WA2K Radio is now on the air

Just saying "hi", Letty. Been popping in and out all day and enjoying the music. Problem with YouTube is one thing leads to another and sometimes I forget to come back!

Tai, pop in anytime, gal. Listen, smile, be led astray, whatever.

Thinking of the Gershwins and their unbelievable talent, y'all.

I think our Izzie is here to stay, so here is one for her by Johnny.

Roberta will like this one, too and so will Letty.

Hope it works.

Good afternoon. I'm totally done in, but will be around this evening.

Ah, our edgar has fallen asleep and Letty must say goodnight, too.

My goodnight song is from Nelson Eddy who I just discovered died at the San Souci (without care) Hotel in Palm Beach, Florida.

Sing us to sleep with a serenade, Nelson.

Goodnight, all.

From Letty with love

Nelson Eddy reminded me of Willy Nelson which reminded me that I'm leaving early in the morning for my favorite place to be.

Have a good week Miss Letty. I'll be thinking of you.

Billy Joel and Garth Brooks
You May Be Right
Then again, you may be wrong.

song tag edgar: Garth Brooks And Huey Lewis

Workin For A Livin...
takin what they're givin

JPB, love that one by Willie. Wish I could go with you, gal.

edgar, Billy Joel is one of my favorites. Don't work too hard today, Texas.

Hey Brit. That is a most unusual piano by Jools Holland. Sounds more pure jazz than Dixieland.

Panz, Huey and Garth. What a duo. Yep, most folks have to work and can't find work these days.

How about a little more Dixieland, y'all.

This one is by Pete Fountain whose real name was quite a surprise.

Pierre Dewey LaFontaine, Jr. (born July 3, 1930), is a New Orleans clarinetist. According to a Belgian radio program ("La troisieme oreille", produced by Marc Danval), his name was originally Pierre de la Fontaine.

Here is an original by that Fountain man.

and the lyrics, folks.

Won't you come along with me
Down the Mississippi
we'll take a boat to the land of dreams
Steam down the river, on to New Orleans


The band's there to meet us
Old friends there to greet us
Where all the proud and elite folks meet
Heaven on earth, they call it Basin Street

Basin Street is the street
where the best folks always meet
in New Orleans, land of dreams
you'll never know how nice it seems,
or just how much it really means

Glad to be, oh yes-siree
Where welcome's free and dear to me
Where I can lose, lose my Basin Street Blues

Hope that I didn't miss anyone. A bit of an aftermath syndrome today

Hey ((((((((Letty)))))))))), Edgar, Bazza & the cyber radio world

Letty hun - thinking of you..

hugs Letty x

and to y'all xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ah, Izzie. I love that Irish River Dance. Thanks, hun.

Okay, here are a couple of different versions that I love.

First a montage of Wilson Pickett's version with an amusing twist. (no, not Chubby Checker)

and, of course, Monkey's. (no, not the Monkees)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnjSfekf5sk

Good one, panz. Izzie and letty's river dances - pretty neat.

The dancing chimps put me in mind of Mel Brooks. Which led me to this video of Fabio imitating Mel Brooks.

edgar, that fellow imitating Mel sounded like he was sneezing. He also made me a mite dizzy; speaking of which, today is Dizzy Gillespie's birthday.

Here's a great one by the trumpet man, y'all.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQYXn1DP38s&feature=fvw

Love the way he puffs those cheeks.

It's comin up on the hour and that means it's time for another One Hit Wonder

Baby Come Back-Player

Speaking of dizzy: When Disneyland was the new top rated TV program, we would try to watch it in my aunt's house, as we had no TV. Unless it was Davy Crocket, she would watch it a few minutes and then say, "No wonder they call it Dizzyland. I can't take any more of it" and promptly switch cannels.

Baby Come Back is a good one.
