WA2K Radio is now on the air

I don't know Jimmy Charles, edgar, but I truly enjoyed A Million to One. I saw that Gene did the rose song and perhaps Jerry Lee Lewis. Need to check that out.

Today is Eugene O' Neill's birthday, and I recall him best for A Long Day's Journey into Night. Quite tragic.

Here's another by that great Irish writer called Anna Christie. She was a "lady of the Evening", who had difficulty turning her life around.

I like the song that accompanies the video, letty.

Restless Farewell

some sad news - perhaps someone posted it earlier - :



here he is with : AUTUMN LEAVES :

Don't know that one by the jester, edgar, but he was really good on The Restless Farewell. That music for the tribute was what made it worth watching.

One to match Bob's.

listened to some Nick Drake yesterday on a long rural drive

a very appropriate song for the fall



Summer was gone and the heat died down
And Autumn reached for her golden crown
I looked behind as I heard a sigh
But this was the time of no reply.

The sun went down and the crowd went home
I was left by the roadside all alone
I turned to speak as they went by
But this was the time of no reply.

The time of no reply is calling me to stay
There is no hello and no goodbye
To leave there is no way.

The trees on the hill had nothing to say
They would keep their dreams till another day
So they stood and thought and wondered why
For this was the time of no reply.

Time goes by from year to year
And no one asks why I am standing here
But I have my answer as I look to the sky
This is the time of no reply.

The time of no reply is calling me to stay
There`s no hello and no goodbye
To leave there is no way.

more Drake


such a sad short life
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Drake

Nicholas Rodney "Nick" Drake (19 June 1948 – 25 November 1974) was an English singer-songwriter and musician. Best known for the sombre pieces composed on his primary instrument, the guitar, Drake was also proficient at piano, clarinet and saxophone. Although he failed to find a wide audience during his lifetime, Drake's work has gradually achieved wider notice and recognition; he now ranks among the most influential English singer-songwriters of the last 50 years.

Drake signed to Island Records when he was 20 years old and released his debut album, Five Leaves Left, in 1969. By 1972, he had recorded two more albums—Bryter Layter and Pink Moon. None of the albums sold more than 5,000 copies on their initial release. His reluctance to perform live or be interviewed further contributed to his lack of commercial success. Despite this, he was able to gather a loyal group of fans who would champion his music. One such person was his manager, Joe Boyd, who had a clause put into his own contract with Island Records that ensured Drake's records would never go out of print. Drake suffered from depression and insomnia throughout his life, and these topics were often reflected in his lyrics. Upon completion of his third album, 1972's Pink Moon, he withdrew from both live performance and recording, retreating to his parents' home in rural Warwickshire. There is no known footage of the adult Drake; he was only ever captured in still photographs and in home footage from his childhood. On 25 November 1974, Drake died from an overdose of amitriptyline, a prescribed antidepressant; he was 26 years old.

hbg, no, I didn't know that Roger had died in October. The Impossible Dream I do know, however. "...The Man of La Mancha..." Yes, it's not April, October is the cruelest month.

dj, welcome back.

Don't know Nick Drake, but Time of No Reply and Day is Done was beautiful. How very sad that he expired at 26. It happens all the time to creative people. Thanks for the introduction, and the information.

Time for me to say goodnight, and this one is a hymn for Sunday.

The Rogers, Williams and Whitaker, both made some memorable music.

I had forgotten what Nick Drakes music sounds like. He was a good artist.

I always like Jo and Gordon and Whispering Hope is a beautiful song.

And rock's James Taylor song. Thanks, rock.
