WA2K Radio is now on the air

this song contains a favourite lyric


With the money from her accident
She bought herself a mobile home
So at least she could get some enjoyment
Out of being alone
No one could say that she was left up on the shelf
It's you and me against the World kid she mumbled to herself

When the world falls apart some things stay in place
Levi Stubbs' tears run down his face

She ran away from home with her mother's best coat
She was married before she was even entitled to vote
And her husband was one of those blokes
The sort that only laughs at his own jokes
The sort that war takes away
And when there wasn't a war he left her anyway

Norman Whitfield and Barratt Strong
Are here to make right everything that's wrong
Holland and Holland and Lamont Dozier too
Are here to make it all okay with you

One dark night he came home from the sea
And put a hole in her body where no hole should be
It hurt her more to see him walking out the door
And though they stitched her back together they left her heart in pieces on the
floor

When the world falls apart some things stay in place
She takes off the Four Tops tape and puts it back in its case
When the world falls apart some things stay in place
Levi Stubbs' tears...

I have never heard funnier nor better musicians than Homer and Jethro. Thanks for the Blue Suede Shoes parody, edgar.

dj, I think Billy Bragg is against BLIND patriotism in the first song. It's rather like the difference between faith and blind faith as rosbourne once asked here.

The Track of my Tears by Billy is all right, but I think that I like Smokey's best. Guess it's the song that one hears first that may make a difference.

Thanks, Canada. (damn, I wish we knew something of BoGoWo)

Levi Stubbs Tears did not help lachrymose Letty either. That was a great one.

I noticed that Mark quoted Oscar Wilde and that inspired his poem. I think Oscar is one of the finest writers that I have ever read. Who cares if the man was gay. I don't. I still think about his Happy Prince and my eyes get a mite moist.

How about a little jazz for the late afternoon. Maybe if Stan plays it cool, we'll feel better here in Florida. Sheeeze. I may need a new air conditioner.

Good Stan Getz, letty.
Here is one of my favorite country artists

Saying good night early.
My last song:

edgar, I was captivated by Buddy Greco doing Michel LeGrand's Shelter from the Storm. The verse is the most beautiful part, Texas. Fly me to the Moon was good as well. That guy is fabulous.

Don't know Don Gibson's Sea of Heartbreak, but it reminded me of my goodnight song.

Lights out, now.

From Letty with love

I like Harbor Lights and The Platters.
Good morning, radioland. Day six million of the oil disaster. There may be a storm in the Gulf this weekend.

Good morning, WA2K and edgar.

How about some good news, Texas. Just read somewhere that it's raining oil. Remember when coal lost popularity because it produced acid rain?

I don't know this guy, but he is fantastic and today is his birthday. Love the sax on this one, too, y'all.

Hi Everybody!
How about some Fluidity from a brilliant mind? ............ Methinks!

Best of all things to all.
Mark...

Welcome back, M&M.

mooseman, funny clip by Steve Martin. Now I recall The Jerk and that was funny, but also had something to say. Thanks, Kansas. My favorite by him was the movie Simple Twist of Fate, however. He played a serious role and was terrific.

Mark, I don't know Suede and although I went to the archives, I didn't learn too much. Loved that song, Wales, but was perplexed by the visuals. Great voice by that man. I guess he was the lead singer of the band.

A couple of songs for the past noon crowd.

First, Steve and his banjo with another famous five string man.

Now a fantastic voice by an opera vocalist who my older sister inquired after. Had no idea that he was blind.

Be sure and check out the song that I played this morning, y'all.

Incidentally, hold healing thoughts for Barry the Brit. He is NOT well.

Hello all, I thought I would share with you some select songs of a band I have been using recently to unwind and ready me for dreaming, they are called the Magic Numbers if anyone else has a favourite please show me, I love them,
and the last song I attach for some reason I am always reminded of when ever listening to them.





If you listen to just one, This is the beautiful, imagine one small bedside lamp, clean pillow case and in resting your eyes blood urgency unwinds.


As said for some reason when ever I listen to the Magic Numbers I am reminded of this song.

George Michael is doing very well. Scrugs and Steve Martin play together well.

Bocelli's voice is very good, letty.
I'm still listening to Don Gibson, who wrote most of his own songs, such as this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fhbsCk6Aq8&feature=related

sometime sun, Welcome back. Really enjoyed Magic Numbers, but I think my favorite was the Swingle Singers doing their thing on Butch and Sundance.

edgar, Really have come to enjoy Don Gibson and I have always liked I Can't Stop Lovin' you.

Once again, thanks for the comments on what we play on our cyber radio.

Here's a foil to the sun man, 'cause we need some of these raindrops here.

B.J. Thomas and two songs, folks.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t30cX6OGO0U

"...out, out brief candle..." B.J. just alluded to Shakespeare again.

I am left here thinking of Burt Bacharach so thought I would put up a few of his and collaborations I am partial toward.











And just because I love them so


Who is Carol Burnett?

All my best,
sometime sun

It's a little hard for me to listen to Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head, letty. The ice cream truck plays that little tune remorselessly every day, two or three times.

Waiting for more rain.

Know all those songs, s.s. Thanks for the different versions.
