@edgarblythe,
Wow! Love that guy, edgar. Never heard him before. Michael Buble did that song as well.
Well, folks, it seems as though we're "keeping up with the Joneses" today on WA2K.
a quick correction. It was Adam Duritz's birthday. He's the lead singer with Countin Crows.
How about a little Jonah Jones, then.
Cigarettes and champagne and wild, wild women.

In this song, dylan's mr jones gets mentioned. Caution: It is an unhappy song and some may decide to skip it.

@Letty,
I'm a big Robert Cray fan, Miss Letty. I'm happy to help celebrate his birthday.
Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark

edgar, that song by all four Beatles was sad, but I think everyone should listen to it, Texas. "...and sooneth our best men/women with thee do go, rest of their bones and soul's delivery.." Know what that's from, Texas?
Miss squirrel, Welcome back. Great song, Chicago. Boy, when I was little I WAS afraid of the dark, and everything else. That Cray man is indeed a fantastic singer.
Speaking of animals, y'all, today is Herman Melville's birthday. Here's a brief version of his most celebrated allegory.

@JPB,
Hey, gal. John Cray is worth hearing two or three times, and he's right, of course. (funny that scene where that guy got doused with water for lookin' too much)
Well, folks, today is Jerry Garcia's birthday, so here is one by him and the grateful ones.

@Letty,
I believe that poem to be Donne. I must confess, I only know parts of his works.
@edgarblythe,
and I must confess as well, edgar. I am only familiar with Donne's two glorious creations, Death Be Not Proud and his excerpt No Man is an Island.
Well, folks, this may be a bit of history day on WA2K.
Today is William Clark's birthday, and I suspect that most of us know of the Lewis and Clark expeditions, but this woman is shrouded in mystery.

Rave on john donne, rave on thy holy fool
Down through the weeks of ages
In the moss borne dark dank pools
Rave on, down through the industrial revolution
Empiricism, atomic and nuclear age
Rave on down through time and space down through the corridors
Rave on words on printed page
Rave on, you left us infinity
And well pressed pages torn to fade
Drive on with wild abandon
Uptempo, frenzied heels
Rave on, walt whitman, nose down in wet grass
Rave on fill the senses
On natures bright green shady path
Rave on omar khayyam, rave on kahlil gibran
Oh, what sweet wine we drinketh
The celebration will be held
We will partake the wine and break the holy bread
Rave on let a man come out of ireland
Rave on on mr. yeats,
Rave on down through the holy rosey cross
Rave on down through theosophy, and the golden dawn
Rave on through the writing of a vision
Rave on, rave on, rave on, rave on, rave on, rave on
Rave on john donne, rave on thy holy fool
Down through the weeks of ages
In the moss borne dark dank pools
Rave on, down though the industrial revolution
Empiricism, atomic and nuclear age
Rave on words on printed page
@dyslexia,
Rave on dys. We still know thee to be a holy man.
Let's listen to this Van Morrison song, folks. He's singing about love.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I think we all could use a little comfort music.
This one is different, but lovely, folks.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5l96u9TIzY&feature=related
Sorry, something is wrong with my equipment, but I'll try again.
Better say goodnight while I can.

From Letty with love and a sigh
It's far beyond the sunset now, letty. I just watched Will Smith in I Am Legend. Movies that allow a good dog to die always get to me. (choke. sniff.)
Well, here is my good night offering. See ya in the morning, wa2k.

These guys were at Rock of Ages in Seebronn yesterday - they look a bit older but the song is still great...

Mother's Finest was playing when we got to Seebronn yesterday afternoon...

Good morning, WA2K radio.
edgar, loved your goodnight song by Hank. Never heard Mansion on the Hill. He was quite a poet. Just had a fight with AT&T last evening.
Hey, Rock. That song by Billy Joel was awesome. Hmmm, James. wonder who he was singing that for, Kansas? Thanks.
Wow! Rex, welcome back and thanks for The Wizard. Hope all in well in lobster land. I especially liked the line, "..the voices in our heart...".
Urs, you and that Swede of yours get to hear the greatest performances. Really enjoyed Dread Lock Holiday by 10cc. Baby Love was great as well.
Today is James Baldwin's birthday, y'all, so here is a brief tribute to him. What a writer, folks.

Joan Baez
@Barry The Mod,
Afternoon, Brit. I love Diamonds and Rust by Joan. I always thought that she and Bob Dylan were an item.
Musicianers are "sometimes" people, I guess.
Joan and Bob, y'all.
