WA2K Radio is now on the air

Good to see you back in our studio, edgar. There really was a Clayton Delaney. He was a teenager who died of a lung infection.

Thanks again for your comments, Texas. Really like A Lover's Question by Clyde McPhatter.

Bet you and our British buddies will recognize this soft jazz instrumental, but just in case you don't, I'll provide the lyrics.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykBtn6pabBQ


I've grown accustomed to her face
She almost makes the day begin
I've grown accustomed to the tune she whistles night and noon
Her smiles, her frowns, her ups, her downs

Are second nature to me now
Like breathing out and breathing in
I was serenely independent and content before we met
Surely I could always be that way again and yet
I've grown accustomed to her looks, accustomed to her voice
Accustomed to her face



I'm very grateful she's a woman and so easy to forget
Rather like a habit one can always break and yet
I've grown accustomed to the trace of something in the air
Accustomed to her face

Oops, Missed your Elvis Trilogy. Back later to comment.

"What time is it by my brand new, shiny watch?" or words to that effect - John Wayne - She Wore A yellow Ribbon.
Love John Wayne films!

Letty, how is it that you possibly thought that I was NOT a Brit?
I suppose that you could call me a temporary (probably permanent) ex pat, but I'll always hanker after a pint of warm IPA and a plate of fish and chips.

edgar, amazed that "The King" sang Dixie Land in such a sad and wistful way.

Old Goat. Did you know that song from My Fair Lady?

When I was a kid, I thought that fish and chips meant "potato chips".

Here's a montage of Westerns.

Letty, there is a very famous old music hall song about fish and chips, but for the life of me I can't find anywhere with the tune.
I found the lyrics though, and it was recorded by Jack Wild, of artful dodger fame, and a guy called Nicholas Paul.
I'll keep trying, but for now here's the lyrics...

OL' HENRY'S FISH AND CHIPS.

(slow talky bit)
My Uncle Henry's got a shop down the High Street
With marble on the counter and a big glass door
My Uncle Henry's very famous down the High Street
So let me tell you what he's very famous for.
He found one day his customers was getting thin

They'd pass h'is fish and chip shop but they'd not go in
So Uncle stepped outside, threw back his head and cried
In a voice as loud as sin……….

(loud and fast chorus)
OH!.....Haddock or Cod or Sprats or Hake,
Filleted Dover Sole
Kippers or Scampi, Plaice or Skate,
Mackerel by the shoal
I tell yer everything's fresh and newly fried
Hot to the finger tips,
You've not eaten till you've tried
Old Henry's Fish and Chips! Oi!

(slow talky bit again)
Soon, Uncle Henry was attracting a crowd there,
All sorts of funny people like you never saw!
But when they heard me Uncle shouting out aloud there,
They come to see what all the blinkin' noise was for.
From Acton Town to `Ackney Wick an' all around,
They flocked to Uncle's like it was a football ground.
A fish he didn't sell, but still they paid him well,
Just to hear his great new sound……….

(fast chorus)
OH!......Haddock or Cod or Sprats or Hake,
Filleted Dover Sole
Kippers or Scampi, Plaice or Skate,
Mackerel by the shoal
I tell yer everything's fresh and newly fried
Hot to the finger tips,
You've never eaten till you've tried
Old Henry's Fish and Chips! Oi!

Now Uncle Henry's clientele, they inform us,
Includes eleven Ministers and one MP.
Dukes and their Duchesses in numbers quite enormous,
And chinless Debs who'd end you up the family tree!
When questioned by reporters on `is great success
He never makes a speech, He merely says "I guess
It's just because me voice is everybody's choice
(Spoken) Would you like to hear it?" ………Yes!
(Spoken ) "I thought you might"

OH OH O-O-O-H!......Haddock or Cod or Sprats or Hake,
Filleted Dover Sole
Kippers or Scampi, Plaice or Skate,
Mackerel by the shoal
I tell yer everything's fresh and newly fried
Hot to the finger tips,
You've never eaten till you've tried
Old Henry's Fish and Chips! Oi!


(even faster)
Haddock or Cod or Sprats or Hake,
Filleted Dover Sole
Kippers or Scampi, Plaice or Skate,
Mackerel by the shoal
I tell yer everything's fresh and newly fried
Hot to the finger tips,
You've never eaten till you've tried
Old Henry's Fish and Chips! OI!

I saw at least 85 of those westerns and could name other listed besides.

Here is a theme from another western.

I like that treatment of I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face.

Hi WA2K, yes it's an 80's flashback. (Duck sucker )
OMD, my absolute favourite band of the 80's.

OMD, walking on the milky way.
One Liverpool band paying tribute to another Liverpool band.

OMD, enola gay.

edgar, thanks again for your comments.

Old Goat, Old Henry's Fish and Chips was great. Wish you could have found the music to it.

Wow! edgar, that Man from The Alamo in German was fantastic. Don't know it, but thanks for the introduction.

Irish, don't know OMD, but I especially liked Walking on the Milky Way. A great tribute to the fab four. The Enola Gay was good as well.

The first time that I had fish and chips was in Virginia Beach. H.Salt, I think it was called. DELICIOUS!

Here's one I'll bet all of us know.

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

I tried to find the one by Monty Python, however. Funny the bit thrown in about the Irish bit. Love it.

There you are.

Jack Wild, Fish n Chips.....(i'm hungry now)

Lovely coconuts in my vase
To nicely decorate the place

I likes fish and chips me own self. In Texas, we have chip contests. Not potatoes, cow chips. See how far one can fling them.

and now ---

"sing a bop bop aboopa lopa lum bam boom" I cant even say it, never mind
sing it.

My fav.. Monty Python song.

Good night Yawl.

edgar, Love The Flying Purple People Eater.

Hey, Irish. I think you may have been thinking of this. Goodnight to you, too.

A-bop-bop, a-loo-mop, a-lop-bop-bop
Tutti Frutti, all rootie
Tutti Frutti, all rootie
Tutti Frutti, all rootie
Tutti Frutti, all rootie
Tutti Frutti, all rootie
A-bop-bop, a-loo-mop, a-lop-bop-bop

Ah, I loved The Galaxy Song by Monty Python.

I recall reading the book The Spy who Came in From the Cold by John Le Carre, and then I ran across "The Spy who came in for a cold one"

Remember Cheers?

Saying goodnight with two songs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GmK7m8dOi0&NR=1

And Emerson.

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

so great to see England, Canada, Australia, and Ireland with us today.

To all of you from Lady Letty with love,

I still watch the occasional episode of Cheers.
Used to read Emerson a lot. That's a beautiful video of Universal Beauty

good night

Morning Ms Letty (thanks for the link to the animal pics :-) ),Ed and all WA2K peeps.Kicking off with a breakfast tune....

Willie Mitchell - Percolatin'.

Moving on to Port Isaac in Cornwall for a sing along....

Fisherman's Friends - No Hopers,Jokers And Rogues.

Come, all you no hopers,
you jokers and rogues
we're on the road to nowhere,
let's find out where it goes
It might be a ladder to the stars, who knows
Come, all you no hopers,
you jokers and rogues.

Leave all your furrows in the fields where they lie
Your factories and offices;
kiss them all goodbye
Have a little faith in the dream maker in the sky
There's glory in believing him
and it's all in the beholder's eye.

Come, all you no hopers,
you jokers and rogues
we're on the road to nowhere,
let's find out where it goes
It might be a ladder to the stars, who knows
Come, all you no hopers,
you jokers and rogues.

Turn off your engines and slow down your wheels
Suddenly your master plan loses its appeal
Everybody knows that this reality's not real
So raise a glass to all things past and celebrate how good it feels.

Come, all you no hopers,
you jokers and rogues
we're on the road to nowhere,
let's find out where it goes
It might be a ladder to the stars, who knows
Come, all you no hopers,
you jokers and rogues.

Awash on the sea of our own vanity
We should rejoice in our individuality
Though it's gale force, let's steer a course for sanity

Come, all you no hopers,
you jokers and rogues
we're on the road to nowhere,
let's find out where it goes
It might be a ladder to the stars, who knows
Come, all you no hopers,
you jokers and rogues.
Come, all you no hopers,
you jokers and rogues
we're on the road to nowhere,
let's find out where it goes
It might be a ladder to the stars, who knows
Come, all you no hopers,
you jokers and rogues.

Goodnight, edgar. Loved that Hand Me Down My Walkin' Cane by Jerry Lee.

Hey, Brit. Fantastic song by Willie Mitchell. Percolatin' reminds me of "..java jive.."

I especially enjoyed The Fisherman's Friends' No Hopers, Jokers, and Rogues.

Glad that you appreciate Reyn's nephews photos.

Inspired by our edgar, Here's the Rubberband Man.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jte7Jhii4e0

and once again, inspired by Without a Trace.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKrceZxL8r8

I slept well last evening. Seven hours is what I require.

Good morning. It rained in our area. Not a drop hit us, however.
Didn't see how I provoked a song about rubberbands, until the guy started singing.
Coldplay song is one I had not heard before.
