WA2K Radio is now on the air

edgar, thanks again for your comments.

You sent me searching about Chuck Willis, buddy.

Willis, who had suffered from stomach ulcers for many years, died during surgery in Chicago of peritonitis while at the peak of his career, just after the release of his last single, "What Am I Living For?", backed by "Hang Up My Rock & Roll Shoes" "What Am I Living For?" sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. It was also the top R&B disc of 1958.

His hit, the blues ballad "It's Too Late (She's Gone)" was covered by other artists, including Otis Redding, Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly and the Crickets, Eric Clapton's Derek and the Dominos and the Jerry Garcia Band. In 2005, it was heavily sampled by Kanye West on Late Registration's "Gone". Elvis Presley covered "I Feel So Bad" and "C. C. Rider" and Ruth Brown and Conway Twitty had hits with "Oh What a Dream".

Thanks for the introduction and the song C.C. Rider.

I had better hurry and say goodnight with two song.

First Sarah.

Nice to see Gus back with us, and also good to hear from our Scotsman and our Brit.

Goodnight, world

From Letty with love

Sarah was magnificent, at the top of her career.
Good one by Allan Jones.
For this next selection, I had to choose a video with three songs on it. It is well worth it to hang in for Silent Spring and Lost in the Stars.

Cyndi Lauper, Time after time, good song to end an evening.

My father liked Jan Peerce, met with him at some point (something about trying to get a program together, one more, uh, dead end).

I should go and look up what's online.

Cyndi made some good songs too.

Yeah, Jan was one of the good ones.

Red Arrows tribute for Flt Lt Jon Egging (Red 4).

Good morning, WA2K folks.

edgar, thanks again for commenting on what we play here. Loved Lena's Silent Spring mixed with Lost in the Stars. Ann Margaret and Al Hirt's Personality was great. As edgar noted, jcboy, Cyndi's Time After Time was a good one.

Hey, Brit. Thanks for The Four Tops song, but you sent me searching about the death of the young man's tribute.

The Red Arrows are renowned throughout the world as ambassadors for both the Royal Air Force and the United Kingdom. Since the Team was officially formed in 1965, the Red Arrows have completed over 4,000 displays in 53 countries.

The Red Arrows’ reputation is built on the commitment and professionalism, combined with Royal Air Force skills, training and equipment. Many of the Red Arrows’ pilots and support staff have recently returned from Afghanistan and Iraq and many will be temporarily detached on operations overseas during their time with the Red Arrows.

We are proud to represent the values and professionalism of the Royal Air Force.

A mite nervous about the formation of Irene. Will be watching.

Today is Kenny Rodgers' birthday, so here is a tribute to the man.

I am not familiar with the Red Arrows, or the man being honored, but I can appreciate what these people do and so I send out my condolences.

Kenny has so many quality songs, and Lady is one of them.

Going to work now. Have a good Sunday morning. I know I shall.

My dad loved Doris Day, Perhaps perhaps perhaps, I love this song!

Hurry back, edgar. Loved Hank's Rootie Tootie as well as Joan's Amazing Grace.

Hey , jcboy. My mom loved Nat. Check out his version of Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps.

Today is the Count's birthday. My husband loved him, too. I know every one of the songs that is being played.

Very nice Letty! One of my friends called me an old soul because of the music I like, not sure what he meant by that but I took it as a compliment.

I will admit I’ve not been a fan of country music but you gotta love the hair.

Tammy Wynette, Stand by you man!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwBirf4BWew

When we were in New York, Art Blakey signed our photo with "nothing but the soul" which simply put, means a feeling. So count that as a compliment.

Tammy is one country singer that I don't care for, jcboy.

Here's Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers.

I also like Doris Day. My favorite by her is Secret Love.
The tribute to the count is pretty well done.

Tammy Wynette, I sometimes will listen to. Other times, not.
Art Blakey puts them ivories on notice.

A tribute to Townes Van Zandt
