Good morning, WA2K radio audience.

edgar, Bobby's Sunday in New York was great. I recall having gone to Radio City Music Hall and seeing these gals.



My word, folks, had no idea that Johnny Cash did a song call Thunderball. It was supposed to be the theme to the James Bond movie and was axed at the last minute. Thanks, Rockman. Need to check that out.

Well, Barry the Brit is in bed so we can talk about him and he won't know. Do want to say that that Aretha is still the soul lady and enjoyed that live performance. You're right, however. Live music is always better than canned stuff. Enjoyed that Brit group Dr. Feelgood. Not familiar with them, but what an unusual song. "Riot in Cellblock No. 9" ? Guess those guys weren't feeling too good. My favorite of yours was the quartet of ladies that did a tribute to the Duke. Knew most of those songs, Mr. Cockney. Thanks!

Well, today is Trini Lopez's birthday. He did a lot of the oldies, folks. Here is one that I enjoy.

Hmmm. edgar might know if Harry did that one first.

Harry may or may not have recorded Lemon Tree. He made several albums after his popularity waned, which I never heard. I don't think he did. Peter Paul and Mary did it about the same time Trini had it.

Barry always comes in with some great music and information. Rock too.

Speaking of Harry, here is one from his Jump Up Calypso album.

Hey Ed,Harry did record Lemon Tree.See here for loadsa free Harry MP3 downloads....

Saw Belafonte at the Greek Theater in LA and there were more young people than older people. They all went wild when he went into doing the big hits.

Here's two major singing stars together who broke through the "black ceiling:"

Trini Lopez reminded me of all the Latin music I've loved since high school -- during the bossa nova wave, the favorite was, of course:

Feeling a little better now, y'all.

edgar, I love that animated calypso by Harry, and the woosh man has returned to give you some more of the man who did it right. Thanks to both of you.

Mr. Wizard, that is one of Harry's and Nat's funniest performances. Two wonderful musicians having fun. Thanks, buddy.

Inspired by that cockney, here is a beautiful jazz ballad by The Duke, folks.

So happy to know that our "Prince of Light" is all right.

Will listen to Sergio and Brazil 66 shortly, Wizard of Light.

Day Tripper? Amazing, but it was different by the Brazil bunch, L.W.

Here's one that I also enjoy by Sergio and the gals.

The first two record albums that went into my collection were Belafonte and Belafonte Sings of the Caribbean. That was in 1958. I bought all of them, until after Jump Up Calypso. I think this may be the point where he parted ways with RCA Victor. After that, I bought Belafonte on Campus and then Paradise in Gazankulu. I know there was one calypso album I missed, but I have no idea what else he recorded in between. If I had to cull my records, his would be the last to go.

Sergio has always been a good listen.

I was never a Marvin Gay fan, but I do like this song.

And, thanks to letty, Barry and the wiz. Good information to go with good music.

Hey, edgar. Thanks for the info on Harry. There is no one that knows him better than you, Texas.

Thanks for the ecology song by Marvin. I always liked I Heard it Through the Grapevine, and here's a funny commercial based on that song.

Today is Eddy Arnold's birthday, and this is a sad and final song by him, y'all. Hope we can all say what he sings when we approach the end.

I used to hear Eddy Arnold referred to as the Sinatra of country music. I always have liked him.

Those California raisen films and commercials were cute.
Well, here is one I haven't heard in some time.

I first heard Eddy when I was a kid and lived next door to a guy who played him all the time. He later became the president of a bank.

Here's something funny to lighten up the waning day, folks.

Did you know about the musical ability of a common house fly? It hums in the key of F



Descartes came up with some heavy mathematical stuff by observing one on the ceiling, and an old lady swallowed one. Two movies were made about this little insect, and here is one about him on the wall, folks.

Never underestimate the power of a fly.

And never underestimate the power of Rocky the moose, either, edgar.

Trivia: Which US state has no house flies?

Unless that was a joke, that would be Alaska.

And here ya go gang: "Dirty Dancing" geriatric style:
