WA2K Radio is now on the air

I had forgotten all about Pia. She was all right.
I didn't realize Matt Monroe recorded so many songs. His career seemed extra short.
Good night -
Rick Nelson and the Stone Canyon Band

The Unthanks - The Testimony Of Patience Kershaw.

Now for a joint effort between UK and US.
Iris Dement was born on January 5, 1961, in rural Paragould, AR, the youngest of 14 children.Her devoutly religious family (they musta' been very devout,obviously they did not have a television with 14 kids!)moved to California, where she grew up singing gospel music; during her teenaged years, however, she was first exposed to country, folk, and R&B, drawing influence from Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, and Joni Mitchell.
Here she sings with The Beautiful South's Jacqueline Abbott with iIris on guitar and vocal harmonies. From the Beautiful South concert special on 'Later With Jools Holland' broadcast 1997....

In Spite Of Ourselves.
Laters WA2K.

Good morning, WA2K folks.

edgar, as you know I love Ricky Nelson. Hope Mr. Dolphin doesn't get well oiled.



Hey, Brit. Loved The Unthanks' Patience of Kershaw, and Iris Dement's You've Done Nothing Wrong was great. Loved your remark about "fourteen kids and no TV")

John Prine and Iris's In Spite of Ourselves was hilarious. Thanks for the morning smile.

Today is Craig David's birthday. (he has two first names) so here is one by him.

I hope you don't mind Letty that I am posting this song in celebration for State of Puebla.

Don't know David Craig, but he's not bad.

Stonewall Jackson washed his hands in muddy water.

When Dylan's Rolling Thunder came to Houston, I was there.

Barry's music also great stuff.

Mind, TTH? Of course not.That's what our radio is all about, gal. Thanks for that Dylan song. Don't know it, so I'll have to go with edgar who knows all about the "jester"

edgar, Stonewall Jackson's I Washed my Hands in Muddy Water was great. Course we all know that Virginia has a Lee-Jackson day.

Today is Alice Faye's birthday, so here is a tribute to her. Interesting that Tyrone Powers' natal day is also today and he is shown in the visuals.

Always liked Alice. Always felt she stayed out of sight too much.
Marty Robbins
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NepuhOiImqU

Love that one by Marty, edgar. "ride cowboy ride" always reminds me of my dad, somehow.

What a surprise, y'all. I was looking for "drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweed" and found this one by Elton John.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14nD-QMjFvI

Another surprise. Had no idea that Alice was married to Tony Martin.

Didn't know Alice had more than one marriage.
Elton's song was new to me.

Here is one we all know

Indeed we know The Cowardly Lion, edgar.

once again searched for the survivors, folks.

Time has taken its toll on The Movie's cast, and none of the principal players are with us any more. Frank Morgan died in 1949, Bert Lahr in 1968, Judy Garland in 1969, Billie Burke in 1970, Jack Haley in 1979, Margaret Hamilton in 1985, and Ray Bolger in 1987. The only cast members known to still be alive are Lois January, who was one of the Emerald City manicurists and the woman holding the cat Toto chased, and nine of the actors who played Munchkins, many of whom still make public appearances. Among the most visible of these are Jerry Maren (middle Lollipop Guild kid), Margaret Pellegrini (various Munchkin women), Clarence Swenson (soldier), and Meinhardt Raabe (the Coroner). Some of the young girls who played Munchkins are also still alive, as is Judy Garland double Caren Marsh-Doll.

A disco Wizard? Yep!

Pretty good, letty.
Elton John has another wizard in mind
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZCwiNJ4wgo

Well, folks, today is wizard day on WA2K.

Who else did that Pin Ball Wizard? That's right it was the WHO. Like that one by Sir Elton, edgar.

Here's another one about a boy and his wizard, y'all.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WN3vqoW-d2M

I like the song, Stuck in the Middle, letty.
I like this one too
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDTevfX0UpE

Wow! had no idea that Sal Mineo did that Riverside song (It was originally a spiritual). I read the book Exodus, and he was in that movie. How about the theme and the lyrics, folks.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVZpeNGFrB8

This land is mine, God gave this land to me
This brave and ancient land to me

And when the morning sun reveals her hills and plains
Then I see a land where children can run free

So take my hand and walk this land with me
And walk this lovely land with me

Though I am just a man, when you are by my side
With the help of God, I know I can be strong
To make this land our home
If I must fight, I'll fight to make this land our own
Until I die, this land is mine

Did you know that Andy Williams and his brothers backed up Bing Crosby on this recording?

Exodus music is very good. I love those kind of movie themes, often better than the movies.
