WA2K Radio is now on the air

Hank did sing I'll Sail My Ship Alone. So did Patsy Cline and Jerry Lee Lewis.

Here is Arlo with another 'ship' song.

Thanks for the info on I'll Sail My Ship Alone, Texas.

That song by Arlo was awesome, and I just saw that Bob Dylan did it as well. Well, my ship won't be coming in. Guess I'll just be a stranger on the shore.

I like Stranger on the Shore.
Remember Walkin in the Sand

Don't know that one by The Shangri LA's, Texas, but I've done my share of walkin in the sand. Never wrote any love letters, however.

Pat sings about it. (speakin of depression, there's one forming in the Atlantic soon to be named Colin. Yikes)

I am a Pat fan, as you know.

Mitch Miller, aged 99, died this day.

I don't know which recording with Mitch sold the most copies. Perhaps this one.

edgar, I am saddened to learn of Mitch's death, but he lived a long and creative life.

I recall seeing The Bridge on the River Kwai. When David Niven saluted and blew up the bridge, I burst into tears. Love The Colonel Bogey March. I don't cry as easily now.

Here's another by Mitch. The man was unbelievable.

That video showed many of his songs.

OOPS, Make that Alec Guinness.

Right you are. I love that movie and song, too. Mitch's other biggest song was probably This Old Man, after that and Yellow Rose.

Brook Benton with his biggest selling song.

Don't know It's a Matter of Time, edgar, but I love Brook's Rainy Night in Georgia.

Time and tide wait for no man.(or woman either)

Here's one by the Stones, folks, to match edgar's song.

Nice combination of art and music.

I like that one by the Stones. I usually like their songs.
Here are Jerry, Little Richard and a Beatles song.

Wow! Had no idea that Jerry Lee and Little Richard did I Saw Her Standing There. Great version, edgar.

Today is discovery day for our radio station. Just found out that today is Jimmy Lowe's birthday, and he's the drummer man for Pirates of the Mississippi. Here's a bit of info on the group.

Pirates of the Mississippi is an American country music group. It was founded in 1987 by Rich Alves (guitar, Hammond organ, background vocals), Bill McCorvey (guitar, lead vocals) Jimmy Lowe (drums), Pat Severs (steel guitar, Dobro), and Dean Townson (bass guitar). Under this lineup, Pirates of the Mississippi made its national debut in 1990 with a cover of Hank Williams' "Honky Tonk Blues". This cover was the first single from their self-titled debut album. "Honky Tonk Blues" was followed by ten more singles, all of which charted between 1990 and 1995. in that same time span, the band would release four more studio albums and a compilation album. Severs was replaced by Greg Trostle in 1994, and two years later, the five members parted ways. In 2000, Alves and McCorvey reunited and began recording again as a duo, once again using the name Pirates of the Mississippi. The re-established lineup recorded another album, entitled Heaven and a Dixie Night, in 2006 on CBuJ Entertainment.

Now a song by the group, y'all.

Time for me to say goodnight. So glad that Barry the Brit and crew got to see The Lion King.

Another new voice on our radio will be my goodnight song.
