WA2K Radio is now on the air

Good morning everybody....

Hey, Brit. Francis' song is still there.

http://able2know.org/topic/40045-2827

Wow! loved Claus Spechtl's trio. That one is new to me as well. Hmmm, Sticks and Stones and bones.

Thanks for the pictures of John, buddy. Whatever Gets You Through the Night was a new one to me. Love Sir Elton and John doing that one.

A lot of folks think that Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was an allusion to LSD. It wasn't.

My favorite is John's Imagine. Thanks for the tributes, Brit.

Hey, you've gone, but your melodies linger on.

A couple of songs for the early morning, y'all. First the original version of that fabulous Japanese guy.

Now, a birthday boy.

Jackson Browne and These Days.

Still dark here. My sprinkler system awakened me.

Well, the cat dragged Francis back again. Great one by Chrisette and glad that you and she are OKAY.

Not from this side of the pond.

Good morning Letty. Good morning WA2K. A little upbeat song for all you Good People: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rf0gHanfnwo

A French one:




Je ne sais pas pourquoi la pluie
Quitte là-haut ses oripeaux
Que sont les lourds nuages gris
Pour se coucher sur nos coteaux
Je ne sais pas pourquoi le vent
S'amuse dans les matins clairs
A colporter les rires d'enfants
Carillons frêles de l'hiver
Je ne sais rien de tout cela
Mais je sais que je t'aime encore

Je ne sais pas pourquoi la route
Qui me pousse vers la cité
A l'odeur fade des déroutes
De peuplier en peuplier
Je ne sais pas pourquoi le voile
Du brouillard glacé qui m'escorte
Me fait penser aux cathédrales
Où l'on prie pour les amours mortes
Je ne sais rien de tout cela
Mais je sais que je t'aime encore

Je ne sais pas pourquoi la ville
S'ouvre ses remparts de faubourgs
Pour me laisser glisser fragile
Sous la pluie parmi ses amours
Je ne sais pas pourquoi ces gens
Pour mieux célébrer ma défaite
Pour mieux suivre l'enterrement
Ont le nez collé aux fenêtres
Je ne sais rien de tout cela
Mais je sais que je t'aime encore)

Je ne sais pas pourquoi ces rues
S'ouvrent devant moi une à une
Vierges et froides froides et nues
Rien que mes pas et pas de lune
Je ne sais pas pourquoi la nuit
Jouant de moi comme guitare
M'a forcé à venir ici
Pour pleurer devant cette gare
Je ne sais rien de tout cela
Mais je sais que je t'aime encore

Je ne sais pas à quelle heure part
Ce triste train pour Amsterdam
Qu'un couple doit prendre ce soir
Un couple dont tu es la femme
Et je ne sais pas pour quel port
Part d'Amsterdam ce grand navire
Qui brise mon coeur et mon corps
Notre amour et mon avenir
Je ne sais rien de tout cela
Mais je sais que je t'aime encore
Mais je sais que je t'aime encore.

Tai Chi, Welcome back. I loved that song. Do you suppose the world will never run out of good people? You're right, Canada, that is an upbeat song and I think we all need that in today's world.

Today is Mr. Monk's birthday, and I really appreciate and understand the tribute.

Hope our Brit's pond gets clearer. The Thames can get a bit foggy.

Good morning. I appreciate Jackson Browne and Sukyaki and all the good songs by everyone else. Too much to individually comment on just now.
I enjoyed the few episodes of Monk I saw, but the local free channels only let us see three or four episodes in the original first season.

Here is a bit of China Nights, the film.

edgar, That trailer was awesome. It appeared to have a happy ending. Here's one to match.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wOUFo4Lwf8

I know what you mean about "too many". I often neglect to comment, because I miss the contributions the first time around.

Glad you enjoyed Jackson and the Japanese guy.

That's one of Glenn's best, letty.
I heard this song by Tom Jones this morning, but selected Shirley's version for the radio.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHq0ntFBiDo

I love that one by Dame Shirley, edgar. She did so many of the James Bond themes. "Til" is fantastic.

A couple of songs for the afternoon, y'all.

First, a new discovery for me. The Arctic Monkeys. What a name for a group. Love it. Here's some info.

Arctic Monkeys are an English alternative rock band Formed in 2002 in High Green, a suburb of Sheffield. They currently consists of Alex Turner (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Jamie Cook (lead guitar), Nick O'Malley (bass guitar, backing vocals), Matt Helders (drums, backing vocals) and John Ashton as a touring member (keyboard, guitar, backing vocals). Former members include Andy Nicholson (bass guitar, backing vocals) and Glyn Jones (lead vocals, guitar).

and since it is Scott Bakula's birthday, a tribute. Had no idea the man could sing.

Steely Dan

I remember Baby I'm Yours from the 1960s. They did a good job with it.
Didn't know Scott sang either. Not bad.
One more by Steely Dan
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhCo8KP-_xE&feature=related

Once again, edgar, thanks for the comments.

Wow! Steely Dan's Reeling in the Years and Josie were great. You sent me searching again, and I found out that David Palmer left the group and wrote the following lyrics for Carole King's Jazzman.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1OvDkc2hI0

Love to learn here.

I didn't know Jazzman, but I am not surprised he wrote the words.

Well, little richard once did a few "older folks" songs, hoping to get them into listening to rock n roll. Here is one of them
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pevS-Uo9qWM&feature=related

Love Little Richard, edgar, especially Long Tall Sally. We'll dedicate Baby Face to Rockhead's baby grapes and Tai Chi's avatar.

Another tribute, folks. John Entwhistle formerly of The Who whose birthday is today.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX88Qa-4T_s

Haven't thought of John Entwhistle in a while. Good, talented guy.

Ain't that good news

Ella and Louis....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HlK96kSNt0
Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Jordan - Stone Cold Dead In The Market.

Ah, dear Sam Cooke. Loved Ain't That Good News, edgar

My lord, Brit, I had forgotten that song. Was that Ella singing the lead? Stone Cold Dead in the Market was great.
