WA2K Radio is now on the air

Wow! Fantastic, edgar. How did the editor of Rolling Stones get by with that? Love the visuals, buddy.

Today is Peggy Lipton's birthday. Anyone remember Mod Squad?

Here's a tribute to her and a follow up from wikipedia.

and some background on the lady.

Peggy also recorded this song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JC9b6SjVUtU
I played this for rock, but found it so poignant decided to play it here also.

ah, edgar, Peggy's Golden Throats was lovely. I was so surprised to read that she dated Elvis and had a tryst with Paul McCartney. And the real stunner was that she married Quincy Jones. What a performer that guy was, Texas.

Loved that Bob Dylan song as well. When Bob does his thing with acoustic guitar, there's nothing better. Is it true that "Like a Rolling Stone" was considered to be the no 1 song for years?

Remember Sanford and Son?(I believe it was called Steptoe and Son in England) Quincy did the theme for that one, folks.

Let's listen, shall we?

I still catch an occasional rerun of Sanford. Good show. I remember reading about Peg and Quince quite a few years back.

Like a Rolling Stone was the quintessential, the breakthrough, the whatever - for Bob and rock music. Frankly, I do love it, but he has dozens of songs I like much more.

Thanks again, edgar. You certainly are a fan of Bob's which I have become recently.(minus harmonica, of course.)

Well, today is Mary Shelley's birthday, folks, and for those of us who know and love her, here is a brief background on her life.


Mary Shelley (née Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin; 30 August 1797 " 1 February 1851) was a British novelist, short story writer, dramatist, essayist, biographer, and travel writer, best known for her Gothic novel Frankenstein: or, The Modern Prometheus (1818). She also edited and promoted the works of her husband, the Romantic poet and philosopher Percy Bysshe Shelley. Her father was the political philosopher William Godwin, and her mother was the philosopher and feminist Mary Wollstonecraft.

When I was at the super market today, they had halloween stuff displayed. Sheeze, and after halloween, Christmas will be next.

A tribute to Mary.

Frankenstein wa a truly original story. I don't know how she did it.

I got a love song by Cure. Acoustic version.

Wow! That song by Cure was awesome. Had to check them out, edgar, and it seems they were a goth type group from England. Love the acoustic guitar, of course, and the minor key was reflective of a love gone wrong. Thanks for the introduction.

Here's a lovely one by Three Dog Night, y'all. It's a peaceful song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfzzOiuoGCc&feature=related

I didn't know that 3 Dog song, letty
Time to relax in the Land of the Sea and Sun -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjWPRQe4FmI

Ah, edgar, love that one by Harry, but if I get any more sun here, "....I'll fall in to the sere; the yellow leaf..." MacBeth, incidentally.

Thank you so much for keeping our wee cyber radio on the air. It has taken my mind off the plight of my son.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I think this one reflects the Four Freshmen's influence. Also a fragment of Percy Shelley, folks.

Perhaps many of you do not remember Capucine. A lovely woman who gave up her life.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNCLZr6ir5w&feature=related

Fragment to the Moon
Art thou pale for weariness
Of climbing Heaven, and gazing on the earth,
Wandering companionless
Among the stars that have a different birth,--
And ever changing, like a joyless eye
That finds no object worth its constancy?

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Goodnight, all.

From Letty with love

I like the Lettermen, letty. Didn't know the song.
David Gray requests Sail Away With Me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4skx5D0PpbI

Good morning, WA2K and edgar. Never heard David Gray, Texas, but I really liked Sail Away With Me.

Here's another by him, folks, and then one by Van Morrison since it is his birthday.

First, David.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjy3jWLz4Fk&feature=related

Hard to believe that this is the last day of August, so here's one by Van

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjmO7jJaOvk&feature=channel

David is new to me also, letty. I came late to appreciate Van Morrison, but I listen to him now.
It's still hot dry summer here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JN_JxnKCtUs

edgar, sorry that I can only hear part of your song. It must be the equipment in my wee studio.

Today is Itzhak Perlman's birthday, and he is best remembered for his theme to Schindler's list. Going to try and play it, folks. Wish me luck.

Nope! not working. Back later

Hope it works this time, y'all.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlkxrGGNg10

Yes, the picture and sound is very good letty.

Yo Yo Ma
I did not fully appreciate the man until recently.

edgar, Yo-Yo Ma is indeed breathtaking. Did you notice how he got into his performance? Love the cello and that concerto was inspiring. He even plucked the strings to come up with a musical moment. Thanks, Texas, and I heard every bit of it.

Well, this may be a bit of a come down, but today is Richard Gere's birthday, and I really liked him in Pretty Woman, and All That jazz.

Daughter made it to Tennessee all right, and at the moment, things are fine.

Glad to see that our Brit is fine. Always miss his contributions and his apple climbing.

I like some of Gere's movies.
I got Latency with Tonight I Love You
