WA2K Radio is now on the air

I never heard of him either - what a great voice, what a nice range, and neat song.

I actually like a lot of his music after meeting him and finding out who he was lol, he does a little acting too, I remember him in Silence of the Lambs, he played one of the police officers.

Jan Peerce had a great voice.
Hope I didn't offend with my assessment of Breakfast at -
Here is another version of Moon River

Good morning WA2K folks.

edgar, Moon River by Jerry Butler was excellent as was Jackson Browne's Barricades of Heaven. That slow version of La Bamba by Harry was a great version, Texas.

Welcome back, Brit. Never heard Love's in Need of Love Today, but it's an excellent philosophy by Stevie Wonder.

Today is Robert De Niro's birthday. What an actor, yawl. Here's a tribute to the man.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ck8o6Z0Y0QM

One of his best movies was Awakenings and was a true story.

Awakenings is a 1990 American drama film based on Oliver Sacks's 1973 memoir Awakenings. It tells the true story of British neurologist Oliver Sacks, fictionalized as American Malcolm Sayer and portrayed by Robin Williams who, in 1969, discovers beneficial effects of the then-new drug L-Dopa. He administered it to catatonic patients who survived the 1917–28 epidemic of encephalitis lethargica. Leonard Lowe (played by Robert De Niro) and the rest of the patients were awakened after decades of catatonic state and have to deal with a new life in a new time.

Directed by Penny Marshall, the film was produced by Walter Parkes and Lawrence Lasker, who first encountered Sacks's book as undergraduates at Yale University and optioned it a few years later. Awakenings stars Robert De Niro, Robin Williams, John Heard, Ruth Nelson, Julie Kavner, Penelope Ann Miller, and Max Von Sydow. The film features a non-speaking cameo from jazz legend Dexter Gordon (who died before the film's release) who appears as a patient and then-unknowns Bradley Whitford, Peter Stormare, Vin Diesel, and Vincent Pastore play a doctor, neurochemist, hospital orderly and a psych-ward patient, respectively.

Speaking of Dexter Gordon.

Here is one by that great saxophonist who died of kidney failure.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnZm8IJ9k20&feature=related

and the lyrics.

What's new?
How is the world treating you?
You haven't changed a bit
Lovely as ever, I must admit

What's new?
How did that romance come through?
We haven't met since then
Gee, but it's nice to see you again

What's new?
Probably I'm boring you
But seeing you is grand
And you were sweet to offer your hand

I understand. Adieu!
Pardon my asking what's new
Of course you couldn't know
I haven't changed, I still love you so

Wow! that man was six feet six inches tall.

De Niro is one of those good actors who has several good films. I sometimes find him in films that waste his talent. I saw Awakenings and enjoyed it.

Didn't know of Dexter, but I know the song. It's a good one.

Good morning, Peeples. See ya all later on the radio.

Hurry back, edgar, and thanks for your comments.

Hey, Where did our Brit go? He didn't climb no pears, stairs.

One of my favorites by De Niro is the Untouchables. He played Al Capone. If you hear Enrico Caruso in the background, it's because Al loved him.

Yeh, Capone and Caruso. I missed that film.

Porter Wagoner

Thanks again for your comment, edgar. The Carroll County Accident by Porter Wagoner is one that I don't know, Texas. Wonder if it was about a real occurrence?

Here's something that you taught me.

Dolly's tribute to him.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E22n_ABD5Mo&feature=related

I recall thinking that Whitney Houston did the original

Dolly is a great artist. I only recently gave Porter Wagoner much of a listen. For the real lowdown on the Carroll County Accident -

Hilarious parody, edgar. I sang this song when I was really really young sitting under a hair dryer. I thought with the noise no one would hear me. These lyrics are not exactly like I recall, however. "...the line that I recall was when I reached for my dough in my pants.." All I could think of was biscuit dough.

I have no idea why I know this.

Seven beers with the wrong woman

We sat at a table for two

The next thing I knew, she whispered

Oh boy, I could sure go for you

My heart beat a little bit quicker

And I held her sweet little hand

I swelled up with pride, But oh, how she lied

I sure was a foolish young man

.

Seven beers with the wrong woman

She made me get up and dance

Around and around we circled

Til I missed some money from my pants

I ask her if she had seen it

She smiled up at me and said no

To this day to me, it’s a big mystery

Still wonder just where it did go

.

Seven beers with the wrong woman

Her husband walked in after that

Soon as he spied us together

He walked up and gived me a smack

He grabbed me by the seat of my britches

Boy he sure jerked up the swack

And then I got tossed out the door by the bar

Who told me to never come back

.

Seven beers with the wrong woman

It’s my one and only regret

I guess she was only fooling

When she called me her darling and pet

Well I wish that the Lord had made Adam

And never made anyone else

If there’s one thing I know the next place I go

I’m gonna buy fourteen beers for myself

Now, the parody.

AHA! I just found out that Eddie Arnold did the original song.

Funny song, letty.

Take a Message to Mary

Thanks, edgar. I have no idea why I knew the original, but it must have been because Eddie Arnold did it. My next door neighbor loved him.

Great one by The Everly Brothers, Texas. Rather reminds me of Tell Laura I Love her.

How about this mix by Julio. See how many of the songs you know in English.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmx4YIIbPrk&feature=related

I know yours still the stars lose their glory; also Amapola my pretty little poppy.

I think I heard Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps in there as well. Also At the close of each day when I'm without you and my heart kneels to pray I pray about you. You take a star and lead it far away from heaven and the star would be lost as I'm lost without you.

Also, Perfidia

Aretha Franlin, You make be feel like a natural woman

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DSYZAiM-20

I didn't really recognize many of the songs. Julio is a great artist, however. Also like Natural Woman.

Joan Baez

edgar, I had forgotten Gale Storm. I know the song My Little Margie, but don't recall the TV show. Sad that she became addicted to alcohol. She won the battle though.

Love Joan's Love is Just a Four Letter Word. Odd, I know Joan did this one and I'll bet you know the lyrics to this instrumental by "the jester"

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

Yells at jcboy. You can be au natural anytime you want to be on WA2K Radio.

Don't think Twice has an interesting history. A man whose name I have totally forgotten discovered some very old music. He showed it to Bob Dylan. Well, he had a sudden thought and called Bob on the phone. "Don't use that music," he said. "I want to do something with it." Bob answered back: "Too late, I already recorded it."
