no idea that Oma's could be so bawdy

I started a thread about this video yesterday.

ehBeth, those songs were great, and your Oma must have been a talented lady. We all become stunned when some older member of our family becomes bawdy. I will never forget the shock of hearing my straight laced grandmother say to my cousin and me when we put on our lipstick.

"Wipe that off your lips. Looks like a chicken's ass at poke berry time."

Jes, I love that tribute from around the world for those in need in South Africa. I especially like the song, Stand by Me. Thanks, gal.

edgar, I missed that. Will check it out tomorrow.

This has been a wonderful day on WAeK. Thank you all. Thinking about my son as well.

Something my daughter sent me to lighten up the descending dusk.

I became confused when I heard the word 'service' used with these agencies.

Internal Revenue 'Service'
U.S. Postal 'Service'
Telephone 'Service'
Cable TV 'Service'
Civil 'Service'
State, City, County & Public 'Service'
Customer 'Service'

This is not what I thought 'service' meant.

But today, I overheard two farmers talking and one of them said he had hired a bull to 'service' a few of his cows.
BAM!!! It all came into focus. Now I understand what all those agencies are doing for us.

You are now as enlightened as I am.

Back later with my goodnight song. We'll all sing happy birthday to hbg tomorrow, then.

a tune for the hamburgers

the line, "you and i have memories, longer than the road that stretches out ahead", just sounds so much like them

a trifecta from the magnetic fields
