Laters WA2K

Good morning, WA2K radio folks. edgar, thanks for the explanation about "lead making' and The Kansas City Star. Learn something new every day on WA2K.

Sheeeeze, Internet Explorer keeps high jacking YouTube. Sorry about that, y'all.

Hey, dj (Mr. Fixit) Welcome back! Love those two songs by the Pogues. Yep, guess the Irish working on the railroad in England was a rather tough assignment. Love it, cause it reminded me that my daddy worked for the railroad for a long time. Thanks, Canada, you're a man of many talents.

Hey, Brit. Loved all of your soul music, especially Joe Williams and the Duke, buddy. Quite interested in Charlie Pride's Lonely Weekend, 'cause I know that you're gonna have fun at Hyde Park in England. Strange, 'cause FDR's home in Hyde Park is located in New York. Love all the synchronicity, y'all.

Never think of Greg Peck that I don't recall our Raggedyaggie. Nothing from her; Nothing from the yitwails. Thank God the squirrel and the moose are all right.

Wow! If I missed anyone it's cause I awoke too early this morning. Air very heavy here and when I went to the garage to see what condition my air conditioner was in, I saw a snake that somewhat resembeled a coral one. Didn't take the time to check it out, however.

Today is George Michael's birthday and I love the group, WHAM.

Here's one by him, y'all.

Really don't care if I misspelled anything in our script. I'll blame it on the editor.

Today is Gary Crosby's birthday. In this duo with Sachmo, he sings about Lazybones.

I don't really know Wham's music, but that song was nice. letty.

Ah, Lazy Bones by Gary. Sounds like Bing, edgar. My gawd, folks, I just read that Bing's sons, Lindsay and Dennis, both took their own lives. I knew that Gary had written a book exposing his dad as a cruel man, but had no idea about the other two.

Today is George Orwell's birthday, y'all, and he wrote 1984 which seemed very prophetic about "Big Brother", etc. but I always preferred his Animal Farm. Let's listen and watch the trailer.

I'M SO EXCITED

Afternoon Letty, Edgar, Bazza & WA2K



Loved lazy bones - ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - fabulous.

Wishing everyone a good day - hope to be back later. xxxxxxxxxxx

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh Edgar.... this WHAM is from my teenage years. I was a mushy gushy person then too

Careless Whisper - WHAM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no1BJy58JxU

ahhhhhh.... makes me smile.... memories. Hairbrush in hand in those days pretending to sing into the mic.

Izzie, you are just the same as I am. A song often reflects your mood. Perfect one by The Pointer Sisters to show your excitement about the upcoming weekend, and that song, Careless Whisper by WHAM sent me to the archives. Dear John Candy. Didn't see the movie, but I recognized several of the actors. Thanks, hun.

Well, folks, today is Carly Simon's birthday, and this one was the first that I ever heard by her. First a little background.

You're So Vain" is a song written and performed by Carly Simon, released in December 1972.
The song is a critical profile of a self-absorbed lover. The song was a number-one hit (it topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks in early 1973, and also spent two weeks at the top of the Adult Contemporary chart, her first #1 song on either chart). "You're So Vain" was Simon's breakthrough hit in the United Kingdom market, reaching #3 on the UK chart on its original release in 1973. The song was re-released there in the spring of 1991 to cash in on its inclusion in a commercial for Dunlop Tyres, and came very close to making the UK top 40 a second time, peaking at #41.
The song spawned what many fans consider to be the biggest musical mystery of the era. There has been much debate over whom exactly the song is about. Popular guesses on the subject include Mick Jagger (who sang uncredited backing vocals on the song), Cat Stevens, Warren Beatty, Kris Kristofferson (with whom she had had brief relationships), the unfaithful fiancé William Donaldson and Simon's ex-husband, James Taylor, and even Simon's favorite cartoon character Daffy Duck (created by Warner Bros., once a sister company to Elektra Records). Stevens has never acknowledged this possibility.
The song listed at #72 on Billboard's Greatest Songs of All-Time "You're So Vain" was voted #216 in RIAA's Songs of the Century.

Here's Carly, y'all

My first wife often told me Carly's song was about me.

Well, Texas. Was she right?

Can't do Carly without doing James, folks.

The first on that I heard by J.T. and I sang it.

Another cryptic one, folks, and I believe that is Yo Yo Ma playing the cello

don't think that was the yoyo man, miss letty.

this is...

Oops, you got the right string, Letty, but the wrong Yo Yo. Thanks for the correction and that lovely song, Rock.

Some sad news folks. Farrah Fawcett has died at 62.

A tribute to an angel, folks.

All the Carlys and Wham and all, not to mention yo and James Taylor - Quite a roundup. I have been at the doc's office with my wife. She had a cortisone shot in the shoulder that had recent surgery.

This Willie song is in tribute to Farrah, Michael and Ed.

RIP

Glad Mrs. edgar is all right. Love that song by Willie, Texas. Glad that you started a thread about Farrah. So many people are on my mind right now.

dj, We like to remember Michael and his siblings the way they were. Glad you clued us in about his death, Canada. I would never have known. Still love his song, "Billie Jean is not My Lover".

Time for me to say goodnight, and I think we need something a little upbeat, y'all.

This one is for Barry the Brit. Now I know why he was a bit nervous.


The Village People.
