WA2K Radio is now on the air

Thanks, edgar, for your memorial to Jim Reeves. May the Good Lord Bless and Keep you was perfect. Sorry about the gal with The Marvelettes. I always liked Wait a Minute Mr. Postman. Hurry back, Texas. Glad that you enjoyed my goodnight songs, buddy.

Always good to see our Brit here. (You hurry back as well)

Sam Cooke is a favorite of mine, but Doris Troy's version of The Beatles' Get Back to Where you once Belong was fantastic. I remember it best by Billy Preston. Didn't know that Lou Rawls was in the background on that one by Sam.

Today is Sarah McLachlan's birthday, and here is an unusual presentation featuring the love between Lancelot and Guinevere.

Been doing some research on Lewis Carroll. He appears to be a man of mystery.

Here's the real Alice.

Sarah does a fine job of it there, letty.
It somehow seems unfitting that Alice Liddell survived well into the 20TH Century. I always think of her as being from the 19TH Century exclusively.

edgar, you would be amazed at the things I found out about Lewis Carroll. When I was a kid and read Through the Looking Glass and the Wonderland one, I became Alice.

Thanks for that one by Neil, buddy, and the comment on Sarah.

Another birthday boy. First, a little info.

Here is Covenant Woman

I like that one by Bob, edgar. Never heard it before, but Covenant Woman was really good.

Today is Alan Alda's birthday, and although we may remember him best for Mash, I was a bit surprised to find out that he can sing. Maybe I just forgot.He plays piano, too? Wow!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8POs6EqWF04

Don't recall hearing Alan sing before. I have a great deal of affection for the guy.

Here is Teach Your Children Well

Love Teach Your Children by Crosby Stills and Nash, edgar. Thanks for the memory.

Today is Arthur Rubinstein's birthday, so how about a little classical for the afternoon.

Hi. Wandering through. A request:
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised is from Gil Scott-Heron (1970) and relates to Hugo Chavez.
I brought it up on the Obama 2008 thread with reference to the turmoil in Tunisia and now Egypt.

Welcome back, John of Virginia. Is this the one you were looking for?

Thanks for Rubinstein's Liszt music, letty.

Got Billy J Kramer and Little Children

Howdy rjb.

Oops. Yes, that was the video I was I was thinking of. There is a documentary film involving Hugo Chavez called The Revolution Will Be Televised.
What brought it to mind for me was a series of tweets or something written over the past few days by (I assume) a young woman in Cairo. She is no longer able to post but while she was she wrote fairly often about events in Egypt where I spent a couple of months years ago.
Sorry to send yall on a troubling digression.

Edgar, Love that one by Billy Jo Krammer; however you sent me to the archives again. Thanks for your comment on Arthur, buddy.

Billy J. Kramer (born William Howard Ashton, 19 August 1943, Bootle, Liverpool, England) is a former British Invasion/Merseybeat singer. In sharing Brian Epstein as a manager with The Beatles he enjoyed access to the songwriting of Lennon and McCartney, recording several of their original compositions.

No problem, RJB. We're here to help.

Another revolution, folks.

I love virtually anything by the Beatles, (just a few exceptions not worth noting).

Look out any window

Yep, edgar, I'm with you. Not all of the Fab Four's songs are perfect.

Look Out Any Window was great. Don't know Bruce Hornsby, but I noticed he is a Virginia guy. Thanks for the introduction.

Here's a painter that I never understood, but since it's his birthday, let's listen and watch a tribute to Jackson.

Hi Miss Letty, Ed & all at WA2K,
Everybody keeping well I hope. I've been up in wilds of
Donegal all week, working on a new build for a friend.
I'm a bit tired now but I'll be on tomorrow to listen to
some good sounds. Till then, Take care y'all.

Wow! Just glad that you are all right, Irish. Loved the travelogue. Breath taking. You hurry back as well.

Well, time for me to say good night and in honor of the Irish, two songs.

goodnight to you, too, dear edgar.

Nice to have London and Dublin with us.

From Letty with love

I haven't given Pollock a lot of attention. His work does not grab me. I appreciate the video by euro and the two Irish songs.
Saying good night and playing one last by Matt Monroe.

Lou Rawls - It Was A Very Good Year

Really enjoyed the two Irish songs, Miss Letty, especially
the Lullaby by Nicolette Larson, lovely song.
Nice song by Matt Monroe, Ed and by Lou Rawls, Barry.

Mundy......July.
