Johnny is great. So is Al

You know, edgar, I have really come to appreciate Al Jolson. Love that Sittin' on Top of the World and the Kong effects.

How about one on a string?

Yep. Buble songs are good.
Here is a Hoyt Axton song

Wow! I didn't know that Hoyt Axton did that one, edgar. Wasn't he in the movie Gremlins? Love Joy to the World.

How about some Sammy.

I think this may have his last performance

Sammy was so good.
Buddy -

Wow! That Buddy Greco is great, Texas. What a fabulous jazz song. I've only heard it by Frank Sinatra. Thanks for playing that one.

Well, time for me to say goodnight, and I think that I shall do so with Glenn Yarbrough. I like his voice somehow.

Do You Hear The People Sing? from Les Mis
Hope the Doc gives my PD a clean bill of health.
Laters WA2K.

Good morning, WA2K radio folks.

edgar, Loved that tribute to Steve McQueen by Glenn. Yep, Baby the Rain Must Fall is one of my favs. Thanks, Texas.

Brit, Welcome back. My word, London, the popularity of The Muppets never fades, and that was a great one by Dizzie. St. Louis Blues is fantastic. Ah, who can ever forget Herb Alpert, and Rise was perfect.

Well, thanks for your concern about this PD's health. Let's just say that I am less miserable. Love that one from Victor Hugo's novel turned broadway. I hope we can hear more people sing and play on WA2K.

Let's hear from Nat, shall we?
