WA2K Radio is now on the air

Allison and Ronnie make good music. Barry's songs are great also.
Good morning, radio folks.

Here is the one Jane Morgan song I recall from my teenage years.

I know Fascination, edgar, and just found out that a lot of folks did that song. Thanks, buddy.

Here's another surprise, y'all. Today is Slash's birthday. (what a name) and he is a member of Guns and Roses.

Let's listen, shall we?

Another afternoon session, y'all. Just saw where Whitney Houston is making a comeback. Inspired by her daughter, her new album will be out Sept. 1

Glad you're making a comeback, gal. Love this one by her

Whitney has always been a good performer. I only came late to appreciate Dolly Parton.

edgar, Was it you who told me that Dolly Parton originally sang, "I Will Always Love You?" I know that she wrote all the music from the movie Nine to Five.

Here is something intriguing, everyone. I see that it is Amalia Rodrigues' birthday. She is know as the Queen of Fado, which has different meanings. I will, however, call her a folk singer of Portugal.

I love to find new stuff for our wee cyber radio.

When Dolly was parting ways with Porter Wagoner, she wrote I will always love you to him, letty.

I am not sophisticated enough to know the differences between Spanish and Mexican music. Generally, I love both.

Here is my teen crush, Brenda Lee.

Wow, edgar. I did NOT know that about Dolly and Porter. Thanks, Texas.

I had to check out the differences in the Hispanic languages myself. I found this, y'all.

Portuguese and Spanish are among the most widely spoken languages in the world today. Although they are closely related, to the point of having a noticeable degree of mutual intelligibility, there are also important differences between them, which can pose difficulties for people acquainted with one of the languages who attempt to learn the other. Both are part of a broader group known as West Iberian, which contains also several minor languages or dialects with fewer speakers, all of which are mutually intelligible among themselves to some degree.

There are also some significant differences between Brazilian and European Portuguese as there are between between British and American English or Spanish Castillian and Castillian in Latin America and the United States. This article notes these differences below only where:

* Both Brazilian and European Portuguese differ not only from each other, but from Spanish as well
* Both Castillian and Latin American Castillian differ not only from each other, but also from Portuguese.
* Either Brazilian or European Portuguese differs from Spanish with syntax not possible in Spanish (while the other dialect does not)

Ah, I love that Brenda Lee song. Had no idea that she sang that. Thanks again.

Today is Michelle Williams birthday. (The one of Destiny's Child.) Here is one by her.

I was not familiar with Michelle Williams, letty. She is good.

Here is a novelty. John Belushi doing Joe Cocker.

edgar, that was funny. Love John Belushi and I noticed that Sublime is back with us.

Time for me to say goodnight, and here is another song that we have done before but I really like it. I especially like the way this bunch pronounces "dancing".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHkmLEhFq44

Well, sometimes I'm up; sometimes I'm down, but I will always say...

From Letty with love

Hi Letty!

I'm always amazed at where one of your links takes me eventually (and how much time has elapsed before I make my way back to A2K). We're heading north early tomorrow morning so this song is appropriate:

I like Dancing inthe Moonlight.
Here is a good night song, about Bill Tell, by some Georgians.

Ain't that peculiar
Laters WA2K

Good morning, WA2K radio folks.

Tai Chi, Welcome back and you may not have heard it, but I dedicated Baby Face by Little Richard to you, honey.

Never heard Sun Parlour before, but I think we all enjoyed Going North. Thanks.

edgar, Bell Tell was great. I had no idea about that song. Thanks, Texas.

Welcome back, Brit.

So Far Away by Dire Straits was great, and for a minute there, I thought you were going to do Carol King's version.

Love the "...out of Africa..." song. Very different, buddy, and, of course, Marvin Gaye was great as usual. Hate that you have to do the night shift tonight.

Today is Jennifer Lopez's birthday, so let's hear one by her, y'all.

Play it, Jen.

Another afterNOON session, y'all. This one dedicated to Ragman and his "Too Hot or Not..."

Cole porter jazz, folks.

Replete with lyrics

It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings
Just one of those things

It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Just one of those things

If we'd thought a bit about the end of it
When we started painting the town
We'd have been aware that our love affair
WAS TO HOT not to cool down

So good-bye, dear, and amen
Here's hoping we meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things
