WA2K Radio is now on the air

Love this song by Barbra

By the Way :

By the way did I hear you say
If some night I seem too lonely
You would stay
Oh and by the way
Have I told you yet that only recently
He moved out on me
Took the towels we stole
From some motel in tennessee
He was gone long before he really left
I knew it ...
By the way he began to say:
Love takes time, I'm in a hurry
Anyway that's all yesterday
Let's get back to us
Why worry?
If you try calling by and by
Oh, and by the I thought I mention
You can't stay...
Neath the lights
You don't look a thing like he did
And it's time to play
It's another day
Why can't we make love fall
By the way?

"....knowing how way leads to way; two roads diverged in the woods, and I? I took the once less traveled by and that has made all the difference..."


-Words by Sammy Gallop and Music by Kurt Adams


I used to walk with you
Along the avenue
Our hearts were carefree and gay
How could I know I'd lose you
Somewhere along the way?

The friends we used to know
Would always smile "Hello"
No love like our love they'd say
Then love slipped through our fingers
Somewhere along the way

I should forget
But with the loneliness of night I start remembering ev'rything
You're gone and yet
There's still a feeling deep inside
That you will always be part of me

So now I look for you
Along the avenue
And as I wander I pray
That some day soon I'll find you
Somewhere along the way

I should forget
But with the loneliness of night I start remembering ev'rything
You're gone and yet
There's still a feeling deep inside
That you will always be part of me

So now I look for you
Along the avenue
And as I wander I pray
That some day soon I'll find you
Somewhere along the way
Somewhere along the way.

Nat Cole

The Way
Fastball

They made up their minds
And they started packing
They left before the sun came up that day
An exit to eternal summer slacking
But where were they going Without ever knowing the way?
They drank up the wine
And they got to talking
They now had more important things to say
And when the car broke down They started walking
Where were they going without ever knowing the way?

CHORUS:

Anyone could see The road that they walk on is paved in gold
And It's always summer, they'll never get cold
They'll Never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows Wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home
But they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happier there today , today

The children woke up
And they couldn't find 'em
They Left before the sun came up that day
They just drove off
And left it all behind 'em
But Where were they going Without ever knowing the way?

Anyone could see The road that they walk on is paved in gold
And It's always summer, they'll never get cold
They'll Never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows Wandering off somewhere
They Won't make it home
But they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happy there today , today (repeat)

dj, That is the most provocative song, right listeners? I'm not familiar with Fast Ball. Now I'm wondering who the "they" are.

For our audience and a divergence to complement dj's song:

'Is there anybody there?' said the Traveller,
Knocking on the moonlit door;
And his horse in the silence champed the grasses
Of the forest's ferny floor:
And a bird flew up out of the turret,
Above the Traveller's head
And he smote upon the door again a second time;
'Is there anybody there?' he said.
But no one descended to the Traveller;
No head from the leaf-fringed sill
Leaned over and looked into his grey eyes,
Where he stood perplexed and still.
But only a host of phantom listeners
That dwelt in the lone house then
Stood listening in the quiet of the moonlight
To that voice from the world of men:
Stood thronging the faint moonbeams on the dark stair,
That goes down to the empty hall,
Hearkening in an air stirred and shaken
By the lonely Traveller's call.
And he felt in his heart their strangeness,
Their stillness answering his cry,
While his horse moved, cropping the dark turf,
'Neath the starred and leafy sky;
For he suddenly smote on the door, even
Louder, and lifted his head:-
'Tell them I came, and no one answered,
That I kept my word,' he said.
Never the least stir made the listeners,
Though every word he spake
Fell echoing through the shadowiness of the still house
From the one man left awake:
Ay, they heard his foot upon the stirrup,
And the sound of iron on stone,
And how the silence surged softly backward,
When the plunging hoofs were gone.

-- Walter De La Mare

Anybody remember Fanny Brice from the radio? She was a grown woman, playing the precocious child, Baby Snooks.

I googled McTag's song.

Baby Snooks--Baby Snooks--Baby Snooks. Sheeeeze, edgar. Now I'll have to google your google and we'll all live together in a little googled house.

Hold on, listeners. Back to the archives.

Baby Snooks Show


FIRST BROADCAST: 29th February 1936 as part of The Ziegfield Follies of the Air LAST BROADCAST: 29th May 1951 CAST: Fanny Brice as Baby Snooks. Henley Stafford as Lancelot "Daddy" Higgins, Baby Snooks father. Lalive Brownell as "Mommy" Higgins (later played by Lois Corbet and Arlene Harris).Leone Ledoux as Snook's little brother Roberspierre. ANNOUNCERS: John Conte (late 30s and early 40s). Tobe Reed (1944-45), Harlow Willcox (mid to late 1940s), Dick Joy, Don Wilson and Ken Wilson. VOCALIST: Bob Graham MUSIC: Meredith Willson (37-44), Carmen Dragon. PRODUCER-DIRECTORS: Mann Holiner (early 1940s), Al Kaye (1944), Ted Bliss, Walter Bunker, Arthur Stander. WRITERS: Phil Rapp, Jess Oppenheimer, Everett Freeman, Bill Danch, Sid Dorfman, Arthur Stander, Robert Fisher. SOUND EFFECTS: Clark Casey, David Light. Baby Snooks became a character for Fanny Brice at some point in the early 30s, nobody seems to know exactly when. What is for sure is that by 1934 Fanny was appearing on-stage in her baby costume as part of the Follies show on Broadway. In 1936, at 45 years of age, she used this baby persona to great effect on the CBS show The Ziegfield Follies of the Air and a radio legend was born.

After various format and slot changes Snooks eventually got her very own show in 1944. Lalive Brownell took on the role of "Mommy" Higgins alongside the now well entrenched part of Lancelot "Daddy" Higgins played by Hanley Stafford. The half-an-hour slot was initially aired at 6:30pm on Sundays, but later to moved to an 8pm slot on Friday and then in Nov 1949 to an 8:30pm slot on Tuesday evenings.

edgar, I do remember Barbra in the movie about Flo Ziegfeld and his follies. She did a number in a wedding gown, and when she turned sideways she was pregnant. Funny girl?

I believe it was Funny Girl, although I have never watched one of her films.

edgar, You would like Prince of Tides. It was really the only movie that
I liked with Babs.

dj you've changed! Canada? Another one? Oh, my.

A Baby Snooks coloring book, listeners. Where is our colorbook?

You did? I apologise, I had to think of a fairly not-too-obvious line. But, quite a major song, you will agree I hope.

I'll encourage the others with another line from the same song:

"Rode that Greyhound smokin' into Raleigh"

Actually, I am not familiar with that one, McTag.

Hmmm. Don't want to cheat, folks? Sometimes it's neat.

Bumper stickers anyone?

Letty, I may try Prince of Tides one day. I love many of her songs (My Heart Belongs to Me in particular) but don't care to watch her act.

in the words of the bard


Hey, I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader....
I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber, or own a dogsled....
and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada,
although I'm certain they're really really nice.

I have a Prime Minister, not a president.
I speak English and French, not American.
And I pronounce it 'about', not 'a boot'.

I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack.
I believe in peace keeping, not policing,
diversity, not assimilation,
and that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal.
A toque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch,
and it is pronounced 'zed' not 'zee', 'zed' !!!!

Canada is the second largest landmass!
The first nation of hockey!
and the best part of North America

My name is Joe!!
And I am Canadian!!!

it's all true


right down to the name

okay, shakespeare didn't actually write that


i made that bit up
