WA2K Radio is now on the air

Hey, tsar. You're not being capricious are you? Exactly which songs were you referring to, buddy?

Mark O'Connor is new to me, but in doing a bit of research found out he did jazz and other genres of music. That solo violin piece was different. Don't you know that Johnny Mercer is the ultimate in jazz?

edgar, thanks again for the comments.

Ahem, meanwhile back to the preaching.

Hope I didn't miss anyone. When I go to the archives I tend to get carried away.

Love this tune.Here's some guy playing it on a Chapman Stick....

Gymnopedie No. 1

Your choice of the Johnny Mercer (a character I don't ever recall hearing about prior to reading your post) was a delightful reintroduction to a song that usually made me gag Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive.

I now like at least that one version of the song.

Mark O'Connor is just a salute to my flighty side that got coincidentally placed in that post instead of a follow up posting it deserved.

Had enough of the old one, huh? Sounded like it was a real pain!

Thanks for the sermonette, letty. I'm sure most of us needed it.
Gots Eddy on deck.

Reyn, even if the computer can be fixed, I am at the point where I no longer care.

Wow! The only stick I know is chap stick. Thanks, Brit



Gymnopedie was so mellow. Thanks for the introduction

tsar, Now I understand, honey. You're good at explaining.

Reyn, at first I thought that you and edgar were talking about a watchtower.

edgar, thanks again for the comments, and Eddy's Anytime is one of my favorites.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I think that I shall do so with two songs. First, here's one I know and don't know why I know it.

and, y'all, the lyrics.

Come, oh, songs! come, oh, dreams!
Soft the gates of day close,
Sleep, my birds, sleep, streams!
Sleep, my wild rose!

Pool and bud, hill and deep,
You who wore my robes, sleep!
Droop, East! die, West!
Let my land rest.

Woods, I woke your boughs!
Hills, I woke your elf-throngs!
Land, All thy hopes and woes
Rang from me in songs!

Come, oh, songs! come, oh,dreams!
In our house is deep rest,
Through the pines gleams, gleams,
Bright the gold West,

There the flutes shall cry,
There the viols weep,
Laugh, my dreams, and sigh!
Sing, and vigil keep,
Call to them that sleep,
Call to them that sleep

Finally, Jimi Hendrix.

Been a wonderful day on WA2K

From Letty with love

Good morning. Nice day out there, if you happen to be a french fry.
That there rose song was beautiful. Jimi gave it one heck of an effort too.

Good morning, WA2K and edgar. Wasn't To a Wild Rose lovely? Thanks for your comments and I really love Al Martino's Mary in the Morning.

Interesting, y'all. Today is Claude Debussy's birthday and here are two songs that are perfect for the day.

I think they go well together.

letty, that Jimmy Rodgers version of World I Used to Know is the one I heard first and still prefer.

The following song (Don't know the title) is very lovely.

Well, got things to do. Be back later.

edgar, the melody and lyrics were stuck in my head so I went a searchin'. Same with To a Wild Rose.

Great one by Al, edgar. That man was fantastic. Love Carolina in the Morning. Hurry back, buddy.

Nice Debussy - I love Monet's work.
Well. I just got the floor down. As John, here, says, I am tired. Going to take it easy in the easy chair.

edgar, that Beatles song is a good one to rest by. Never heard that one by The Fab Four.

Hey, Rocky, welcome back. Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone is a great one. Those bros. do it quite well. Thanks, Kansas.

I love this one, y'all.

Thinking of those who are faced with health problems on Izzi's ship.

Ha! Yeah, I was a big help!!!

I enjoyed the Debussy, Miss L.

Here's one of my favorite pieces of music to listen to on a Sunday afternoon.
