WA2K Radio is now on the air

Ah, edgar, love that Alamo song by The Mills Brothers. Thanks for the comment, buddy. The techie kid from Orlando was here helping resolve some problems in our WA2K studio.

Here's another by the brothers that I had no idea about.

For all of those who are on Leon Russell's island.

Mr Ray

I never heard the Mills sing that one before, letty.

Some more Ray

Ah, Ray's Rain or Shine and Latin George's Hit the Road Jack. Thanks, guys. Love em both.

I just remembered Texas' comment on Walt Whitman's helping fallen soldiers during the Civil/War between the States. He loved Abraham Lincoln and I recall his having written When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloomed. Cavfancier loved Whitman as well.

How about Nat doing Just One of Those Things, y'all.

and to think that gossamer is really composed of spider webs

Great one by Nat. Got one by Bobby

My word, edgar, I had no idea that Bobby sang that one. Great job by him.
Nat is always awesome, right?

Jack Sparrow?

Don't know whose singing this one, however. Don't think it's Johnny Depp.

Robbie Williams on Beyond the Sea.

"Beyond the Sea" is a 1946 contemporary pop song with music taken from the song "La Mer" by Charles Trenet and lyrics by Jack Lawrence.

Trenet had composed "La Mer" (which means "The Sea") with French lyrics totally different and unrelated to the English language version that Lawrence composed. Trenet's French version was an homage and ode to the changing moods of the sea, while Lawrence, by just adding one word "Beyond" to the title, gave him the start whereby he made the song into one of a lover pining for a lost love.[1]

It has been recorded by many artists, including Benny Goodman, Mantovani, Roger Williams and Gisele MacKenzie, but Bobby Darin's version released in 1959 is the best known by many, reaching #6 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song reached the top 40 twice prior to the Darin version (Goodman-1948, Williams-1955).

Jack Jones

Incidentally, I like Johnny Depp, but not all of his films. Tried watching a Jack Sparrow but grew bored with it. He is being rerun in 21 Jump Street on a new local channel.

First, edgar, let me say that Jack Jones doing Sometimes I Hear the Lorelei was fabulous, as were the visuals. Hmmm, wonder where Calamity Jane and Ursula are. We know they are German sirens.

Thanks for your comment about Johnny, buddy will check out Jump Street. I think most of us know that Charles Trenet wrote the song that inspired so many others to adapt it for Beyond the Sea.I love his version as well. I guess the bruise on my nose kept me from reading about who sang that one, Texas.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I think that I shall do so with another sea song. The Bells are calling them, y'all.

The bed is calling me.

Goodnight everyone.

From Letty with love

'Nite, Letty!

Not sure everyone was aware that Beyond the Sea tells a different story than La Mer is all.

Nice Bells song, letty. Good night all.

Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise!

Well, WA2K folks, I'm not a man; I'm not particularly healthy; I'm certainly not wealthy, but wise about some things.

edgar, thanks for the comment on The Bells of St. Mary's. I love that song. You're right about the iteration of La Mer. We all need to be reminded of pertinent facts occasionally.

Today is George C. Scott's birthday. He is one of the finest actors I have ever seen. It seems, however, that he had some stability problems. I think all super talented people do at times.

Salute, George

Interesting October trivia, y'all.

This OCT. has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays, all in 1 month. It
happens once in 823 years.

As far as I'm concerned, I doubt of the latter..

Good morning.
George C Scott had a number of wonderful roles. I loved many of his films, starting with Dr Strangelove and Patton, but encompassing others too. I even watched his ill fated TV series, in which he played a fictional president of the United States.
I love the Johnny Mathis song, Francis.
Well, I will see you later on the radio. Have a good un.

Miss Letty did write that, didn't she.

I love that song by Johnny as well, Francis

Hurry back, edgar. Thanks for the comment on George. His role in The Changeling was outstanding as well.

Here's a great one by Judy. It's a philosophy unto itself.

Afternoon jazz session now.

Today is his birthday and this guy is fabulous.

The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything

The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love

[instrumental interlude]

I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love

I love Judy Collins. I bought that song (the album) the week it was released and still have my copy.
I like Wynton too. Haven't heard him that much.
Here is a guy I am fond of also

Thanks again for the comments, edgar. My word, What a great tribute to Ringo. Love Buck Owens, and Act Naturally is one of my favorites, too.

Strange, I just did a song that told a story in your forum and recently found out that George C. Scott starred in the movie version.

Ah, shucks, I thought you and the Brit might want to know what condition my condition was in. My left eye (not my left foot) is healing nicely.

My air condition's condition better be good for a long time. grrrrr.
