WA2K Radio is now on the air

well, folks, this has been one of those dearth days.

Thanks, edgar, for Johnny's Wonderful. Love it, of course.

Saying goodnight with two songs.

First Steve McQueen's version of The Thomas Crown affair inspired by edgar's alternative medicine's forum.

and the lyrics.

Round, like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel.
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever spinning wheel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnaval balloon
Like a carousell that's turning
Running rings around the moon

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on it's face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of it's own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream.

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on it's face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind


Now a tribute to Glen Ford whose birthday is today.

Nice music in the Thomas Crown video. I appreciate the Glenn Ford tribute. I enjoyed many of his movies.

Georgie Fame - Do Re Mi.

Good morning. I have a busy day ahead. Will be back sometime today.

Great goodnight song, edgar. Pledging by Roy Hamilton was great and thanks again for your comments. Hurry back, buddy and don't over do.

Ah, ehBeth. Jazz is my favorite genre of music, and that lovely song Fragile is truly great. I noticed that Holly Cole did is as well. Thanks, canajun.

Brit, Georgie Fame's Do Re Me was fantastic. I'm certain that you liked it because of the scooters. Thanks, buddy.

Speaking of jazz, today is Bud's birthday so here is a group that he introduced me to so long ago.

The Four Freshmen.

The Kingston Trio

Welcome back, Texas, and thanks for your comment on The Freshmen.

Don't know that jail song by The Kingston Trio, but I remember "Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley".

How about some brass, buddy.

I like the"Brass" when they play like that. Don't get too excited when Herb starts to croon.

Buddy Greco

Thanks again for your comment, edgar.

Wow! That Buddy Greco's Dinner Club medley was fantastic. Thanks for the introduction.

Time for me to say good night, and I think that I shall do so with a classical piece and the song taken from it.

The lady that sings Tonight We Love is new to me, so here's a little info concerning her.

Caterina Valente (born 14 January 1931, Paris) is a singer, dancer, and actress. She was born into an Italian artist family; her father Giuseppe was a well-known accordion player, her mother, Maria Valente, a musical clown. She had three siblings, of whom Silvio Francesco was also active in show business.

First, the classical

Now, Caterina.

So nice to have London and Canada with us.

From Lady Letty with love

I like that music and the song, letty. I have not heard Caterina Valente's voice in many years. I had forgotten about her, until tonight.

Very windy here in London Town for the past few days....

Light Of The World - London Town.

Yeah, windy. And dry.

We'll turn into the Sahara Desert soon, and I'll be the Sheikh of Araby.

Good EARLY morning, WA2K folks.

edgar, loved your night songs. Slim Harpo's Baby Scratch My Back was great as was Raining in My Heart. Don't know him, but thanks for the introduction. Faye Adams' Shake a Hand was good as well, Texas. Sleep well, and hurry back.

Well, look at this. Hey, McTag and Barry. Good to see you guys "together again". The Paris' Ace of Spades and Light of the World's London Town, was fantastic. Great jazz with a London beat. Thanks for the introduction.

More synchronicity. Today is Mary Hopkin's birthday and guess what she's singing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ib0FGy6w0E&feature=related

That's only about the third song I hve heard by Mary, letty. She is a good artist.

Good morning. I am at the job site already. I will sit back until 7:30 and then get sarted.

edgar, I remember Mary best for Those Were the Days.

Are you started yet, Texas? Today is James Brown's birthday so let's get everyone up and dancing.

Two of my favorites by "The Godfather of Soul"

Ah, thinking of the Japanese man that told me "funky" meant tacky on purpose.
