WA2K Radio is now on the air

Hurry back, edgar. Thanks again for your comments.

Ah, I just looked out my studio window and saw butterfly's everywhere on my hibiscus bush. Somehow, it reminded me of this beautiful opera.

And, of course, the aria.

I appreciate both butterfly videos, letty.

Johnny Cash

Thanks again for your comments, Texas. That Bad Humor Man was funny, and Johnny's Prayer of Thanksgiving was very touching.

Here's another one who imitates someone, edgar.

Remember when Sammy Davis sang like Nat?

Guess who this guy is imitating. Don't know this group, but I chose it for that reason.

He does a credible imitation, letty. While he was singing, I was thinking, "We only need one singer who sings like that."

Love that one by the "red man", edgar. Yep, I got company comin' as well. You, of course, knew stachmo.

It's gonna take all of me and more to get the feast going.

All of Me - a great song - good version
Here is the flip side of Day - O

Ah, Star O is a great version of Harry's Day O, edgar. Thanks for that one.

Dusty skies for these boys, however.

They are really good; their harmony is fantastic

I don't know those guys, but I like those old songs.

The Steve Miller Band

Don't know Ooo Poo Pa Do by the S.M band, edgar. Not bad, however.

I really love Stan Getz and the bird man, but sometimes their jazz strays a bit far from the melody.

Lyrics:

Love is like a never ending melody,

Poets have compared it to a symphony,

A symphony conducted by the lighting of the moon,

But our song of love is slightly out of tune . . . .



Once your kisses raised me to a fever pitch,

Now the orchestration doesnt seem so rich,

Seems to me youve changed the tune we used to sing,

Like the bossa nova love should swing . . . .



We used to harmonize two souls in perfect time,

Now the song is different and the words dont even rhyme,

Cause you forgot the melody our hearts would always croon,

What goods a heart thats slightly out of tune?



Tune your heart with mine the way it used to be,

Join with me in harmony and sing a song of love,

Were bound to get in tune again before too long,

Therell be no Desafinado when your heart belongs to me completely

Then you wont be slightly out of tune, youll sing along with me!



Music by Antonio Carlos Jobim

The studio version of Oo Papa Do is much better.
I like the one with Stan Getz -

of which I'm certain

I listened to "The King" do My Way twice, edgar. Odd, I liked it better than Frank's version. I really don't think that Elvis should have died. Somebody goofed again. That brought a tear to my eye, Texas

If you say the studio version was better, buddy, then it was.

Thinking of Glenn tonight. It seems as though the "good guys" don't always win.

You always comment, and it makes WA2K seem REAL

I like Glenn a lot, too. My daughter gave me a CD of his greatest hits. So, I was listening to Southern Nights only last week.

A Thanksgiving song that we sang in grade school.

Oh, my gawd, edgar. I remember that song quite well. The beat that I remember was a bit different, and a mite more brisk. Thanks for the memory, buddy.

A little blue tonight. Just found out that one of my colleagues died. She had been ill for a long time. Now there is only one remaining son, and he is a priest. Really like him.

Nothing from mapleleaf either.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I think that I shall do so with this song by Sam.

Thanks, Texas. Glenn is one of the good guys.

From Letty with love to the world.

Sam Cooke is another great one, to me. I like that song a lot too.
Here is a lady I love

George Winston.

Moving over to the Odd News Desk - most people have a hobby but this is taking things to the extreme....

What a brew-ha-ha: Wife buys beer-collecting book for husband... who then spends 35 years filling their home with 6,788 cans.

It is the dream of millions of men to live in a house filled to the brim with beer cans.

For Nick West, that dream is a reality, even if all the tins are empty.

The Lloyds Bank worker, 51, has a collection of 6,788 British beer cans in his home in Clevedon, North Somerset.

He even forked out £1,240 for one of the first cans produced in Britain, a half-pint of Felinfoel pale ale from a brewery in South Wales.

His obsession stems back to Christmas 1975 when his future wife Deborah bought him a book about collecting beer cans when they were both 16.

Mr West said: 'Deborah sort of encouraged me and has regretted it ever since. She wasn't very happy when we had to move house to find somewhere bigger for the collection.'She said that if we had stayed where we were, we would have paid off the mortgage by now.'

The West family's last home had to have an extension built to house the ever-growing collection.

Mary O'Lanza was a top dude in his day. ('50s, I remember them well!)

Good Thanksgiving morning, radioland.
