WA2K Radio is now on the air

I respect Jackson Brown on several levels. Dr My Eyes is the song that made me first notice him.

Ray Charles

I'm with you on that one, edgar.

Never heard I Don't Need No Doctor by Ray. Here's my favorite one by the soul man.

Yerp. Ray had so many great songs. I consider some of his recordings as among the best ever made.

Don Cornell

Don't know Don Cornell, edgar. He has a great voice, however. Hold My Hand reminded me of Kismet.

Hi all, I think I'll "treat" you all to a wee Scottish triple play.

First up, Edwyn Collins 'A Girl Like You'.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkKxGzm98AU

Next, the Proclaimers/500 miles.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM0sTNtWDiI

Last one, Strawberry Switchblade -- Since Yesterday.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7QPBzAJ_io

Three favourites of mine, no accounting for taste eh?
Man did I have a crush on Rose McDowall , back in the day.

That's a good song for Matt, letty.

Don Cherry

Hey, euroGeorge, Welcome back. Wow! A Girl Like You was great. Don't know Edwin Collins but he has a wonderful voice.

The Proclaimers wouldn't work, Irish.

Strawberry Switchblade was good, and the song Since Yesterday was fabulous. No wonder you had a crush on Rosie.

edgar, I do know Band of Gold by Don Cherry. Thanks for the memory and the comment on dear Matt.

Inspired by Rockhead's Random Thoughts, and thanks to JPB, here is a wonderful classical by Beethoven.

Love the acoustic guitar version

ah, Beethoven's Moonlight put edgar to sleep. George is all doubled up in bed, but I know our Brit's out there somewhere cause I can hear him taking photos.



Saying goodnight with two songs. First one that was inspired by Shearing.

Now, one for London town.

Good night to all,

From Letty with love

Those three songs were restful, to say the least, letty. On the Street Where You Live is my favorite of them.

Just You Wait Enry Iggins Just you Wait

Morning Ms Letty,Ed and all WA2K folks.The camera is on charge Ms Producer as I welcomed an old friend who flew in from New York yesterday morning.This time last year we were both in India.Pictures will be posted elsewhere.
I loved George's Mack The Knife,taken from his Grand Piano LP/CD.
The tribute to Sir Alfred was great.Too bad he missed the bus in the last few frames .The music behind the vid was Mike Oldfield's tubular Bells,used in the scarey movie The Exorcist.
Ed,Ray's I Don't Need No Doctor was written by these folks....
Nickolas Ashford (born May 4, 1942, in Fairfield County, South Carolina) and Valerie Simpson (born August 26, 1946 in The Bronx, New York) are a husband and wife songwriting/production team and recording artists. They met at Harlem's White Rock Baptist Church in 1963. After having recorded unsuccessfully as a duo, they joined aspiring solo artist and former member of the Ikettes, Josie Jo Armstead, at the Scepter/Wand label where their compositions were recorded by Ronnie Milsap ("Never Had It So Good"), Maxine Brown ("One Step At A Time"), as well as the Shirelles and Chuck Jackson. Another of the trio's songs "Let's Go Get Stoned" gave Ray Charles a number one U.S. R&B hit in 1966. That same year Ashford & Simpson joined Motown where their best-known songs included "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", "You're All I Need To Get By", "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing", and "Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)". As performers, Ashford and Simpson's best-known song is "Solid" (1984 US and 1985 UK). The duo was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2002.

Ashford & Simpson - Solid.

Gotta run.A certain young lady needs breakfast.
Laters WA2K.

Good morning, WA2K folks.

Edgar, Loved your goodnight song. Yep, that cockney My Fair Lady song was great. Also appreciate your comments.

Well, well. There's our Brit with great news. Thanks for the info and we await your photo's from St. Elsewhere Just as euroGeorge, your song wouldn't play here, but I found an American version and it was fantastic. Ashford and Simpson's Solid was truly good. Thanks for your comments, too.

The reason that Blatty wrote The Ninth Configuration was because he wanted to soften the effect of The Exorcist. Read the book and saw the movie.

The kid from Orlando is here, but sleeping, so I thought I do two songs for the early morning.

First, Tony Martin who is still with us. Good song for Sunday.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEKANlWF9Us&feature=related

Now, some great jazz.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVFe-C--dfo&feature=related

Good Morning all, Miss Letty enjoyed Tony Martin and Moonlight Sonata - classical guitar was nice.
Ray Charles two were great and enjoyed Matt Monro and Don Cherry too.
I'd forgotten all about Ashford & Simpson, great song.

Natalie Cole.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGZkX_qi4nM

Good morning. Thanks for the Ashford and Simpson information, barry. Maybe I can get a restful Sunday. .

Tony Martin can make even an average song sound good. I like Glad to be Unhappy.

Nice one by Natalie Cole.

Gene Pitney

Morning, WA2K folks.

Hey, Irish, Thanks for Natalie's Miss You Like Crazy. Love it when she and her dad sang Unforgettable. Thanks for your comments.

edgar, you always comment on what we play here. I don't know that Gene Pitney song, but I like it.

Anyone remember St. Elsewhere? First time I ever saw Denzel Washington.
