WA2K Radio is now on the air

Wow, edgar -- that was great. I've never heard of Freddy Cole.

He explains himself here.

I'm not my brother, I'm me!

The first time I heard Freddie's voice, at least ten years ago, his record of You Are the Sunshine of My Life was playing on AM radio. I thought it was Nat, until I snapped: Nat died before that song was written. It took a few months, but I finally learned about Nat's little brother.

JPB, I didn't know that Robin and Barry were twins. Loved "Saved by the Bell", gal.Thanks, Chi.

Wow, edgar. Didn't know there was a Freddy, Jr. either, He sang I Loved You with a touch of Nat and nostalgia. Thanks for the introduction.

Izzie likes that Dancing Queen. That's why I played it.

Love this, folks



And here is one by The Eagles.

I remember when Merry Andrew said that he was the "new kid on the block".

And those eagles are for Mr. and Mrs. Dutchy

I just have to play something Christmassy!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9Cu-LRdtUI

That's the kind of singing I like from the Eagles, letty.
The song by urs is a nice one too.
Dr Hook -

Urs, I found a loose translation of Sarah Connors Christmas song. Welcome back, gal.

The forest sparkles like Christmas time
The Christ Child is coming soon

In the hearts its filled with grief and concerned with life's ways

Rejoice The Christ Child is coming soon
Soon it will be Christmas Eve.



edgar, I love When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman by Dr. Hook and The Medicine Show. Thanks, Texas.

When I was a kid, I always listened to Away in a Manger, y'all.

Here is the choral version.

Martin Luther wrote that for a cradle song, but I found the origin may have been from Saint Kilda.

My goodnight song is from Enya, y'all.

From Letty with love to you all.

Arnold Stang has died.

The St Kilda and the two Christmas songs - very nice.
Good morning, with George Strait
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrPyFBES7KA

Good morning, WA2K folks and edgar. Wow! I remember Top Cat, but had no idea that Mr. Stang had done the voice. Thanks for the tribute to the man, Texas.

George Strait is one great country singer, and I really enjoyed Stars on the Water. Thanks again.

Today is Ricky Martin's birthday, so here is one by him, y'all.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFL96T50XLg&feature=related

I know Ricky Martin's name. I know I am supposed to befamiliar with him. But - I forgot whatever it is I used to know. That said, this video is pretty good.

Three Angels

Well, edgar, the reason you don't know Ricky is because he won't be born until tomorrow.

I couldn't get them angels by Bob to sing, Texas.

Today is Eddie Vedder's birthday, so perhaps the group with Eddie and Pearl Jam will do better.

Vincent Price made this movie and I watched it many years ago,

That Eddie Vedder/ Neil Young video played very well, letty. It may have something to do with your computer, as I went back and started the Angels and Vincent videos by way of testing them.

Thanks, edgar. It may have to do with the age of the video.

More angels, y'all

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3q9vU4_IyHE&feature=related

and, the lyrics
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.

Refrain

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?

Refrain

Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ Whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

Refrain

See Him in a manger laid,
Whom the choirs of angels praise;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While our hearts in love we raise.

Refrain

More Gloria.

This one makes me cry.

Roy Rogers and his trusty steed Trigger may have come to the end of their "Happy Trails" - television's most famous horse is going on the auction block.

The beloved golden palomino's home, the Roy Rogers-Dale Evans Museum, has closed - doomed by bitter family feuding, greed, mounting debts and IRS demands.

Trigger - stuffed in a familiar pose, rearing majestically on hind legs - will join Dale Evans' horse Buttermilk, their beloved German shepherd Bullet and other Rogers memorabilia in bidding that's expected to reach into the multimillions of dollars.

Fans around the world were stunned by the news that the museum in Branson, Mo., abruptly closed its doors on Dec. 12 after being open to fans for 42 years.

"Negotiations are underway for Trigger, Buttermilk and Bullet to be sold at auction in New York next summer," . "The IRS has valued Trigger alone at $1 million - not bad for a horse Roy paid $25,000 for when he was alive!

"The other animals are expected to raise another $500,000 and the rest of Roy and Dale's most treasured possessions - including guns, saddles and memorabilia - could fetch another $6 million."

Roy, Dale and the animals became the stuff of Hollywood legend after starring in more than 100 movies *many of them for Republic Pictures) and The Roy Rogers Show on radio and television.

The "King of the Cowboys" died in 1998 at age 86, and his wife Dale passed away nearly three years later.

"Roy's son Dusty was devastated when family members started feuding over getting money from the estate," said the insider. "The problem was that the entire estate was tied up in the museum. They're a very Christian family, and Dusty never dreamed greed would help doom the museum."

In desperation, as the recession cut into attendance at the museum, Dusty appealed for help from many of the old-time Hollywood stars who'd known his dad, say sources.

"He wrote to Kevin Costner, Clint Eastwood, Robert Duvall and Tom Selleck, who'd all known his dad, as well as Clint Black and Randy Travis, who recorded with Roy on the last CD he made before his death," revealed the insider. Dusty did not get enough of a response to save the museum.

In a statement he issued when the museum closed, Dusty hinted at the family turmoil that led to the closure, saying there were "many very emotional and financial issues" involved.

"Dad always said, 'If the museum starts costing you money, then liquidate everything and move on,'" he said.

"Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers - remember, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans WILL live forever in our hearts and minds.

"I leave you all with Dad's favorite saying: 'Goodbye, good luck, and may the good Lord take a likin' to ya!'"

Good Evening Letty, Edgar, Baz, Panz et al WA2K dahlings.

Thank you for all your wishes... Panz - my head may drop in my cake soon (love that) so I'm on a music splurge whilst the final hour of my birthday passes into Christmas Eve...

Angels with Joss and Robbie



Life is a gift.. I am so blessed.


Letty my love, how are you today? My thoughts and heart are with you.


Lovin' y'all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ah, edgar. Loved that Gloria by Van Morrison.

JPB, That O Holy Night by the jazz trumpet man was worth crying over. Fantastic, Chicago.

edgar, Roy Rogers was a GOOD Christian man as was his wife. My Pal Trigger was worth every dime of what the bidder paid. Loved his Old Faithful song.

Speaking of angels, when I was a wee thing and still searching, I read Angel Unaware by Dale. What a marvelous way to think of their down syndrome child.



Izzie, you are such a dear. Bet you missed my dancing angel and the song with it ABBA's Dancing Queen.

Robbie Williams and Joss Stones' Angels was truly life lifting, hun.

More Gloria, y'all
