WA2K Radio is now on the air

Hi Osso.
I'm not to sure but as far as I know that's Finbar Fury singing.
I don't think Davy Arthur joined till Finbar left. Their still performing
mostly in Ireland and around Europe. http://www.thefureys.com/

Hi Miss Letty, yes I've seen "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence", it's
an ok movie, did you know that Ryûichi Sakamoto & David Bowie
play the two main characters in the film.
In truth I remember it most for the soundtrack.

Here's David singing Life on Mars.

Jeannie C. Riley -- "Harper Valley PTA" (1968)

Enjoyed hank singing "MAY YOU NEVER BE ALONE" Ed,
I note he was born in Alabama, I had him figured for a Texan.

Thanks for the recommendation. I just checked the Wikipedia article on the movie. Somewhere in Time (1980) is an adaptation of the novel Bid Time Return (1975) by Richard Matheson, who also wrote the screenplay for the movie.



Matheson was one of the leading scriptwriters for the original TV series The Twilight Zone, which was hosted by Rod Serling.

Well, this is talk radio, too, but I'm afraid everyone may be talking at
cross porpoises.

suggestion for our great contributors. Try and listen to the one before you play another song.

edgar, you know how I like Hank Williams.

euro, I realized after viewing the trailer who the main characters were, and just as you, I am more caught up in the movie score than the plot. Thanks again for that David Bowie song. Really like that guy. I enjoyed him as The Goblin King, too.

wm, Harper Valley PTA is a good one. Glad that you found the info on Somewhere in Time.

Now, back to the music. Thinking of that pug nosed Greek again, so, here is a great song by a jazz artist. They claim he's doing BeBop but he's not.

And the lyrics.

A country dance was being held in a garden
I felt a bump and heard an "Oh, beg your pardon"
Suddenly I saw - polka dots and moonbeams
All around a pug-nosed dream
The music started, and was I the perplexed one
I held my breathe, and said "May I have the next one?"
In my frightened arms - polka dots and moonbeams
Sparkled on a pug-nosed dream

There were questions in the eyes of other dancers
As we floated over the floor
There were questions but my heart knew all the answers
And perhaps a few things more

Now in a cottage, built of lilacs and laughter
I know the meaning, of the words: "ever after"
And I'll always see polka dots and moonbeams
When I kiss my pug-nosed dream

Thanks..

Agggg, talk to me about that furey's video.

Dayum, one of them has a voice that can go low, well -


I'll have to go back and "quote" that voice.

Later. I'll chase back on the thread.

oops ... polkadots is blocked in canada ...

You're welcome WM, the fact that Richard Matheson was a
scriptwriter for "The Twilight Zone" makes sense, as "Somewhere
in Time" definitely had a Twilight Zone quality to it. I looked him
up and what a revelation he is. He has penned some great stories.

Anywho I'll say Good Night.

One for the road.
Lisa Gerrard --- Now we are Free .

Good evening. Bette Midler, From A Distance.

hbg, sorry polka dots was barred. Check it out sometimes.

That video of The Crooked Picture was funny. Mendelson's Lorit was beautiful. Love the cello, Ontario.

Goodnight euro. Now we are free by Lisa was lovely.

jcboy, That is one of my favorites by Bette. Welcome back to you as well.

Time for me to say goodnight and I think that I shall do so with a song without words.

My mom loved that one.

So nice to have Ireland, London, and Ontario with us today on WA2K.

From Letty with love to the world.

I am listening to Beautiful Isle of somewhere as I write. I just came back from work and then had dinner. Haven't been able to write today, so that is what I am about to do. Good night.

How could we have overlooked Simon and Garfunkel? Some of their songs are nothing less than poetry set to music.




Simon and Garfunkel -- "The Dangling Conversation" (1966)




Simon and Garfunkel -- "Save the Life of My Child" (1968)

Good night! Don't let the bedbugs bite!



I shall leave you with ...

Frank Sinatra -- "Strangers in the Night" (1966)

Good (early ) morning!



Peter Gabriel -- "Solsbury Hill" (1977)



I prefer studio recordings of pop songs over concert performances, but I must make an exception to this one. I was quite taken by the video when I watched it. Gabriel's performance amazed me. (Please watch it. You'll see why.) So, I had to post this video as well.

Good Morning everybody, that's some good music to start
the day with WM, love Frank & Peter.
Polka Dots was blocked on me too Miss Letty, enjoyed listening
to Beautiful Isle Of Somewhere, I wonder where somewhere was.

The Fureys --- The Lonesome Boatman.

Good morning, kolks. Dangling Conversation is a favorite of mine, but the other songs played are good ones also. Got a busy day ahead. See ya all later on the radio.
