WA2K Radio is now on the air

Fly Me to the Moon and Come Fly With Me are a couple of the better standards, I think.

I really like those two as well, edgar.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I think that I shall do so with a tribute to Don Ho whose birthday is today.

As always,

From letty with love

Nice Don Ho tribute, letty.

Good night, folks.

Good morning WA2K and edgar. Hope you get your pc fixed soon.

Neil Young Down By the River.

Wow! Don't know that Down by the River, edgar. Neil Young did a great job, but the lyrics were rather odd. Thanks for the introduction, buddy.

Well, today is "The Jerk's" birthday and I had forgotten how well he plays banjo. Here is Steve Martin with Earl Scruggs, y'all.

I have seen Steve do that on TV, letty. Steve also writes fiction.
Here is Diamond Rio.

Sent me searching again, edgar. Love that song by Diamond Rio. (I believe the U.S. may be in the same "beautiful mess" ) sigh.

Diamond Rio is an American country music band formed in 1984 in Nashville, Tennessee. Since its foundation, the group has comprised the same six members: Gene Johnson (mandolin, guitar, fiddle, tenor vocals), Jimmy Olander (lead guitar, Dobro, Danelectro, banjo), Brian Prout (drums), Marty Roe (lead vocals), Dan Truman (keyboards, organ, synthesizer), and Dana Williams (bass guitar, baritone vocals).

Diamond Rio was signed to Arista Records in 1988. Due to a series of health issues affecting three of its members, however, the band did not make its debut until 1991, with the release of the single "Meet in the Middle". It reached Number One on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts, making Diamond Rio the first country music group in history to reach Number One with a debut single. "Meet in the Middle" was followed by thirty-two more chart singles throughout the band's career, including four more Number Ones: "How Your Love Makes Me Feel" (1997), "One More Day" (2001), "Beautiful Mess" (2002), and "I Believe" (2003).

Diamond Girl, edgar?

I fondly remember the band Diamond Rio. At least for their first two or three albums. They arrived on the scene during the beginning of what was termed the Country Music Renaissance of the early to mid1990's.

is this country music day on the radio?

miss letty, i need some rain.

tsarstepan, thanks for that info and welcome back. Rockymoose, that was a great one by Dierks Bentley. Every mile a memory was one that I don't know, Kansas. Thanks for the introduction.Oops, missed your prayer for rain. Back shortly to acknowledge.

How about another country and another memory, y'all.

and the lyrics


Sweet, sweet memories you gave-a me
you can't beat the memeories you gave-a me

Take one fresh and tender kiss
Add one stolen night of bliss
One girl, one boy
Some grief, some joy
Memories are made of this

Don't forget a small moonbeam
Fold in lightly with a dream
Your lips and mine
Two sips of wine
Memories are made of this

Then add the wedding bells
One house where lovers dwell
Three little kids for flavor
Stir carefully through the days
See how the flavor stays
These are the dreams you will savor

With His blessings from above
Serve it generously with love
One man, one wife
One love through life
Memories are made of this
Memories are made of this

Diamond Girl was a fitting comeback, letty.
The Freddy Quinn song has the same sound as Dean Martin's Memories Are Made of This.

Oh, I see you put the lyrics in English.

Yep, edgar. I recognized the melody.

hey, Rocky. Liked the Darius Rucker song. Don't think I don't think about it, too.

Thanks again for the comments Texas, and speaking of that great state, here's one that I submitted to your songs that tell stories.

Love Marty's voice

I just came from Songs That Tell Stories, letty.

Here's the tale of Handsome Johnny.

edgar, that was a fabulous montage of the wars. Thanks, Texas. Love your songs that tell stories, buddy. Just listened to another version of the Alamo. Why are all soldiers called Johnny, I wonder?

Then, there are the wars of the west, and since today is Doc Holiday's birthday, lets listen to a version of his life.

For those of us who are interested, here is a bio of his life.

There are so many good actors that played Doc Holiday, I never could pick a favorite, but I lean to Victor Mature's role as most accurate for character.
