Gene Allison - Reap What You Sow.

Welcome back, Irish, and thanks for your comments. The Brock McGuire band was great. Did I hear Turkey in the Straw somewhere in there? The Green Fields of France was lovely, Irish.

Welcome back to you as well, Osso. Don't know Marley's Ghost, but both of your songs were good and perfect for the month of ghosts and goblins. Thanks for the introduction.

Brit, I love, love, love Ramsey Lewis. What a jazz man he was. I recall his Hang on Sloopy as well. Gene Allison's Reap what you Sow I don't know, but I agree with him. "...sow the wind; reap the whirlwind..."

How about some of old Dublin, yawl.

Don't know the three tenors, but they are fabulous

One of my favourites Miss Letty and sung beautifully by the Tenors.

One more from The Fureys.

Y'know I love the Fureys..
especially that guy's voice, which ever guy it is.

Here's the Marleys Ghost website, with more about the wide ranging music -

Thanks again, osso, for the info on Marley's Ghost.

Hey, Irish. I most certainly know When You and I Were Young Maggie, and I found this bit of info.

James Austin Butterfield (May 18, 1837-1891) was a British-born composer. His best known composition is When You and I Were Young, Maggie, first published in 1866 (lyrics by George W. Johnson). Butterfield was born in England in 1837 and emigrated to the United States in 1856.

He was also the second president of the Music Teachers National Association, in 1878

The old songs are the goodies, Irish.

Today is John Le Carre's birthday. I read his book The Spy Who Came in From the Cold and I think Richard Burton did the movie, but I thought I would play a tribute to him via this move that I don't know.

California Stars
Wilco

Good afternoon. I see it has been a busy day on radio a2k. Lots of good people and great music and movie information. I will be around off and on the rest of the evening.

Hurry back, edgar, I knew most of your stars. Love that one by Wilco.

Saying goodnight with two songs. First, a tribute to John Steinbeck and his Grapes of Wrath.

His last book was Travels With Charley, his dog.

Now, forgive me, but I love this song and was surprised to see all of the folks who sang it.

So nice to have London and Dublin with us tonight.

From Letty with love to the world.

I am proud to say that I have read the book of Grapes of Wrath, but I also love the movie enough to own a copy. I have watched that movie two or more times per year for a number of years now. I love other Steinbeck novels - Of Mice and Men, in particular. I had a problem with some of his short stories, however. Some left me feeling less than satisfied.

I love Nightingale Sang and Nat King Cole.

Good morning. Nice and chill this morning. See ya all later in the day.

hbg, thanks for those songs.

I guess I'll have to amend my message of yesterday and say nice to have hbg with us today.

Love that version of Hildegard and "sachmo" doing Mack the Knife.

Lots of different versions of the frozen leopard atop Mt. Kilamenjaro and Ernest Hemingway.

edgar, stay warm and hurry back. Love Bobby's version of Clementine.

Odd, for the first time, I had to turn on the heat here in my wee studio.

One to match Ontario's

GUTEN MORGEN !

Good day Miss Letty & all at WA2K.
Loved Ella Fitzgerald, great singer. I also really liked Wolfgang with that kind of space age spaghetti western music, excellent.
Catch ye later folks.

Cavatina.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAAiYMgFcbw

hbg, I had no idea that Ella did that one. I remember it best by The Andrew Sisters. Thanks for the different version.

Hurry back, Irish. I love Cavatina from The Deer Hunter.

The trailer. When De Niro didn't shoot the deer, I burst into tears. Christopher continued the Russian Roulette. What a horror was the Vietnam war.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Gqit3zVmyc

Another fawn song, too.

I like Wunderbar and Ella's song.

Didn't know Stanley Myers, but I like that one.

I was possibly in the wrong frame of mind when this happened. Or not. Don't know. When local channel 39 started up, it showed The Deerhunter, without commercials, for the first ever broadcast program. I did not get into it and became bored and eventually cut it off. Maybe today I would see it differently. Don't know.
