WA2K Radio is now on the air

Thanks again for your comments, edgar. Glad you acknowledged the songs that I played.

Wow! What a performance by "old blue eyes" on Old Man River. That's another I didn't know.

I was thinking about Midnight in Moscow again, so I think I'll say goodnight with that lovely song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In8DaeDs9KA&feature=related

Here are the full English lyrics.

Stillness in the grove
Not a rustling sound
Softly shines the moon clear and bright
Dear, if you could know
How I treasure so
This most beautiful Moscow Night

Lazily the brook like a silvery stream
Ripples in the light of the moon
And a song afar fades as in a dream
In this night that will end too soon
Yes a song afar fades as in a dream
In this night that will end too soon

Dearest, why so sad, why the downcast eyes
And your lovely head bent so low
Oh, I mustn’t speak, though I’d love to say
That you’ve stolen my heart away

Promise me my love, as the dawn appears
And the darkness turns into light
That you’ll cherish dear, through the passing years
This most beautiful Moscow Night

Say you’ll cherish dear through the passing years
This most beautiful Moscow Night

Nice to have London with us today. Hope euro isn't freezing in Ireland nor hbg in Ontario.

From Letty with love a and bit of a chill.

today is the birthday of a great folksinger : Oscar Brand .

( in canada he is best known for writing the song for canada's centennial celebrations in 1967 . imo it's better than canada's national anthem . )

Saying good night with Shug Fisher

Good mid morning here, WA2K folks.

hbg, Miles and Miles of Heart by The Damn Yankees was great as was Oscar Brand's Codliver Oil. Really enjoyed Something to Sing About in honor of Canada Day.

edgar, Your goodnight song Out on the Open Range was one that I didn't know, but thanks for the introduction.

That full moon hanging over the Intracostal waterway was shinning through my window from the north west. I loved it.

First, a tribute to John Williams on his real birthday.

Now, one by Thomas Moore that I adore. Maybe this will get our Irish friends back with us.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySXDOSolWKg&feature=related

Believe me if all those Endearing young charms
Which I gaze on so fondly today
Were to change by tomorrow
And fleet in my arms,
Like fairy gifts fading away
Though would'st still be adored
As this moment thou art
Let thy loveliness fade as it will
And around the dear ruin
Each wish of my heart
Would entwine itself
Verdantly still.

It is not while beauty
And youth are thine own
And thy cheeks
Unprofaned by a tear
That the ferver and faith
Of a soul can be known
To which time will but
Make thee more dear
No the heart that has truly loved
Never forgets
But as truly loves
On to the close
As the sunflower turns
On her god when he sets
The same look which
She'd turned when he rose.

That was for his wife who had smallpox and would not come out of her bedroom until he slipped the song under her door.

Now a tribute to John Williams on his real birthday.

CARNAVAL DE RIO.

Welcome back, Brit. That was quite a display of those ladies at Carnaval De Rio.

Thanks for the sports report . Reminded me of our Dutchy.

First, some news from your side of the pond.

Sigmund was his great grandfather.



Now, a clip from your dancers.

I don't like the portrait, letty.
Now that I know who John Williams is, I think he deserves that tribute

I like Thomas Moore. Nice music in the video.
Good version of Brazil.

I am glad I can watch ice skaters from home.

Remember this one?

Thanks for your comments, edgar. The Queen didn't like it either, and that was the point.

I love that One Tin Soldier from The Legend of Billy Jack.

Here's a birthday gal that I don't know, so first some info.

Claudette Pace is a Maltese singer born in Naxxar in 1968.

Claudette Pace has participated in many local and international song festivals, and won several prestigious awards. In 1995, Claudette won the Best female artist award at the Malta Music Awards, an award she has been nominated for almost every year. Her CD album Beginnings was also nominated for Best album at the same awards show in 1998. Claudette's favourite musical genre continues being jazz. After winning the Malta Song For Europe festival on 15 January 2000, with the song Desire, penned by Maltese songwriter Gerard James Borg, Claudette Pace went on a small world tour to Germany, Australia and of course Sweden, the host nation of the Eurovision Song Contest 2000, where her entry Desire was much appreciated and finished in top 10, on a nice eighth place.

Now, the song.

That is one lousy painting Ms PD.A fine example of checking an artist's previous work before commissioning a piece.Personally,I would love to see what Banksy or Pavel 183 could do,but some folk still regard their art as graffiti.

Well, Brit, I guess Madonna isn't crying for Argentina any longer.

Thanks for your comments, edgar. Loved the Boy George one. Thanks for the memory.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I think that I shall do so with Marty.
