WA2K Radio is now on the air

Ah, edgar, I remember that one because my older sister loved it. She was dating a guy named Buddy at the time. He was killed in an airplane crash.

Speaking of flying objects, here's a tribute to a birthday man. Don't know him at all.

Ever since The Wright Brothers, I'm suspicious of the airborne.

Don't know him either. Happy Birthday anyway.

Bonnie Tyler now.

Love that Total Eclipse of the Heart, edgar. Bonnie Tyler is a wonderful vocalist.

Here's a funny one based on an old song.

I am playing my last one for the night. See you all tomorrow.

Don't know Bill, edgar, but it's time for me to say goodnight as well.

How about a carousal and a dream.

Goodnight, world.

From Letty with love

Morning Ms Letty,Ed and all WA2K peeps.Starting with an anniversary....

"It was July 20, 1969 when Neil Armstrong spoke what must be considered the most famous words of the 20th century, "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind". This, of course, was the day that men from Earth first set foot on the Moon. It was the culmination of years of research and development, success and failure, and bitter competition from our feared rivals. And it was the words of a 38 year old Neil Armstrong that echo in the annals of history.
Apollo 11 touched down on the surface of the Moon on July 20, 1969, at which point Armstrong declared, "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." A hugh sigh of relief was said to have been breathed throughout mission control, as it was thought that Armstrong had merely seconds of fuel remaining before the thrusters cut and the lander plummeted to the surface. Armstrong and Aldrin exchanged congratulations before quickly preparing the lander to launch off the surface in case of an emergency.Initially, it was planned that Buzz Aldrin, the Lunar Module Pilot would be the first to set foot on the Moon. However, it was determined that because of the positions of the astronauts in the module, it would require Aldrin to physically crawl over Armstrong to reach the hatch. As such, it was decided that it would be easier for Armstrong to exit the module first upon landing.
Armstrong made his way down the ladder from the Lunar Lander and, upon reaching the bottom declared "I'm going to step off the LEM now." As his left boot made contact with the surface he then spoke the words that defined a generation, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

Interestingly, he meant to say "one small step for a man," referring to himself. Otherwise the phrase is actually contrary, since as stated man would imply mankind. Armstrong later was reported as saying that he hoped future quotations would include the "a" parenthetically. However, the phrase is still usually conveyed as he originally spoke it.

About 15 minutes after exiting the module, Aldrin joined him on the surface and they set to investigating the environment on the lunar surface. They also planted the American flag on the surface."

Don't get many days as big as this!

Miles Davis Quintet - Footprints.

Just discovered these guys....
"Since they formed in December 2007, the members of Mumford & Sons have shared a common purpose: to make music that matters, without taking themselves too seriously. Four young men from West London in their early twenties, they have fire in their bellies, romance in their hearts, and rapture in their masterful, melancholy voices. They are staunch friends - Marcus Mumford, Country Winston, Ben Lovett, and Ted Dwane - who bring their music to us with the passion and pride of an old-fashioned, much-cherished, family business. They create a gutsy, old-time sound that marries the magic of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young with the might of Kings Of Leon, and their incredible energy draws us in quickly to their circle of songs, to the warmth of their stories, and to their magical community of misty-eyed men."

Mumford and Sons - Roll Away Your Stone.

Laura Marling - Devil's Spoke.

I might be apart of this
ripple on water from a lonesome drip
A fallen tree that witness me
I'm alone,
Him and me.

And then life it's self can not aspire
to have someone be so admired
I threw creation to my king
have the silence broken by a whispered wind.

All of this can be broken
All of this can be broken
Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground.

And root to root and tip to tip
I look at him my country gip
Let it up I own his fears
But someone brought you close to tears.

Many trains and many miles
Like you to me on this sunny isle
And what of which you wish to speak
Have you come here to rescue me?

All of this can be broken
All of this can be broken
Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground.

But the love of your life
lives but lies no more
and where she lay
a flower grows.

The arms are fed
the babes have wed
and the backs have bled,
keeping her in tow.

But I am your keeper
And I hold your face away from light
I am yours till they come
I am yours till they come.

Eye to eye
Nose to nose
ripping off each others clothes
in the most peculiar way.

Eye to eye
Nose to nose
ripping off each others clothes
in the most peculiar way.

Another afternoon session. Where did everyone go?

Love this version of What a Difference a Day Makes.

Played that on Izzie's boat.

Good graphics with Carousel, letty. John Mayall is sounding good also.

Good information and videos from our friend Barry.

Isaac Stern and Brahms - Yep a rooty.
I love Robin Williams. I don't say I like everything he has done, but he does so much that that leaves a lot of room.

I have never heard that version of What a Difference, letty. He does a nice job.

When I hear that song I always think of this one. It's automatic.

Thanks again, Texas, for keeping us on the air and your comments on the music that we play on WA2K

Love that Dinah Washington song. Nat and Natalie did that one as well but the visuals that accompanied your version were great.

Today is Kay Starr's birthday, y'all, so here is a wheel by her.

To me, that is Moody Blues best song.
Here is a Willie Nelson song. The story is, he was broke. So, he sold this song for $100. Rusty Draper recorded it.
