WA2K Radio is now on the air

Are we still on the air?

Can't forget this lovely lady's birthday.

Marilyn McCoo.

I am a big fan of Johnny Mathis. Happy birthday, Johnny.
Well, good afternoon, folks. Got us some Hoyt Axton and Linda Ronstadt right cheer.

Thanks again for rescuing our wee cyber radio, edgar.

Funny, I did a search on "Hoy" Axton. Great song by him and Linda. A Lion in Winter was really good. Don't forget to check out Marilyn McCoo, buddy.

I like this one by HOYT as well.

an all time favorite of mine;

I know the Marilyn McCoo song. It's pretty good. And I like Hoyt Axton mostly. Don't know that one by him.
Hobo by Linda is a mighty fine song.
dipping back with Russ Culombo

One of my favorites by Linda is Desperado.

Russ Columbo goes way back, edgar, but I love his version of Prisoner of Love. Did some research on the man and saw that he accidentally shot himself. (I think).

My word, I found out that Hoyt Axton also starred in Gremlins. Funny.

Today is Eric Stoltz's birthday, and I had to research him as well.

Eric Cameron Stoltz (born September 30, 1961) is an American actor. He is known for playing sensitive misfits (Mask, Kicking and Screaming, The Waterdance, Killing Zoe). He was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for Mask. He currently stars in the science fiction television series Caprica.

Don't know this one, but I like the song.

This may help to remind us of the man, incidentally.

I just don't know Eric. Oh, well. Thanks for the song and introduction.
Here is Secret Gardens.

I have played this by Les Baxter before, I think. But it's be you tee full

Ah, edgar, I love Judy Collins' Secret Garden, and the visuals were awesome.

I found Les' lyrics, buddy.

April in Portugal
Les Baxter
(Words by Jimmy Kennedy; Music by Raul Ferrao)

(Refrain)
I found my April dream in Portugal with you
When we discovered romance, like we never knew.
My head was in the clouds, My heart went crazy too,
And madly I said: "I love you."

(Interlude)
Too soon I heard you say:
"This dream is for a day"
That's Portugal and love in April!
And when the showers fell,
Those tears I know so well,
They told me it was spring fooling me.

(Refrain)
I found my April dream in Portugal with you
When we discovered romance, like I never knew.
Then morning brought the rain,
And now my dream is through
But still my heart says "I love you."

Time for me to say goodnight, and here's another discovery.

Z Z is a perfect way to do so.

We'll have to coax that guy from Norway back in here.

To all of you,

From Letty with love

I don't know ZZ but he reminds me of Bobby Bland.
Nice Soft Parade.

My good night song is Sonny's Dream

Good mornin' America. How are ya? You too everybody else.

Good morning, WA2K folks.

Hey, where's our cockney Brit. I just found out what "go forth and multiply" means in the British Isles.

The Doors song was all right, cowboy.

edgar, Loved Sonny's Dream. A great goodnight song, and good morning to you and the world.

Today is Vladimir Horowitz's birthday, so here is a lovely classical combination by him.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxz2UfCYtQk&feature=related

some more info on sputnik

The United States' official response to Sputnik was multi-pronged. School curriculums with an emphasis on science and mathematics were quickly established to prepare students for the challenges ahead; the National Defense Education Act was enacted to provide hundreds of millions of dollars in student loans, scholarships, fellowships, and the purchase of scientific equipment for schools; support was expanded for the National Science Foundation, and the Advanced Research Projects Agency was created.

What a wonderful reaction and a perfect title, y'all.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHyWE7s_lGA

Mr. Holland's Opus was another reaction.

Horowitz always delights - Good performance.
I didn't see that movie, but the trailer evokes some memories. I heard this song trying to play in the background.

He wrote this song after watching John Wayne, in the Searchers. John said, on more than one occasion, "That's be the Day."

Thanks for keeping us on the air,edgar and also for your comments.

Love that one by Buddy Holly, but I had no idea it was inspired by "the pilgrim".

A wee bit down today as this month marks the anniversary of my Dave's demise.

How about a tribute to Julie Andrew's via Van Morrison. Her brithday is today.

Good tribute - Good song.

Carlos Santana - Smooth.

edgar, I love that "love bug itch" by Eddy Arnold. What a great performer he was.(glad it wasn't the bed bug itch)

Hey, Brit. I came across that "multiply" by accident. Love that one by Santana. Who is that dude with him?

Apology for the errors in my last delivery. Was fumbling around a bit.

Here is one from here to London.
