WA2K Radio is now on the air

Lord have mercy, edgar. Love that Topsy by Cozy Cole. I know that we visited here when in New York, but I can't remember one moment of it.



I think that's me, second from the left.

Cozy Cole at the Metropole.

Another "top", y'all. Anyone remember Diana Rigg?

I didn't recall Dianna Rigg singing a note. A mild surprise.
Well, here is a song I used to hear on the radio as a kid -

Here is a Beatles song

edgar, I know Why Don't You Haul Off and Love me One More Time, just not by that guy.

Mother Nature's Son is a new one to me, Texas. Thanks for the introduction to that Fab Four Song.

Just gave myself a black eye. What next, Letty.

How about a nice classical piece for the darkening evening.

Somewhere in Time. Love this!

Bon Soir, y'all.

Good evening to you St. George. I know St. James Infirmary, but had no idea that Eric Clapton (Dr. John) did it. I need to search out the real meaning of that song again.

Here's ToTo with a song for you, buddy.

Robbie Williams - Mr. Bojangles.

Didn't know Somewhere in Time by name, letty.
Toto's St George is a new one to me.
Garth Brooks
That Girl is a Cowboy

I like just about every version of Mr Bojangles I have heard.

Hey, Brit. I love Mr. Bojangles by Robbie Williams. I think most of us know that it refers to Bill Robinson. Thanks, buddy.

Well, it's time for me to say goodnight, and I can't think of a guy that I would rather dance with than this Boss.

As always,

From Letty with love and a black eye.

Oops, edgar just snuck in with his marvelous comments on what we play here.

Thanks Texas

Club des Belugas - It Don't Mean A Thing.

Liberace Museum shutting Down
The museum was once one of the most-visited attractions in Las Vegas. But after Sunday, the black mink cape lined with 40,000 Swarovski crystals, the Rolls Royce covered in little mirrors and the mirror-encrusted Baldwin grand will go into storage.

Climbing the apples at 2:30 am with Brenda....

Brenda Boykin - Hard Swing Travellin Man.
Laters WA2K.
Down and gone.
Woosh!

Dark good morning, WA2K folks.

edgar, Thanks for the info on Liberace. Guess his candelabra bit the dust as well.

That Girl is a Cowboy by Garth Brooks was fantastic. Thanks, Texas.

Hey, Brit. It Don't Mean a Thing if You Ain't Got that Swing is great. Remember it by the Duke.

Club des Belugas?



Brenda Boykin's Hard Swing Travelin Man was awesome as well, buddy.

How about a little early morning jazz from London.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY_byFYO8Fo&feature=related

and, y'all, the lyrics.

Softly as in a morning sunrise
The light of love comes stealing
Into a newborn day

Flaming with all the glow of sunrise
A burning kiss is sealing
A vow that all betray

For the passions that thrill love
And take you high to heaven
Are the passions that kill love
And let it fall to hell
So ends the story

Softly as in a morning sunrise
The light that gave you glory
Will take it all away

Beautiful piece of work and meaningful lyrics, Miss Letty.

Not so beautiful, but still:

And a beautiful morning:

Good morning.
I never heard of Brenda Boykins before, but she is great.
Like that Softly as in a Morning Sunrise.

Good afternoon, Francis. So many people have done that tribute to Don McLean. Thanks for The Fugees' version, and thanks for the comment on the jazz version of Softly as in the Morning Sunrise.

Joan Baez's Manha De Carnaval was great, and it matches A Day in the Life of a Fool.

Today is Tim Robbins' birthday, so here is a tribute to him, y'all.

And, a bit of info on the guy.

He is known for his roles as Nuke in Bull Durham, Andy Dufresne in The Shawshank Redemption, and as Dave Boyle in Mystic River, for which he won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

I have that Joan Baez song on one of my collections. I think it's one of her best.

Hey, Texas. Missed you the first time around. Had no idea that Ray Charles' did Ruby. Thanks again for your comments, buddy.
