Elvis Presley - Let Your Self Go.
Laters WA2K.
Woosh.

Good morning, radiofolk. Busy day ahead. barry, I don't recall that Elvis song. Thanks for the introduction. See ya all later on the radio.

Good morning, WA2K folks.

edgar, The Only Living Boy in New York was great. Didn't know that one by S&G.

You and our Brit hurry back.

Brit, The Sun Sent me a ray was timely, as was Marvin Gaye's two versions of the same song.

Like edgar, I don't know that one by Elvis either.

More synchronicity.

From the Commodores, Nightshift. It's a tribute to Marvin and Jackie.

First the song.

Now one by Jackie.

Good afternoon. Jackie Wilson is one of my best favorite artists. Higher and Higher was one of his best selling songs, but I prefer something like this from him:

Nightshift is a nice one too.

Wow! Thanks, edgar, for restoring our signal. I don't know that one by Jackie, but it's a good one. Thanks again for your comment.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are back in business and trending, so here is one by them.

Don't know much about Red Hot Chili Peppers, letty.

The Chordettes

Don't know that one by The Chordettes, edgar. I recall Mr. Sandman, however. They were good. Incidentally, I liked that old one about the coyote because it was done in the native language. I recall "shape shifting" and I loved native American stories.

I recall this guy best for I Put A Spell on you, but since today is his birthday, let's listen to this one and we'll understand where the was called Screaming.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNjD9DYp33g&feature=related

I would like Hawkins if he sang it straight. Disconcerting to jar the sensibilities like that.

Got Marty doing a Hank Williams song

Waltz of the Wind was great, edgar, had no idea that Hank Williams did that one. I agree about Screamin' Jay Hawkins, however.

Another birthday girl. Martha Reeves and The Vandellas.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGgRfSB4CmQ&feature=related

I used to listen to Martha quite a bit, letty.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag2gtYFkjuc
I listened to this guy more

I know how much you like Jerry Lee, edgar. Don't know As Long As I live, however.

Today is Red Skelton's birthday. Here is a tribute to him.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUDK72KePDA

My best memory of Red Skelton is listening to his radio show as a kid. I particularly liked his portrayal of Junior, the "mean widdow kid."

White Silver Sands

Letty hello. Edgarblythe too. And all.

This reminds me of the eighties.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oI27uSzxNQ

edgar, I love White Silver Sands, but you sent me to the archives again.

Don Rondo (born Donald Rondeau; January 5, 1930 – January 27, 2011) was an American singer of popular music ballads during the mid 1950s, known for his distinctive baritone voice.

Alex, Welcome back. Fantastic song , buddy. Love Arcade Fire's Ready to start. You sent me searching as well.


"Ready to Start" is a single from Arcade Fire's third album The Suburbs. It was released as a single on October 3, 2010. The band performed "Ready to Start" as their second performance at the 53rd Grammy Awards, immediately following The Suburbs winning Album of the Year. The band also performed the song at the Brit Awards several days after the Grammy Awards

Time for me to say goodnight, and I shall do so with a man who Walt Disney introduced so long ago. What a wonderful voice he has.

And, another by Andy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBIj-Y7xj6Y&feature=related

Glad to have our Brit with us today and nice to see Alex again

From Letty with love to all of you.

Andy is pretty good. Particularly the second song, letty.

To find a way to leave our trouble behind.
We been down under and we sure been good
Come on and play it like we know you can do.

Hey Harmonica Man

You wanna take the stand?
You wanna dance some more?

Everything's alright.
Everything is sure.

Hey Harmonica Man

He usually plays a four-octave instrument similar to the Hohner Super 64, though he often plays customized instruments. The Super 64 only comes in the key of C.His primary harmonica is a chromatic rather than the diatonic harmonica typically heard in blues.Chromatic has up to 16 holes compared to the 10 holes on diatonic harmonica, so it offers a wider range of sounds. But chromatic harmonica is also significantly harder to play.Chromatic has a scale set up like a piano keyboard, where regular harmonica is on a diatonic scale. So chromatic is a totally different monster, a lot harder to play. It takes a lot more oxygen. You really have to learn circular breathing.

I crave some indulgence.It's hard for me to get out of a Stevie "groove"....

Sting Live With Stevie Wonder(Playing Harmonica) Brand New Day.



How many of you people out there
Been hurt in some kind of love affair
And how many times do you swear that you'll never love again?

How many lonely, sleepless nights
How many lies, how many fights
And why would you want to put yourself through all that again?

"Love is pain," I hear you say
Love has a cruel and bitter way
Of paying you back for all the faith you ever had in your brain

How could it be that what you need the most
Can leave you feeling just like a ghost?
You never want to feel so sad and lost again

One day you could be looking
Through an old book in rainy weather
You see a picture of her smiling at you
When you were still together
You could be walking down the street
And who should you chance to meet
But that same old smile that you've been thinking of all day

You can turn the clock to zero, honey
I'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money
We're starting up a brand new day

Turn the clock all the way back
I wonder if she'll take me back
I'm thinking in a brand new way

Turn the clock to zero, sister
You'll never know how much I missed her
Starting up a brand new day

Turn the clock to zero, boss
The river's wide, we'll swim across
Started up a brand new day

It could happen to you - just like it happened to me
There's simply no immunity - there's no guarantee
I say love's such a force - if you find yourself in it
And sometimes no reflection is there

Baby wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute

Turn the clock to zero, honey
I'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money
We're starting up a brand new day

Turn the clock to zero, Mac
I'm begging her to take me back
I'm thinking in a brand new way

Turn the clock to zero, boss
The river's wide, we'll swim across
Started up a brand new day

Turn the clock to zero buddy
Don't wanna be no fuddy duddy
Started up a brand new day

I'm the rhythm in your tune
I'm the sun and you're the moon
I'm a bat and you're the cave
You're the beach and I'm the wave
I’m the plow and you’re the land
You're the glove and I'm the hand
I'm the train and you're the station
I'm a flagpole to your nation - yeah

Stand up all you lovers in the world
Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl
Stand up all you lovers in the world
Starting up a brand new day

Stand up all you lovers in the world
Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl
Stand up all you lovers in the world
Starting up a brand new day

Stand up,it's a brand new day
It's a brand new day
It's a brand new day..................

Time to climb those apples and pears. (live,as it should be)....

Sting - Englishman In New York.

I don't drink coffee I drink tea my dear
I like my toast done on one side
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an Englishman in New York

See me walking down Fifth Avenue
A walking cane here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I'm an Englishman in New York

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
You could end up as the only one
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
At night a candle's brighter than the sun

Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than a license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run

If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say


I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
