WA2K Radio is now on the air

I like Yellow Bird by Arthuir Lyman. But this version is a good one, also.
Well, here's Dave Brubeck with the Trolley Song

I'll have to check out Arthuir Lyman, edgar. I chose that one because of the steel drums. Thanks for the info, buddy.

Had no idea that Brubeck did The Trolley Song. Well, we can't have Brubeck without Paul, right?

We don't need no steenking okra.

edgar, That music by Mitch was fabulous. Had to go to the movie library again, however.


Tunes of Glory is a 1960 British film directed by Ronald Neame, based on the novel and screenplay by James Kennaway. The film is a "dark psychological drama, centering on events in a Scottish Highland regimental barracks in the period following World War II. It stars Alec Guinness and John Mills, and features Dennis Price, Kay Walsh, John Fraser, Susannah York, Duncan MacRae and Gordon Jackson.

Writer Kennaway served with the Gordon Highlanders, and the title refers to the bagpiping that accompanies every important action of the regiment. The original pipe music was composed by Malcolm Arnold, who also wrote the music for The Bridge on the River Kwai. The film was generally well received by critics, the acting in particular garnering praise. Kennaway's screenplay was nominated for an Academy Award.

The visuals were fantastic.

Oh, you were talking about Okra Winfrey and I meant Adams spare ribs.

Today is Martie Seidel's birthday, and since she is a member of the Dixie Chicks, I thought I would play this one.

The Strawberry Blond

I know that Dixie Chicks song, but didn't know the title. I generally like their music.

Thanks for the comment on the Dixie Chicks, edgar. Didn't they get into trouble with The Crawford Ranch folks?

I certainly know Casey and his waltz, buddy. Saw a comment that said it was played in Strangers on s Train. It was on TCM the other night, but was somewhat boring.

From strawberry blonde to strawberry roan, y'all.

I don't recall the entire story, but the Chicks made a statement critical of the last president. Many people boycotted them, for a time.

Marty's treatment of Strawberry Roan is a good one, of course. That's on one of the collections I often listen to while I'm driving.

Here is Apache Girl

I don't recall it either, Texas. Thanks for the comment on Marty.

Wow! love Apache Girl, Texas. Reminded me of this one.

Ya know, Columbus and his triad brought measles to the native Americans. Some tribe were almost wiped out. We have to look at both sides, however. The Noble Savage wasn't always smoking a peace pipe.

Cherokee People is one of the better songs of that kind that I know of.
I know the Native American Indians were not always peaceful. They fought wars among themselves and they attacked peaceful whites many times. But, Manifest Destiny was the monster that destroyed a proud people.

You're right about manifest destiny, edgar. I guess that's "..how the west was won.."

Now That the Buffalo's Gone was sad, and the visuals as well, Texas.Thanks for that song. Never heard it before.

Well, let's change "bison" in mid stream, ok? Today is Hugh Jackman's birthday, so we'll dedicate this one to our Aussie friends.

Hugh Michael Jackman (born 12 October 1968) is an Australian actor and producer who is involved in film, musical theatre and television.

Jackman has won international recognition for his roles in major films, notably as action/superhero, period and romance characters. He is well known from his role as Wolverine in the X-Men series, in addition to his leads in Kate & Leopold, Van Helsing, The Prestige, and Australia. Jackman is a singer, dancer, and actor in stage musicals, and won a Tony Award for his role in The Boy from Oz.

In November 2008, Open Salon named Hugh Jackman one of the sexiest men alive. Later that same month, People magazine named Jackman "Sexiest Man Alive" Enough already.

A three-time host of the Tony Awards, winning an Emmy for one of these appearances, Jackman also hosted the 81st Academy Awards on 22 February 2009.

I know of Jackman, but don't recall seeing him do anything before. He dances good in the video.

Donovan

edgar, your marvelous song by Donovan (Bert's Blues) sent me searching again. I was trying to ascertain the instrumentation. I recognized the bongos, and what I thought was a harpsichord was probably a sitar. I think the bowed instrument was a contra bass, and violins were there. Fantastic voice he has. Thanks so much for that song.

Well, Time for me to say goodnight, and I think that I shall do so with two songs. First another Donovan. Season of the Witch seems appropriate, so I'll play that one first.

And now, a well tempered clavier Bach performance.

Good morning (for me) WA2K folks.

edgar, loved your goodnight song. So, another horse. Here's a morgan.



Love is a Gentle thing was great; and it is!

Hey, mooseman. Love that Eric Clapton song. When Sombody Thinks You ARE Wonderful was great. Thanks, buddy.

Hey, Brit. Joanne Shaw Taylor is pretty good for a girl. Thanks, London. Not quite so blue now.

A couple of songs for the morning.

First a birthday boy. Paul Simon.

Paul with Art

and, folks, a tribute to one of my favorite actors. What a shock to find out that he was an Aussie. After watching The Client, I realized that he could play a villain quite well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg_9FAoq0fY&feature=related

Some info about the man, y'all.

LaPaglia's credits include the films Innocent Blood, The Client, Looking for Alibrandi, Lantana, Summer of Sam, So I Married an Axe Murderer, and Empire Records. LaPaglia also appeared in nine episodes of the sitcom Frasier, including the series finale, playing Daphne Moon's brother Simon. The role won him an Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series. He also appeared uncredited in the film Analyze That playing an actor, Anthony Bella, who appeared in the TV show-within-a-film Little Caesar. LaPaglia also played the role of Jimmy Wyler, the lead during the second and final season of the television program Murder One.

LaPaglia appeared in the Australian political thriller Balibo, about the killing of the five Australian journalists in the town of the same name in East Timor in 1975. LaPaglia played the part of Roger East, another Australian journalist, who went to investigate the deaths of the newsmen, only to be killed the day after the Indonesian invasion.

In 2002, LaPaglia co-starred as a fire captain opposite Sigourney Weaver in the The Guys, a film about New York firemen who died in the World Trade Center. He also played the role onstage, rotating with Bill Murray and others. “We did it as a tribute to the men,” said LaPaglia. “I’ve been so lucky to do it, to be part of this experience. But I can’t go back to that morning or watch the video. It’s too painful."

In addition to leading the cast of Without a Trace, LaPaglia co-wrote an episode titled "Deep Water" with Byron Belasco, the show's usual writer.

Good morning. The cool air returns. Happy miners in Chile. Sound of Silence is one of my top favorite songs.
I somehow missed Lapaglia all this time. I watched Frasier, for instance, up until almost when he appeared on it. Oh, well. I will be back later. Have a good morning or whatever you are having, folks.

Better later than never, edgar.

A couple of songs for the afternoon session.

First, (I stole this one from Barry the Brit.)
