Ben E King

Hey, edgar. I love that Ben E. King and The Drifters doing Amour, Spanish Harlem, and Stand by Me. It was worth a triple play, Texas.



How about a Pinata party and a dance.

Incidentally, Texas, I call neco nomad Japanese because when his garden was all over The Realm, I thought he was.

I love the dancing, letty

Ah, edgar, dear Richie Valens. Love La Bamba. Lou Diamond Phillips did the story of his life. He was good!

Incidentally, Texas, I love the dancing, too.

Here's an interesting mixture, y'all. Brazil 66 doing a song in Portuguese.

Found this translation:

Mas que nada
Don't mind that

Sai da minha frente
Get out of my way

Eu quero passar
I want to come through

Pois o samba está animado
Because the samba is cheerful

O que eu quero é sambar
And what I want is to samba

Este samba
This samba

Que é misto de maracatu
is a mixture of Maracatu

É samba de preto velho
It is the old black man's samba

Samba de preto tu
Black man's samba

Mas que nada
Don't mind that

Um samba como esse tão legal
A samba like this is so cool

Você não vai querer
You won't want it

Que eu chegue no final
to come to an end.

Evening Ms Letty,Ed and all WA2K peeps.Tying up yesterday and next Sunday....

Jean Michel Jarre - Revolution.

I know that Brazil song, letty. One of their best recordings, for me.

Hey, Brit. You sent me to the archives as to Jean Michel Jarre.

Jean-Michel André Jarre (born 24 August 1948) is a French composer, performer and music producer. He is regarded as a pioneer in the electronic, synthpop, ambient and New Age genres, as well as an organiser of outdoor spectacles of his music which feature lights, laser displays and fireworks.

and a quote, y'all.

This is where Stravinsky created it in 1913, and it was a huge shock. I also saw the last concert by the great Arabic singer Om Khalsoum. She is the goddess, the Maria Callas of the Orient. Then I heard "Georgia on My Mind" by Ray Charles, and I realised that music can talk to your tummy. I was so impressed by the organic sensuality coming from Ray Charles's music - there was no intellectual process and it was great.
—Jean Michel Jarre

I must say his Revolution was quite different; thanks for the introduction.

Saying goodnight with two songs.

First, inspired by our Brit.

The Fab Four.

Now, a bit of French roses by Mario Lanza

What a wonderful day on A2K. Latin George and his fabulous wedding photo's, and we must say...

All's right with the world

From Letty with love and a smile

Goodnight dear, dear edgar. Thank you/Merci!

I was looking for a song called Writer in the Sun, but the version I want is not there. In fact, most of Donovan's studio recordings seem to have vanished.

Revolution and Roses of Picardy are two very great songs. Love them both.

Here is one of my alltime favorite records
Good night all. You too, barry. That was a most unusual revolution song.

good morning miss letty.

bob geldof has a birthday today. (i'm still on yesterday)

Show of Hands - Country Life.

Working in the rain cutting down wood
Didn't do my little brother much good
Lost two fingers in a chainsaw bite
All he does now is drink and fight
Sells a bit of grass hots up cars
Talks of travel never gets far
Loves his kids left his wife
An everyday story of country life

And the red brick cottage where I was born
Is the empty shell of a holiday home
Most of the year there's no-one there
The village is dead and they don't care
Now we live on the edge of town
Haven't been back since the pub closed down
One man's family pays the price
For another man's vision of country life

My old man is eighty four
His generation won the war
He left the farm forever when
They only kept on one in ten
Landed gentry county snobs
Where were you when they lost their jobs
No-one marched or subsidized
To save a country way of life

Silent fields empty lanes
Drifting smoke distant flames
Picture postcard hills on fire
Cattle burning in funeral pyres
Out to graze they look so sweet
We hate the blood we want the meat
Buy me a beer I'll take my knife
Cut you a slice of country life

If you want cheap food well here's the deal
Family farms are brought to heel
Hammer blows of size and scale
Foot and mouth the final nail
The coffin of our English dream
Lies out on the village green
Where agri-barons,C.A.P. in hand
Strip this green and pleasant land
Of meadow, woodland, hedgerow, pond
What remains gets built upon

No trains,no jobs
No shops, no pubs

What went wrong
What went wrong
Country life
Country life
Country life
It's a little bit of country life

Guv?

Laters WA2K.

Good morning. I will be back later today. Hope everyone is enjoying weather as nice as we are.

Good morning WA2K. (at least it's morning here)

edgar, I had no idea that Bobby did If I were a Carpenter. Loved it! Glad that you enjoyed our songs that we play here. Hurry back, Texas

Hey, mooseman. You sent me to the archives again with Bob Geldof. That Song of Indifference was awesome. Thanks for the introduction

He rose to prominence as the lead singer of the Irish rock band The Boomtown Rats in the late 1970s and early 1980s alongside the punk rock movement. The band had hits with his compositions "Rat Trap" and "I Don't Like Mondays".He co-wrote "Do They Know It's Christmas?", one of the best-selling singles of all time. He starred as Pink in Pink Floyd's 1982 film Pink Floyd The Wall.

Geldof is widely recognised for his activism, especially anti-poverty efforts.

Hey, Brit.Show of Hands was new to your PD/Producer. Wow! Great, buddy.

Now The Temptations' Just my Imagination and Ray Charles' Song for You I do know. That was also done by Michael Buble.

(waves to Barry as he ascends the stairs)

A song for the morning, y'all.
