WA2K Radio is now on the air

Since my hometown is mentioned here (and I've been to most of the other places as well):

edgar, thanks again for your comments. Love that one by Harry and Lena. I think that one was also done by another great performer, but I can't recall who for the moment.

Walter, that was one great song that I know. Your slide show of places in Germany was fantastic. Don't know the performer, however. I do recall the spa Baden Baden, however.

Here's an everywhere man that is a Canuck. Love him, too.

Another great version of that song, walter. Enjoyed it.

The Hank Snow version of I've Been Everywhere, I am pretty certain, is the one I listened to as a boy in California.

The song I played by Harry and Lena was first a hit by Roberta Flack. I consider hers the definitive version.

America
Tin Man

My favorite Beatles song

Thanks again for your comments, edgar. The first time I heard Hank do that one was via a commercial.

Thanks for reminding me of Roberta, and she also did the tribute to Don McLean.

Don't know The Tin Man by America, but liked it. They also did A Horse with No Name.

Ah, The Fab Four. Hey Jude is one of my favorites as well, Texas.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I shall end this special Sunday with two Songs.

First an instrumental of one of my favorites hymns.

The lyrics

All in the April morning,
April airs were abroad;
The sheep with their little lambs
Pass'd me by on the road.

The sheep with their little lambs
Pass'd me by on the road;
All in an April evening
I thought on the Lamb of God.

The lambs were weary, and crying
With a weak human cry;
I thought on the Lamb of God
Going meekly to die.

Up in the blue, blue mountains
Dewy pastures are sweet:
Rest for the little bodies,
Rest for the little feet.

Rest for the Lamb of God
Up on the hill-top green;
Only a cross of shame
Two stark crosses between.

All in the April evening,
April airs were abroad;
I saw the sheep with their lambs,
And thought on the Lamb of God.

Now, the wonderful Handel:

So great having Ireland, Germany, and England with us today.

From Letty with love and a sense of well being.

I love Hallelujah, letty. The hymn was very nicely done.

Good mornin, folks. Got some Brook Benton, with a song from the film, Walk on the Wild Side, with Lawrence Harvey and Jane Fonda.

Good morning (here in Florida) WA2K, folks.

edgar, thanks again for your comments and your goodnight song by The Turtles was great.

Brook Benton's Walk On the Wild Side was fantastic. Love that guy.

hey, Brit. As usual, Mr. laid back Como did a fantastic job with Easter Time and The Easter Parade. Thanks for the memory.

Two songs for the morning here because we have two birthday boys.

First a tribute to Al Pacino.

Now one to a blues man that I don't know, so first some info.

One of the "Three Kings of the Blues Guitar" (along with B. B. King and Freddie King), Albert King stood 6' 4" (192 cm) (some reports say 6' 7") and weighed 250 lbs (118 kg and was known as "The Velvet Bulldozer"). He was born Albert Nelson on a cotton plantation in Indianola, Mississippi. During his childhood he would sing at a family gospel group at a church. One of 13 children, King grew up picking cotton on plantations near Forrest City, Arkansas, where the family moved when he was eight. He began his professional work as a musician with a group called In The Groove Boys in Osceola. He also briefly played drums for Jimmy Reed's band and on several early Reed recordings. Influenced by blues musicians Blind Lemon Jefferson and Lonnie Johnson, but also interestingly Hawaiian music, the electric guitar became his signature instrument, his preference being the Gibson Flying V which he named "Lucy".

I actually like Al better than the movies he makes.
I am not familiar with King, but the tribute makes his music seem good.

Jerry Lee Lewis

My goodness, I was certain that we had lost our signal. Maybe it's because it's Marconi's birthday and he and Necola Tessla were at odds.

Thanks, edgar, you must be magic, and once again we appreciate your comments and Jerry Lee doing Ray Charles.

Here's another birthday boy and he's a former member of ABBA.

Bjorn, happy birthday. Good song.

Judy

Thanks for your comment, Texas. Love Judy Collins and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is wonderful.

Here are the lyrics, edgar, as my equipment doesn't always allow me to hear them properly.

See her HOW she flies
Golden sails across the sky
Close enough to touch
But careful if you try
Though she looks as warm as gold
The moon's a harsh mistress
The moon can be so cold

Once the sun did shine
And lord it felt so fine
The moon a phantom rose
Through the mountains and the pine
And then the darkness fell
The moon's a harsh mistress
It's hard to love her well

I fell out of her eyes
I fell out of her heart
I fell down on my face, yes I did
And I tripped and I missed my star
And I fell and fell alone
The moon's a harsh mistress
The sky is made of stone

The moon's a harsh mistress
She's hard to call your own

Speaking of Luna, here is a great video of a moon cat.

I don't agree with feeding fruit to pets, unless they are birds.

Here is Racing With the Moon

How about a cat named Charlie Bird, edgar.

I think that was supposed to be funny, buddy.

Great one by Vaughn, and thanks.

If you drop the S from this guy, you'll have another Cat, man. Only feature of The Shinning that I zeroed in on.

Here's the same song

I like the Scat man, letty, but that version of Ghost Riders -
