Welcome back pretty pink lady. Ah, I wondered what had happened to our Brit.

Love that song by Sir Elton, gal. Frankly, I like everything that he did and does.

One of the first that I ever heard by him, Miss Iz.

ah yes, one of our Edgars faves...

and Elton John is simply amazing

Here's a memory from 3 summers ago... memories resound fondly as life rolls by

Daniel Bedingfield

Elton and Pink Floyd are great, of course.

Bobby 'Blue' Bland now

Well, our Izzie took off but I enjoyed another Daniel's If You're Not the One.

edgar, thanks for the comments. I thought that Mexico song was mesmerizing.

Don't know Bobby Bland, but Members Only was great but 'blue', Texas.

Here's an oldie that I love, folks, and of all things it's barbership.

That Darktown song always reminds me of this one

edgar, I remember The Dark Town Poker club by Phil. He was a great performer, Texas.

Rex, Welcome back. Love Smokey and the Miracles doing Crusin. Thanks, Maine.

Here's Phil and Catman/Scatman doing a great duet, y'all.

I love those two guys, letty. Like Rex's song also.
Here is something else

edgar, Shirley Brown's Woman to Woman was par excellence. Never heard her before. Thanks for the introduction, buddy. Always enjoy your comments.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I think that I shall do so with two songs.

First a great jazz song replete with lyrics.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYX0mFSmMpA&feature=related

and the lyrics.

Heaven sends a song through its doors
Just as if it seems to know, I'm exclusively yours
Knowing this, I feel but one way
You will understand too, in these words that I say

I'll close my eyes to everyone but you
And when I do, I'll see you standing there
I'll lock my heart to any other caress
I'll never say yes to a new love affair

I'll close my eyes to everything that's gay
If you're not there, to share each lovely day
And through the years, those moments
When we're far apart
I'll close my eyes and see you with my heart

And now a tribute to Alice Faye, folks.

Goodnight world,

From Letty with love

Letty that aristocats was cute

sayin' g'nite miss letty.

By the time I knew a little about Alice Faye, she had essentially retired. She appeared with husband Phil Harris on The Jack Benny Show (originally The Lucky Strike Show) occasionally. I finally got to see her in an old movie or two on TV. I like the song you played by her.

I Close My Eyes was a good one, too.
Here is a song by Neil Sedaka - Breakin up Is Hard Doo Doo

Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue - Where The Wild Roses Grow

They call me 'The Wild Rose'
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it, I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day

From the first day I saw her, I knew she was the one
She stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the color of the roses
That grew down the river, all bloody and wild

When he knocked on my door and entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man and with a careful hand
He wiped at the tears that ran down my face

They call me 'The Wild Rose'
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me that, I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day

On the second day, I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful than any woman I've seen
I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free?"

On the second day, he came with a single red rose
He said, "Give me your loss and your sorrow"
I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
"If I show you the roses, will you follow?"

They call me 'The Wild Rose'
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me that, I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day

On the third day, he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist

On the last day, I took her where the wild roses grow
She lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die"
And I lent down and planted a rose 'tween her teeth

They call me 'The Wild Rose'
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it, I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
My name was Elisa Day
For my name was Elisa Day

The Boss sings another "story" song....

Bruce Springsteen - Highway Patrolman

My name is Joe Roberts, I work for the state
I'm a sergeant out of Perrineville, barracks number 8
I always done an honest job, as honest as I could
I got a brother named Franky, and Franky ain't no good

Well ever since we was young kids, it's been the same come down
I get a call on the shortwave, Franky's in trouble downtown
Well if it was any other man, I'd put him straight away
But when it's your brother sometimes you look the other way

Yeah me and Franky laughin' and drinkin', nothin' feels better than blood on blood
Takin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band played "Night of the Johnstown Flood"
I catch him when he's strayin' like any brother would
Man turns his back on his family, well he just ain't no good

Well Franky went in the army back in 1965
I got a farm deferment, settled down, took Maria for my bride
But them wheat prices kept on droppin' till it was like we were gettin' robbed
Franky came home in '68 and me I took this job

Yeah we're laughin' and drinkin', nothin' feels better than blood on blood
Takin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band played "Night of the Johnstown Flood"
I catch him when he's strayin', teach him how to walk that line
Man turns his back on his family, he ain't no friend of mine

Well the night was like any other, I got a call 'bout quarter to nine
There was trouble in a roadhouse out on the Michigan line
There was a kid lyin' on the floor lookin' bad, he was bleedin' hard from his head
There was a girl cryin' at a table,it was Frank, they said

Well I went out and I jumped in my car and I hit the lights
Well I musta done a hundred and ten through Michigan county that night
Well it was out at the crossroads, way down 'round Willow bank
There was a Buick with Ohio plates, behind the wheel was Frank

Well I chased him through them county roads
Till a sign said "Canadian border five miles from here"
I pulled over the side of the highway and watched his taillights disappear

Me and Franky laughin' and drinkin', nothin' feels better than blood on blood
Takin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band played "Night of the Johnstown Flood"
I catch him when he's strayin' like any brother would
Man turns his back on his family, well he just ain't no good


Johnny Cash does a good version as well....

Johnny Cash - Highway Patrolman

Good early morning WA2K folks. Hey, mooseman. Loved that one by Sir Elton. Never heard it. Thanks for the introduction.

edgar, once again we appreciate your comments on what we play on our cyber radio.

I do know Neil's Breaking up is Hard to Do.Great oldie, Texas.

Welcome back, Brit. Glad all is well with your connection, 'cause we miss you when you're away, even if it's only a day.(yep, what a difference a day makes)

Ah, what a beauty. Nick and Kylie's Where the Wild Roses Grow was awesome. Listened twice.

Yep today is "the boss's birthday" Loved his and Johnny's version of The Highway Patrolman.

Hope I didn't miss anyone; still have a bit of sleep in my eyes.

Another by Bruce, y'all. Hmmm. I must send a signal to Ursula.

Here's Born to Run. (thank God it's not for some political office)
