Peggy Lee - Is That All There Is.

That's one of my favorites, barry.

Yes that was a good one, I've just become a fan of Peggy Lee!

I did not know he and Stoller wrote Kansas City

Gotta climb the apples and leave the airwaves to the Yanks 'cause I gotta go down to the Job Center and get a job or else me and The Fredster will be out on the street....

UB40 - One In Ten.


I am the one in ten
A number on a list
I am the one in ten
Even though I don`t exist
Nobody knows me
But I`m always there
A statistical reminder
Of a world that doesn`t care

My arms enfold the dole queue
Malnutrition dulls my hair
My eyes are black and lifeless
With an underprivileged stare
I`m the beggar on the corner
Will no-one spare a dime?
I`m the child that never learns to read
`Cause no-one spared the time

I am the one in ten
A number on a list
I am the one in ten
Even though I don`t exist
Nobody knows me
But I`m always there
A statistical reminder
Of a world that doesn`t care

I`m the murderer and the victim
The licence with the gun
I`m a sad and bruised old lady
In an ally in a slum
I`m a middle aged businessman
With chronic heart disease
I`m another teenaged suicide
In a street that has no trees

I am the one in ten
A number on a list
I am the one in ten
Even though I don`t exist
Nobody knows me
But I`m always there
A statistical reminder
Of a world that doesn`t care

I`m a starving third world mother
A refugee without a home
I`m a house wife hooked on Valium
I`m a Pensioner alone
I`m a cancer ridden spectre
Discovering the earth
I`m another hungry baby
I`m an accident of birth.

I am the one in ten
A number on a list
I am the one in ten
Even though I don`t exist
Nobody knows me
But I`m always there
A statistical reminder
Of a world that doesn`t care

I am the one in ten
A number on a list
I am the one in ten
Even though I don`t exist
Nobody knows me
But I`m always there
A statistical reminder
Of a world that doesn`t care


Laters WA2K.

Yes, this from the BBC, Jerry Leiber wrote Hound Dog for Big Mama Thornton and then Elvis Presley took it to a world audience.

Yackity Yak I like, and Poison Ivy I think is also a Leiber/Stoller song.

Good early morning, WA2K, folks. Been up most of the night tracking Irene.

Sorry, that song by ms Lee is just too hedonistic to suit me.

Hey, Brit. Often times we are TOO good at what we do and that becomes a threat to the mediocre folks. One in Ten says it right

Thanks to all of our contributors. Odd the last song that I sang was Kansas City. I recall now having modified the lyrics to go with the meter.

Thanks again, edgar, for your comments on what we play on WA2K.

quote from a song: One of these mornings bout four o clock this old world is gonna reel and rock. Yikes!

Today is River Phoenix's birthday. Here is a tribute to that guy. The Paparazzi took a photo of that kid as he was dieing.

River Phoenix will be remembered for a good while, I think. Good morning, folks. I will return in the afternoon some time. See ya all then.

Good Day Miss Letty, Ed & all at WA2K.

Heard this in the car this morning, really liked it.
A cheer you up song. Enjoy. I just know I'll be whistling this all day.

Peter, Bjorn & John - Young Folks
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51V1VMkuyx0

Welcome back, euroGeorge. It's been a while. You sent me searching again.

Peter Bjorn and John (unofficially abbreviated as PB&J) are a Swedish indie rock band, formed in Stockholm in 1999 and named after the first names of the band's members: Peter Morén (vocals, guitar and harmonica), Björn Yttling (bass guitar, keyboards and vocals) and John Eriksson (drums, percussion and vocals).

They are best known for the 2006 single "Young Folks", which featured Victoria Bergsman, formerly of The Concretes, and was a top 20 hit in the UK Singles Chart, as well as being featured in football video game FIFA 08 and the singing game Lips. It was also named NME's second-best track of 2006, beaten only by "Over and Over" by Hot Chip. In Australia it was voted number 16 in the annual Triple J Hottest 100 for 2006

Delightful animated visual and I'm certain that's an Irish whistle. Thanks for the morning smile and the introduction to a great trio.

Today is another Irishman's birthday, so here is a tribute to him.

Good afternoon. Whistling is fun. I do it all day long at times.
Gene Kelly is one of my favorites.

Buddy Holly

From the news desk:
1:52 PM ET. A 5.8 Richter scale earthquake has hit VA and has been felt from central NC to NYC. The center was about 30 miles east of Charlottesville in a place called Mineral.
It seemed to last about 20-30 seconds.

edgar, Loved Take Your Time by Buddy. Thanks for your comment on Gene.

Welcome back, John of Virginia. Thanks for that info. I've been following it. Mineral is in Louisa County. Lord knows I've been there. Have cousins in Richmond. Need to follow that.

In the meanTime. Here's Lady Day.

That's one Billie Holiday song I didn't know.

Steve Lawrence

I didn't know that Lady Day did it either, Texas. I just wanted to match your "time" song.

Love that one by Steve Lawrence. What a marvelous way to tell Eyde that he loved her. He has such a great voice.

Well, with all the earthquakes happening in odd places, maybe we should ask Carole to sing one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoHuxpa4h48

Carol said it best, letty.

Perry

Ah, Mr. laid back Como. Wanted was great, edgar. What a voice; what a good man.

Thinking of this lady today as I watched the wind kick up a bit. She is still fantastic at eighty years of age.

Hi Miss Letty, Ed.
Keeping well I hope.

Been listening to Gene, Buddy, Perry, Billie, Steve Lawrence (1st time hearing),
Gogi and of course the apt Carole King - I Feel The Earth Move.
All great music.

Here's one from The Green Children..Life was beautiful...(No their not Irish)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jv9q71bO5S4

The Wayward Wind was a big hit for Gogi. I have only heard her sing a couple of songs, but I like her.

Life Was Beautiful is a good one. New artists for me.
