WA2K Radio is now on the air

It's a neat song, letty. It was also done by Stevie Wonder.
Well, the Republicans on a2k don't like me. Now, I have probably got the Democrats mad too. Oh, well -

Love that one by Sammy, edgar. As Phoenix observed, What you see is what you get.

I don't get into the politics on A2K because I'm like Eva. (no, not our Eva) but this one.

I remember that one, letty. All I can say in return is,

THE FUTURE - LEONARD COHEN - LIVE IN LONDON

Wow! I had forgotten Teresa. Just did some research on the gal and noticed that she did Bell Bottom Trousers a Coat of Navy Blue.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I think that I shall do so with two songs.

First, Hugh.

Goodnight world,

From Letty with love

Goodnight Letty! Diana Krall is such a wonderful exit to give oneself for the night!

Hugh - kinda entertaining. Diana good as always.

Bread.

Good morning WA2K folks.

edgar, I had to smile at the Mickey Mouse song. Thanks, Texas.

tsar, that song by Leonard Cohen was fantastic. Didn't realize that the man reeked with pathos and razor blades. The Future was an enigma until he decided that "love is the only engine of survival". Wow!

Hey, Brit. Joni Mitchell's Free Man in Paris was great. Never heard that one by her, London. So it's sandwich day in your wee town. I looked at some of the offerings and thought about "the water cress" place that used to be in Virginia. Had forgotten that the sandwich islands are now the Hawaiian Islands. Incidentally, the guys at school called beer sammies.

Ah, I love that one by Bread. "..you come and pour yourself on me.." beautiful lyrics.

Speaking of paintings, The Picture of Dorian Gray was on last evening and I woke up and watched the entire movie again. Did not realize that there had been two remakes. What a fantastic writer was Oscar Wilde. So, Dorian sold his soul for eternal youth. That theme has been done by many including Hawethorne, but not as dynamic as Wilde.

Two songs for the early morning, y'all.

First it's Stevie Wonder's birthday. I started to play You Are the Sunshine of my Life, but decided on this one instead.

Now a classical piece by Chopin which was also in the movie about Dorian.

Thanks, Texas, for the history dates.

Had to hobble into our wee studio today, but I cannot fail to recognized Ritchie Valens' birthday.

Here is one of his most famous songs done by Santana.

Superstition is one of Stevies's best, letty.
Liked the Chopin.
And La Bamba is a great number.
Check out this version of it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gKpjjiqhL0

Barry - Liked Bread and particulartly loved Joni Mitchell. Speaking of sndwiches, I just had a peanut butter.

Loved that version of La Bamba by Harry, Texas.

I had a peanut butter sandwich as well on cinnamon swirl bread.

Today is Darius Rucker's birthday, and although I don't know him, nor his group Hootie and the Blowfish, he is good, y'all.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZ9MHFr89NM&feature=related

I'll volunteer to be the crazy, now-and-then pseudo-experts on world mysteries and misinformation.

And here's a great song for anyone who's thirsty:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M23zjNrG9M

Welcome to our cyber radio station, C.S. You can be anything you want to be here. Loved that one by Pink Floyd, buddy.
Especially like the last two lines. They have a special meaning to me.

Since you have already heard Limehouse Blues, how about some China Groove.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTCyO9MpGUM

I recall Darius when he was with Hootie.

I'm now getting a black box on youtube, instead of the videos. Will try again later.

Finally. I was able to hear Pink Floyd and the Doobies.
In honor of the latest Robin Hood movie, due out tomorrow:
