WA2K Radio is now on the air

I'm awake hun... not for long I hope - early start tomorrow...

Here's another Billy, a Ballet Dancer.... Elliot, The Musical - ELECTRICITY sung by the incredible Elton John...




xx

Iz, I don't know True by SpandeauBallet, but he is a wonderful vocalist and nice looking as well. Now Sir Elton I most certainly do know. Electricity was wonderful although I've never heard him do that one.

Speaking of electricity, how about one by ELO.

So nice that our Izzie represents England

OOOOOOOOOOOOooh ELO Ello

that's happy bouncy music... here's Last Train to London - hoping this time in two weeks Tulip and I will have spent the most amazing weekend with Bazza at a special event in London - West End Live WOW - dreams do come true. Need to get a few logisitics still sorted, but Tulip will likely do most driving and they have "access" arrangements at the event which Baz is onto.

ELO


Should be going to settle down now - will catchya on the under side of dark. Love and hugs to Letty and Edgar. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I didn't know Gary Bonds did that kind of music, letty.

I like the visuals with the ELO music.

I didn't know Gary did Jole Blon either. I just love the song. I think most of us know it means pretty blonde in cajun.

3 Dog Night has several good songs.
Paul and Art have some good ones also

edgar, I have always loved Paul and Art. That was a lovely song. Thanks, Texas.

Welcome back, Brit. I love that one from Anna and the King of Siam. Shall we dance?

Had no idea they did a remake of that one in 1999.

Going to say goodnight with two songs.

First a song from the remake.

Good morning. The word for today is: Grease.

Good morning, WA2K folks.

Hey, Brit. Thanks for Ringo's goodnight song. Like that one, London. Don't know Clive Dunn, but the nice thing about being a grandparent is that you can spoil the kids regally, then give them back to the parents. Hee, hee.

Ah, edgar. You know how I love "sachmo" and Blueberry Hill is a favorite of mine. As a matter of fact, that is what I had for breakfast this AM. Blueberries are marvelous over miniature shredded wheat laced with same.

Thanks once again for the Grease in French. Still prefer You're the One That I Want, Texas.

I always read your history items, so there will be two songs for this Monday morning.

First, a tribute to Gauguin.

Also, reminded by tsar that this is the anniversary of To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee (she's still with us). Actually, Truman Capote didn't totally ghost write that novel, but he did an awful lot of editing for the Lee Lady.

Breaking news, y'all.

An Indian court Monday convicted seven former senior employees of Union Carbide's Indian subsidiary of "death by negligence" for their roles in the Bhopal gas tragedy that left an estimated 15,000 people dead more than a quarter century ago in the world's worst industrial disaster.

I enjoy Gauguin very much, letty.
What can you add to the praise already heaped on To Kill a Mockingbird? Capote was a great wordsmith. Didn't like his books, but I admit, he could write well.

This is one of my favorite Tony Bennett recordings.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mnJKOT306A&feature=fvst

ah, edgar, thanks for the afternoon session of WA2K. Love Tony Bennett's Beautiful Girls.

The following song was inspired by JLNobody's response to Soccer/Latin George's remark about his beautiful family. I went searching, because my mom loved him and I had a dream about her last evening. So, handsome Nelson, walk a little closer, ok?

From Bittersweet, y'all.

And, a tribute to Tom Jones whose birthday is today. Had no idea he was Welsh.
