WA2K Radio is now on the air

Thanks for keeping up on the air, guys.

Irish, True Colors by Cyndi was great as was Bette Davis Eyes. Our edgar has commented on all your songs, but I was especially impressed with Roberta's Killing me Softly. I think most of us know it was a tribute to Don McLean.

Some info on that song:


I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To listen for a while....

Most people would be able to recognise that verse right away. Anyone within earshot of a radio or a jukebox over the last few months couldn’t miss hearing Roberta flack’s beautiful version of it, done with style and taste and just the right amount of world-weariness. She does it so well that any listener would think the song had been written just for her. But, oh, how wrong they would be!

The words were written by Norman Gimbel and set to music by Charles Fox, tailored specifically for the gentle unaffected voice of a young folk singer from the West Coast named Lori Leiberman. And what’s more the feelings described in it were Lori’s true feelings; the story is hers and the mood and thoughts were hers too. Even the first recording of the song was hers, though it was not until Roberta Flack cut her version that it became an international hit.recording of the song was hers, though it was not until Roberta Flack cut her version that it became an international hit.

edgar, Never heard that version of I'll Take Romance. Marvelous by Clarmae

The Ramones' California Sun was also good. Tom Dooley is one that I know, buddy. I truly enjoyed that one by Marty Robbins and Keely and Louis doing Don't Worry About Me was a version of that one that I didn't know. Thanks, Texas.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I think that I shall do so with two songs.

First, one that I love by The Doobie Brothers.

Now a new discovery by a boy that sounds like a gal. It's lovely, however.

Nice to see London and Dublin with us today.

From Letty with love to the world

Listen to the music is a good song.
Hearing your second song makes me think of a Jimmy who sings very well, but might be mistaken for being female.

Simon & Garfunkel - Baby Driver.

My Daddy was the family bassman
My Mamma was an engineer
And I was born one dark gray morn
With music coming in my ears
In my ears.

They call me Baby Driver
And once upon a pair of wheels
Hit the road and I`m gone ah
What`s my number
I wonder how your engine feels.
Ba ba ba ba
Scoot down the road
What`s my number
I wonder how your engine feels.

My Daddy was a prominent frogman
My Mamma`s in the Naval reserve
When I was young I carried a gun
But I never got the chance to serve
I did not serve.

They call me Baby Driver
And once upon a pair of wheels
Hit the road and I`m gone ah
What`s my number
I wonder how your engine feels.
Ba ba ba ba
Scoot down the road
What`s my number
I wonder how your engine feels.

My Daddy got a big promotion
My Mamma got a raise in pay
There`s no-one home,we`re all alone
Oh come into my room and play
Yes we can play.

I`m not talking about your pigtails
But I`m talking `bout your sex appeal
Hit the road and I`m gone ah
What`s my number
I wonder how your engine.
Ba ba ba ba
Scoot down the road
What`s my number
I wonder how your engine feels.

Still dark here, WA2K folks, but sometimes I like it that way.

Hurry back, edgar. Don't know Jimmy's version of Funny How Time Slips Away. He does sound a bit girlish, but I like that song.

Hey, Brit. Welcome back. Never heard Baby Driver by Simon and Garfunkel. Great one and thanks for the introduction.

Today is Lena Horne's birthday. Here is a great one by the lady.

Mambo Italiano - (Club des belugas remix) Dean Martin.

Good morning. Simon and Garfunkle, Lena Horne and Deano are among my favorite artists. The Mambo remix makes it a different song for me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UYfgIualkw
Johnny Mathis

Ah, Love Mambo Italiano by Deano, Brit.

edgar Call Me by Johnny was great. The reference to two guitars in the comments reminded me of this one.

Here's a lullaby from
my lookalike-and with my voice- from yesteryear, Letty.

Good Day Yawl.....
Some great music on offer I see.
Loved the The Bohemian Quartet. Listen To The Music by
the Doobie Brothers is a classic.
Enjoyed Johnny Mathis and Jimmy Elledge, (maybe he's a eunuch )
A Happy Birthday to Lena Horne, RIP.
Enjoyed Simon & Garfunkel - Baby Driver and Sympatico by Neko's
lookalike Dean.
Here's two ladies who sound like..well, ladies

Viola Wills - Gonna get along without you now.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=746lOmgpw74

Cindy Lauper- Time after Time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMG1YLnEzyg

Touche monsieur pussycat. That means welcome back, neko. Funny, you don't look eyetalian.

sympatico is great by Deano. Here's my lookalike and with my voice from yesteryear.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiOYsnET6Iw

ah, missed our Irishman. Back later to acknowledge.

Hey, Irish. Thanks again for your comments. Don't know Viola Wills but she is quite ladylike. Know that song, but to a different melody. Need to check that out.

Great one by Cindy, and Time After Time I also know but with another melody.

Hi Miss Letty, lovely song by Diana.

Have to go out for a while, I'll leave you with Billy Paul.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBiEJomxy_U

Another Diana.....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GtyMeEcPPE

Irish, loved Billy Paul's Me and Mrs. Jones.

Ah, Diana Ross of the Supremes. Love that Upside Down, buddy.

One to match Bill Paul's.

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

And, Diana Ross did a movie of Billie Holiday called Lady Sings the Blues.

Don't think it was an accurate account, however

Paul Young --- Wherever I Lay My Hat.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrO2uVSXFkk

I remember seeing "The Lady Sings the Blues", but it was
a long time ago.
That was a surprisingly nice piece from Robbie.

I'll be back later Miss Letty, till then here's Van the Man.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFF1wJN75Z0

Slide your glass this way,Letty. Take
another sip and squint harder at my last post.
See? You'd think Deano was my separated twin.

Now _ don't deny you could pass as

...
Julie London

Hurry back, Irish. Thanks again for your comments.

Ah, Van the Man. Love that Irish troubadour. Have I told You Lately That I Love you was great and a different melody from the other song. Incidentally, buddy, you sent me to the archives again.

Paul Young (17 June 1947 – 15 July 2000) was an English singer and percussionist who worked with several successful bands. He initially came to prominence as the lead singer of chart band Sad Café, and later enjoyed further chart success sharing lead vocal duties with Paul Carrack in Mike + The Mechanics. He died too young.

Today is Leonard Whiting's birthday, and I recall him best for having been Romeo.

neko, you are funny today. I'll have to take another look at Deano and Julie. Then I'll Cry you A river and blame it on the bottle

Here he is with a song and scenes from Romeo and Juliet.

When I taught the bard, the students always thought that "...Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo..." meant where are you. It simply means WHY are you Romeo.

You're right. He does look like your cat.

put this on the answer to euro and a birthday boy.

neko, you are funny today. I'll have to take another look at Deano and Julie. Then I'll Cry you A river and blame it on the bottle

See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!

Forsooth, fair Juliet! Wouldst thou likest yon hot chocolate?
