WA2K Radio is now on the air

The reason Sam hated that song, he had been drafted. To him, that was the equivalent of getting kidnapped. He was in danger of getting killed for a war he felt he had no stake in fighting. So, he hears this song, incessantly:
I'm a soldier
A lonely soldier
Away from home
Through no wish of my own
That's why I'm lonely
I'm Mr Lonely
I wish that I could go back home.

@edgarblythe,

Ah, thanks for the further info, buddy. I agree with Sam on that one.

Dod Severenson sat in with Bud's trio when they played at Glade Springs.

Well, y'all, today is Florence Henderson's birthday. Remember this TV show?

My family watched that show. I always found something else to do. Smile

@edgarblythe,

Funny, edgar. That's the only thing I could think of to play for Florence's birthday.

Here's another birthday girl.

I never heard of Meg Tilly. But, I heard Lulu before.

@edgarblythe,

Love LuLu, edgar. Thanks for that one by her. I recall To Sir With Love, however.

Wow! Just found out that Meg Tilly starred in the movie The Girl in a Swing. Shocked

I read that book ages ago. Hebba was the first to respond.

This is not a happy song. I find it poignant. Caution: it uses a swear word.

Meg appears to be a good actor, letty.

Ah, edgar. Eels Little Bird was sad. Don't know him but I did like the song. Thanks for the introduction.(well, of course, none of us here has ever heard a curse word)

Speaking of birds, does anyone remember this one?

What a name, folks, McFly. Love it!

@Letty,

UhOh, Letty's talking to herself again. Where's Tai Chi when you need her.

Merry Andrew just informed us it's the Chinese New Year so let's hear one for the tiger.

I like Rockin Robin, but not McFly.
Eye on the Tiger reminds me of Rocky movies.

@edgarblythe,

I didn't much like the version by McFly either, but it's the only one that I could find that didn't bring back old memories.

Love that one by Dolly, Texas. "Here you Come Again" leads to this one by "old blue eyes".

"...here I go again; I hear those trumpets blow again.."

Fighting my way through all the bobbysoxers - Here is a song Sinatra is famous for, but done by somebody else.

@edgarblythe,

Listened twice to that one, edgar. The Kingston Trio did it well, but Sinatra does it better, methinks.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I think that I shall do so with Nat (back to the birds again)

And Peggy Lee, y'all.

Good morning, WA2K folks.

mooseman, Welcome back. Love that one by Frank. Yep, Someone to Watch Over Me carries a keen message , Kansas.Thanks!

edgar, Matt Monroe is, once again, fabulous. Didn't know that he did Youg Lovers, however. Thanks, Texas.

Today is Melissa Manchester's birthday, and I like this one by her, y'all.
