WA2K Radio is now on the air

Fabulous, y'all. So far we have had Canadians singing Aztec, Scottish dancing and singing, plain ol Brit and American speak, and now our Rock plays Native American flute of O Come O Come Emmanuel.

Time for a bit of Portugal, methinks.

The Dave Clark Five will be well remembered for this song if for no other reason.

I have gone through some of today's musical contributions - Right now I just need to sit and relax after a hard morning. Be back in a while.

Don't know that by The Dave Clark Five, edgar. Hmm, folks, tried to find Jerry Lee's "Just Because" with no luck. I am rather like you; been doin stuff that has me rather "tard" myself.

Well, This is Mel's song, but I was totally surprised at how wonderfully The Gaither Vocal Band does it.

The Christmas Song will be sung as long as Christmas exists, I suspect.

This is Bill Monroe, with a bit of history and then a song.

Listened to that one a couple of times, edgar. I know who Ralph and Bill are, but never heard Christmas Times aComin' . I like it.

Here's another one by the Gaither guys, y'all. This one makes me want to clap my hands and dance.

Gaithers are musical wonders -
My song is Merry Christmas Baby.

Dear Elvis, edgar. I really think things would have been different for him and Miss Monroe had they not been in the limelight so much. Like that Merry Christmas Baby song.

Here's a guy that I have really come to enjoy. Let's give a listen to David Bowie sing about his China girl. Have to get an Oriental into today's mis, folks.

That's a little less risque than David's, edgar. Great one by them Brothers. Thanks, buddy.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I think I shall do so with another Canuck.

Here's the talented Diana Krall, folks.

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.

Good morning, WA2K audience.

Rocky, I love China Grove by The Doobie Brothers. Thanks, Kansas.

tsar, Isn't Diana fabulous?

Hey, Brit. Glad you're on R&R. Chris De Burg is fabulous. Sent me to the archive again.


Chris de Burgh (born Christopher John Davison on 15 October 1948) is an Argentinian-born Irish singer-songwriter perhaps most famous for his 1986 love song "The Lady in Red". He does, however, write in a wide variety of genres, and is a trained instrumentalist.

Talk about eclectic ethnicity. I especially liked The Bells of Christmas, buddy, and Thea Gilmore's "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" was an oldie but goodie. Thanks, London.

Another great performer whose birthday is today, y'all. Now we have Sweden into our mix.

Thanks for the Jingle Jams, Brit. Hope you enjoy your time off.

Today is Arthur C.Clark's birthday, folks, and I think we may remember him best for "2001 a Space odyssey"

Sri Lankabhimanya Sir Arthur Charles Clarke, CBE, FRAS (16 December 1917 " 19 March 2008) was a British science fiction author, inventor, and futurist, most famous for the novel 2001: A Space Odyssey, written in collaboration with director Stanley Kubrick, a collaboration which also produced the film of the same name; and as a host and commentator in the British television series Mysterious World.

Clarke served in the Royal Air Force as a radar instructor and technician from 1941-1946, proposed satellite communication systems in 1945 which won him the Franklin Institute Stuart Ballantine Gold Medal in 1963. He was the chairman of the British Interplanetary Society from 1947-1950 and again in 1953.[6] Later, he helped fight for the preservation of lowland gorillas.

Clarke emigrated to Sri Lanka in 1956 largely to pursue his interest in scuba diving,[9] and lived there until his death. He was knighted by the British monarchy in 1998] and was awarded Sri Lanka's highest civil honour, Sri Lankabhimanya, in 2005

Strauss' music, Thus Spake Zarathustra, is the most recognizable from the movie.
