WA2K Radio is now on the air

That`s Wally Koster -- He was host of the Great Canadian Hit Parade in the 50s.

Here is a French Italian.

Well, edgar, I would never have guessed that was someone named Wally. Thanks, buddy.

I love that one by Deano. It's so good. I checked on the lovely lady, and it seems she is Jewish. Great!

How about a tango on an Italian Isle.

The lyrics

twas on the Isle of Capri that I found her
Beneath the shade of an old walnut tree
Oh, I can still see the flow'rs bloomin' round her
Where we met on the Isle of Capri

She was as sweet as a rose at the dawning
But somehow fate hadn't meant her for me
And though I sailed with the tide in the morning
Still my heart's on the Isle of Capri

Summertime was nearly over
Blue Italian sky above
I said "Lady, I'm a rover,
Can you spare a sweet word o'love?"

She whispered softly "It's best not to linger"
And then as I kissed her hand I could see
She wore a lovely meatball on her finger
'twas goodbye at the Villa Capri

Van again

I like Isle of Capri, letty. Never heard it done like that.

Thanks again for your comment, Texas. Loved Van telling Jackie to live or was that LIVE? Ah, the homonyms of the English language.

Saying goodnight with two songs.

First Jackie.

Now, since it is Thomas Jefferson's birthday, a tribute to a man who did what he and to do and did it rather well.

From Letty with love to everyone, everywhere.

I like most anything by Jackie Wilson.
Jefferson of course was as great as a man can be, in our history. Over the past few years I have come to admire John Adams more and more.

Jurassic Park - End Theme.
This is the part of the movie that most people miss 'cause they're in a hurry to get home.
Laters WA2K.

Good morning. Thursdays are almost as lame as Mondays through Wednesdays. I shall return, later.

Good morning from Florida, WA2K folks.

edgar, thanks for the take on John Adams. He and Tom didn't agree on everything, but he was a good man.

Hurry back, Texas. (hmmm, I'm going to speak with our editor about the errors in the transcript; that should have been "..he did what he HAD to do..."

You hurry back, too, Brit.

Norah and Willie said it right. I Can Hear Music was a good one. Don't know Ronnie Spector, but she was quite good. Thanks for the introduction.

Ah, buddy, I recall quite well the end theme to Jurassic Park. Thanks for the memory.

Today is Richie Blackmore's birthday, and I thought we would play one in his former days, and one in his latter.

Now, his later days.

The lyrics

The valley green was so serene
In the middle ran a stream so blue...
A maiden fair, in despair, once had met her true love there and she told him...
She would say...
"Promise me, when you see, a white rose you'll think of me
I love you so,
Never let go,
I will be your ghost of a rose..."

Her eyes believed in mysteries
She would lay amongst the leaves of amber
Her spirit wild, heart of a child, yet gentle still and quiet and mild and he loved her...
When she would say...
"Promise me, when you see, a white rose you'll think of me
I love you so,
Never let go,
I will be your ghost of a rose..."

When all was done, she turned to run
Dancing to the setting sun as he watched her
And ever more he thought he saw
A glimpse of her upon the moors forever
He'd hear her say...
"Promise me , when you see, a white rose you'll think of me
I love you so,
Never let go,
I will be your ghost of a rose..."

Beach time comin' up shortly, Letty;
does yourYellow Polka Dot Bikini still fit?

Oh, to be in Florida now....(wish-wish)....

Funny, neko. I love that song. Unfortunately, I would turn blue before I went in the ocean here. We're having temperature swings and the wind is out of the north today. Love your approach to "Oh, to be in England now that April's there", buddy. The ocean here is lovely , however, but I don't often go to the beach alone.

Oh, to be in Kokomo.

re Richie Blackmore, I liked the Ghost of a Rose; not so much the first song.
Polka Dot Bikini - I remember that one well.
I don't want to be in Kokomo. I prefer

Ah, edgar, I love that version of Chicago by "old blue eyes".

How about Africa?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivYIR-nazXA&feature=related

I have heard Toto sing Africa enough times now that I can't recall who originally did it.

Nicaragua

I am mistaken, re Toto. I see a member of their band wrote it, even.

Fabulous, edgar. As you know that is where my present doctor is from. I assumed that a member of the band wrote it. Doesn't matter.

Sorry, buddy, but I'm on an African kick

Loved all those Tarzan movies. What a surprise when I discovered that another Edgar wrote this.

Tarzan is a fictional character, an archetypal feral child raised in the African jungles by the Mangani "great apes"; he later returns to civilization only to largely reject it and return to the wild as a heroic adventurer. Created by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Tarzan first appeared in the novel Tarzan of the Apes (magazine publication 1912, book publication 1914), and then in twenty-five sequels, three authorized books by other authors, and innumerable works in other media, authorized or not.

Lord Greystoke?

I know and love that one by Paul Anka. Here is one of my favorite South Africans

You sent me searching again, edgar . Grazing in the Grass was awesome and so jazz like. Thanks again for your comment.

Masekela was born in Kwa-Guqa Township, Witbank, South Africa. He began singing and playing piano as a child. At age 14, after seeing the film Young Man With a Horn (in which Kirk Douglas plays a character modeled after American jazz trumpeter Bix Beiderbecke), he took up playing the trumpet. His first trumpet was given to him by Archbishop Trevor Huddleston, the anti-apartheid chaplain at St. Peter's Secondary School. Wow!

Well, I've never been to Spain, but here is one place that I would like to go.

For a long time I wanted to be like the American expatriates in Paris.
