Congratulations, letty.

Good night, a2k.

Good morning, WA2K folks.

Rock, Loved Roy and Pretty Woman. Great movie as well, buddy

The Kingston's trio's Tom Dooley was also wonderful. Sorta reminds me of The Big Bopper.

Til the White Rose Blooms again by Nana Mouskouri was fabulous. Never heard that one.

Yep, it looks as though we hit 50,000.

Thinking of Yeats today. He was one great poet and here is one of my favorites by him. Make us consider "the second coming", y'all.

Wonder what happed to hingehead? He liked music as well.

Okay, Mr Yeats.

Something Christmassy from Germany I went to a concert of this band - The BossHoss - on Friday. They did not play this song but it was a great concert...

Hey, Miss Izzie. Never much cared for Nina but You Know How I Feel is one of her better ones. Glad you're doing better, gal, and thanks

Urs, Welcome back. Love that BossHoss song. Never heard them, but they are great. Last Christmas was a combination of sad and upbeat. Thanks.

Well, today is Billy Bragg's birthday. Don't know him either but really like his spirit, y'all.

An Accident waiting to happen? My little corner of Virginia is in trouble. First the horrible snow storm; now the melting of it could cause flooding.

Ok, Brit. Tell us about it.

Felice Navidad

Well, things are looking good on our cyber radio. So far we've had an Irishman, Yeats; A combination of Irish/British, The Pogues; a black gal, Nina; another Brit, Billy Bragg; a German with a hoss that is boss, and our JPB is an American play an Hispanic song, Feliz Navidad. How about a fantastic Canadian singing about New Year's Eve.

This one was inspired by msolga's resolution revolution.

Here is Miriam Makeba

Yeats/lennon. Unusual combo.
Billy Bragg video - yeppers. Haven't had time to check any other videos as yet.

Ah, Mamma Africa, edgar. Love that one by her, Texas. Here is the chilling poem by Yeats which inspired the visuals.

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)

THE SECOND COMING

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

and now a lovely song by the children of Japan.

We don't need a translation on this one, 'cause we all know it methinks

urs' song and the one by the Pogues is quite good. Hearing that Gene Autrey song reminds me of the days when I listened to Gene's weekly radio show, with his sidekick, Pat Butram.

I like lots of Nina Simone's songs, and I have a soft spot for Japanese music, especially when they do songs we are familiar with in English.

Here is some Uriah Heep.

Wow! Uriah Heep's "Sympathy" is philosophy in a song. Love that, Texas.

I guess most of us know that the band took their name from the unctious and greedy Uriah Heep of Charles Dickens' David Copperfield, so here is a melody from that novel, folks.

I consider Dickens as fine a writer as Shakespeare. I once undertook to study his paragraphs and individual sentences, in hope it could improve my writing. But, he was so endlessly inventive, I soon concluded that his genius could not be learned. Either you have it or you don't.
