WA2K Radio is now on the air

Anything goes is a great song too, letty. Funny about Les Paul - Young musicians often speak of him with reverence, but have never heard him play. They are actually in awe of his guitar, not the music.

Liza Minnelli live in London.

Good morning. Be back later today.

Good morning, WA2K radio folks.

edgar, loved your goodnight song by Johnny. Time after Time is one of my favorites.

Also like Harry's Try to Remember. Hurry back, Texas, and thanks again for your comments.

Well, here's our Brit back, red nose and all.

Don't know Marlena Shaw, but she does Go Away Little Boy as well as Steve Lawrence did Go Away Little Girl.

Funny, Barry, Liza Liza Liza is great doing London Town. I need to check it out, but I don't think that Cary Grant said, Judy, Judy, Judy.

More synchronicity. Today is Frederick Loewe's birthday so here is a great medley by him.

and one by old blue eyes to match the skies.

A photo of him and his last wife. She called him Jeckyl and Hyde.

Unusual treatment of My Fair Lady music.
Blue Skies is one of those songs I like by about a dozen artists.

Ray Charles

Thanks again for your comments, edgar.

I most certainly know Ray, but didn't know "hyde" nor Hair of my Baby. Mack Rice was great as well, Texas. Don't know him, but he was fantastic.

Today is Don Ho's daughter's birthday, but she is not nearly as interesting as he was. In looking at the history of his illness, it appears that once again the doctors screwed up.

First some info. Talk about ethnicity.

Ho, of Chinese, Hawaiian, Portuguese, Dutch, and German descent, was born in the small Honolulu neighborhood of Kakaʻako, but he grew up in Kāneʻohe on the windward side of the island of Oʻahu. He was a graduate of the Kamehameha Schools in 1949 and he attended Springfield College in 1950, but returned home to earn a bachelor's degree in sociology at University of Hawai'i in 1953. In 1954 Ho entered the United States Air Force doing his basic training at Keesler AFB, Mississippi and spent time flying fighter jets in both Texas and Hawaii. Transferred to Hamilton AFB, California he went to the local town of Concord and bought an electronic keyboard from a music store, and recalls, "That's when it all started."

Now, two of his best remembered songs.

Don Ho was a very good artist.
Here is a song written by Leonard Cohen, but performed by somebody else.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSLoYFJpVBQ

I have no words that will express my feelings for that song, edgar. "..sur la chanson..." is the best that I can say. True Love Leaves no Traces! What a wonderful title.

Don't know Loreena McKennitt, but I do appreciate your introduction to her. Leonard Cohen? What can I say.

Then, Texas, there are those who think differently.

Know this one by The Lettermen. (inspired by The Four Freshmen), but I enjoy hearing new versions.

Bobby Vinton is a wonderful performer. I didn't think so many years ago, but I was given this huge record album by him and as I listened I grew fond of him.

The Brothers Four

edgar, The Green Leaves of Summer is one of my favorites. The Brothers Four are legendary and do a perfect job with their voices. Thanks for the memory, Texas.

I also love Sam Cooke, so here is a summer time song by him.

Great looking guy as well

I too like Sam's records, letty.

Peggy Lee

Never heard that one by Peggy Lee, edgar. It rather reminded me of Elvis' Shake Rattle and Roll, however.

This was inspired by the tsar's thread on movies and movie types. The hosts of TCM were discussing Spencer Tracy, and what a surprise to find that he was in Mad Mad Mad Mad world. One funny film.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057193/

Now the trailer.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH4nVMJEopU

I've seen that movie, plus chunks of it over the years since. One of the few comedies of the sort that holds up.

Johnny Rivers

Wow! I just looked a clip from your Memphis Tennessee video, edgar. Yike! We're so dry here, they're thinking of using the St. John's River as a water source.

Thanks again for your comment, buddy.

Loved Johnny Rivers Hello Operator Give Me Memphis, Tennessee. Maybe we of the dry states need to re locate to the Smokey Mountains.

My grandson from Colorado is here. I may not post so frequently for a few days. I like that one by Ronnie Milsap.

Henry Mancini

I really loved The Last Time I Saw Paris by Henry, edgar.

Guess that I had better say goodnight now.

a new version of Fat's song.

Hope all is well in Dublin and England. Nice to have London with us today.

from Letty with love to the world.

Freedom Blues

Well, my blue heaven is a good good night song, letty. Good night.
