WA2K Radio is now on the air

Dear Izzie, you all deserved a wonderful time. That poem by e.e.cummings touched my heart and my soul. Love his poetry and the visuals were awesome and soothing.

One of my favorite poets and poems.

Sea Shell by Amy Lowell
Sea Shell, Sea Shell,
Sing me a song, O Please!
A song of ships, and sailor men,
And parrots, and tropical trees,
Of islands lost in the Spanish Main
Which no man ever may find again,
Of fishes and corals under the waves,
And seahorses stabled in great green caves.
Sea Shell, Sea Shell,
Sing of the things you know so well.

And from Glenn to you, Iz.

Dear loving and flying squirrel. Heavens Open Door was perfect for my day. Thank you, and consider Glen's Gentle on my Mind for you as well.

RIO and Glenn Campbell - Good ones. As are the songs by izzie and jpb. Not to mention barry and rock.

Cotton Fields

Thanks for the comments, Texas. I LOVE that Cotton Fields by Harry. It began with a sort of dissonance then developed into one great jazz version. Fantastic! Didn't know that Mr. Belafonte did jazz.

Here's an answer from Brook.

On the liner notes to his album, Belafonte Sings the Blues, Harry said it took him a long time to be able to do jazz songs. Most of those songs have not been on youtube, as yet.

I know and love Brook's insect song. In fact, I have yet to hear Brook do a song I don't like.

Mel Torme

Thanks again for the info, edgar. It may have taken Belafonte a while to do jazz, but it was worth the wait.

Ah, Merle's California Cotton Fields must have been about the great depression. Love it, and thanks for your comment about Brook.

Well, folks, I know this was The Mama's and the Papa's song, but here is a fantastic discovery.

Play it Jose.

Don't want to miss the "velvet fog".

Boy, edgar, was that a different sound of Mel. Need to listen again. Thanks!

Letty, Ed, Baz..........................

Got Diamond Rio

Ah, our dear Izzie. She got so excited remembering her wonderful time at the concert of Les Miserables, that we have to imagine hearing the people sing. She is such a delight.

edgar, I love that song. Diamond Rio's Beautiful Mess could be a theme song for a lot of situations. Thanks, Texas.

Well, I noticed that Susan Sarandon was in the news today and that reminded me that perhaps a movie review might be a good touch for WA2K radio.

The amazing think about this movie, The Client, is that Anthony La Paglia is a villain and does a great job. What a shock to find that he is Australian.

First, the trailer, y'all

Now a brief review.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109446/

I give that movie a thumbs up.

That movie could be a good one. Some of Grisham's tales are excellent.

Carla Thomas now.

An American Tune

edgar, I loved that one by Carla Thomas and I went searching again, Texas.

After her last Stax recording in 1971, Love Means, Thomas slipped into relative obscurity when compared to her 1960s musical heyday. However, she was featured in a number of modern-day projects, notably including a 1994 compilation of her greatest hits, a 2002 live recording of a Memphis performance and the 2007 release Live at the Bohemian Caverns" in Washington, D.C., a long lost live recording of Thomas in 1967. She would also occasionally toured during the 1980s and became heavily involved in the “Artists in the Schools” program that provided Memphis schoolchildren with access to successful artists. These workshops were organized to talk to teenagers about music, performing arts and drug abuse.In 1993, Thomas was awarded the prestigious Pioneer Award, along with such musical heavyweights as James Brown and Solomon Burke, from the Rhythm & Blues Foundation in honor of her career achievements. She was also featured in the 2003 documentary, Only the Strong Will Survive, that was shown at the Cannes Film Festival and showcased important Stax recording artists.

What absolute soul, buddy.

Paul Simon's American song was done to the tune of J.S. Bach's O Sacred Head now wounded.

Saying goodnight with two songs. First one of the songs from The Client; St Louis Blues.

Now Bach:

Again to all of you

From Letty with love

That was a version of St Louis Blues I had not heard before.
Thanks for the Bach, so we could compare the two songs, letty.
