After You

I note that this thread turns 5 years old today. And, coincidentally, it was on 12/2/02 that I joined A2K.
A month or so I predicted that the thread would click over the 50,000 posts and 500,000 views today. That didn't quite happen, though.
Happy birthday, WA2K.

Just dropping by to leave something German - by David Bowie

On behalf of letty, let me thank you, rjb. I am real proud to be a part of it. letty is of course the soul of our radio station. We eagerly await her return.

Thanks, urs. letty is fond of Mr Bowie.

Well, it's good to be back home again, but the second memorial tribute to my Dave was wonderful.

Thanks to all of our contributors; although I cannot acknowledge each one I want to welcome McTag back with us and was surprised about the info on Luck Old Sun, y'all.


"That Lucky Old Sun" is a 1949 popular song with music by Beasley Smith and words by Haven Gillespie. Like "Old Man River", its lyrics contrast the toil and intense hardship of the singer's life with the obliviousness of the natural world.

The biggest hit version of the song was by Frankie Laine. This recording was released by Mercury Records as catalog number 5316. It first reached the Billboard magazine Best Seller chart on August 19, 1949 and lasted 22 weeks on the chart, peaking at #1.

RJB, Perhaps we'll hit 50,000 this month. Then we'll celebrate and dance to the music.

Urs, I did search out the English lyrics, but only got an important part, "...we can be heroes for just one day..." Yes, I love David Bowie. I think the first one I heard by him was Let's Spend the Night Together. I liked it, but just found out that the Rolling Stones did it first.

edgar, I need to check out your songs later as I have spent six hours in a car and that ain't fun. Thanks, Texas.

Our Izzie is such a dear and I always enjoy her contributions.

I would like to recommend this movie to all our listeners and contributors. It was excellent! Saw it on TCM.

Back in a few, y'all.

I have watched The Green Mile three times.

Our local DJ often called him Leftie Frizzle-frazzle. Here he is singing about the blue and gray.

Ah, edgar. I really like Leftie Frizzle, frazzled or not. That was a great one about Civil War/War between the States, buddy. Thanks. Will always remember him singing The Long Black Veil, however.

As for the Green Mile, I want to see it again as well.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I think I shall do so with two songs, y'all.

First a tribute to Mr. Monk.

For eight seasons, Tony Shalhoub has played Adrian Monk, a San Francisco-based detective whose obsessive-compulsive tendencies have annoyed his co-workers but helped him crack difficult cases. On Dec. 4 on USA, the 56-year-old actor will slip into Mr. Monk's tweed suit one last time to solve his final, and most important, case: discovering who killed his beloved wife, Trudy (guest star Melora Hardin), 12 years ago.

Now, since it is Maria Callas' birthday, here is a tribute to this marvelous diva.

Still from Letty with Love and good memories

My wife and I enjoyed the first few episodes of Monk. Then, they moved it off of the local free channel, so we never got to see it after that.

Bye Bye Blues.
Laters WA2K.

Good morning, WA2K folks. Tai and Barry the Brit, thanks for the welcome back.
edgar, really enjoyed that Louis Prima version of When You're Smiling, and as you know, I love Marty Robbins.

Hey, Brit. Loved all of your music but especially enjoyed Bye Bye Blues.

For the morning, y'all.

As I said, letty, you are the heart and soul of our little station.

Three Dog Night song - as always they are good.

My word, edgar, I love Heart and Soul. As kids, we used to do the duet bit. Had no idea that Hoagy wrote that one.Thanks, honey. I was beginning to think our wee cyber radio station had been the victim of a tornado.

Everywhere we look there are sounds of alarms. It's as though the world has been turned upside down.

Speaking of which, here's Coldplay with the same thought.

Good evening. I had plumbing problems today. They are resolved.
