Keely Smith - Someone To Watch Over Me.
Laters WA2K.
Down and gone.

Good night, folks.

Keeley Smith sure does a great job !
here she is with her " loverboy " - Louis Prima .

Tennessee Ernie Ford's birthday is not until tomorrow - but i'll let him sing
" 16 tons " tonight :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92arUrGVt6k

i like this performance much better - don't think " 16 tons " was exactly a go-go song !

good night to all !

Good morning. A bad weather day ahead. See ya all later on the radio.

Good morning to all of our WA2K folks from here in Florida.

Brit, I hope the Fredster watches over you. I didn't know that one by Keely ;only heard it by other folks and one was Nancy Wilson.

Hurry back, edgar.

hbg I certainly know sixteen tons. It is true that the miners were paid with script that could only be redeemed at the company store. Thanks for that one, Ontario, and also the one with Louis Prima.

A couple of songs for the morning here.

First, Simon and Garfunkel with the English lyrics.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1E0nEe8RxM&feature=related

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail.
Yes I would.
If I could,
I surely would.

I'd rather be a hammer than a nail.
Yes I would.
If I only could,
I surely would.

CHORUS
Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man get tied up to the ground
He gives the earth
It's saddest sound,
It's saddest sound.

I'd rather be a forest than a street.
Yes I would.
If I could,
I surely would.

I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet,
Yes I would.
If I only could,
I surely would.
"El Condor Pasa"

and, yawl, a birthday boy that I really love.

Weather has improved a bit here thank goodness.

Condor Pasa is one of my favorite songs, letty.
Clint Eastwood still comes across very well.
I don't know Robbie Williams, but he does that one pretty well.

Here is Shirley Bassey's first hit record, believe it or don't

How did you restore our signal, edgar. You are a clever technician. Thanks again for your comment.

Don't know how Clint Eastwood worked his way in to the studio. Did I miss something?

Wow! Had no idea that Shirley did The Banana Boat song. Is there such a thing as a banana spider? Yikes!

For some reason, I am thinking about Seals and Crofts.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RC-oP84mRME

The Robbie Williams song had Clint Eastwood's Superbowl ad first. I went back just now and it had a different ad. So, the ads on youtubes change with each playing, at least part of the time.
Seals and Croft made a lot of good songs as a duo.

Sit Down

Okay, now I understand, Texas. Don't know Sit Down by Harry. Good one, edgar, and thanks again for your comment.

It's Peter Tork's birthday. Remember The Monkees?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoK0uThOlWc&feature=related

Not a very good tribute, but I couldn't find a better one.

Evening Ms Letty,Ed and all WA2K peeps.Here's a young lady that I had the pleasure of seeing live a few weeks ago in Essex....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_b7zOAzOoZk&feature=uploademail
Lauren - The Ekong Song.

Never heard Tork solo. The Monkeys have several songs that I consider extremely good. Their TV show was not geared for a mind like mine. Never sat through an entire episode.

Pleasant Valley Sunday

Hi Miss Letty, Ed & all at WA2k, Hi Izzie.

To be honest I've had a banger of a headache last couple of days, ahh, so I haven't listened to too much music. I have been sampling though.

So instead of music tonight I'll give you a little bit of comedy.

"A very important part of the Irish way of life is death." Dave Allen. (Priceless)

Wow! I missed our Brit, edgar. That gal is fabulous. The eKong song was superb.

edgar, Another Pleasant Valley Sunday was another I wish song. Good one!

How about Roy doing a good one, too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uR1fRZGJKKE&feature=related

Missed you as well, Irish. David on Death was funny. Glad that someone can view it lightly. Been a while since I had a headache. One Bayer usually takes the pain away.

I like pretty much all of Roy's songs, letty.

So do I, edgar.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I think that I shall do so with two one hit wonders.

First, King Harvest.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AMdcgpUTVY

Now another that I love.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ogkwp3OMH4

"...the ending of that one: "..don't want to change your life, but there's a strong wind blowing the stars are out...etc.

Great to have London and Dublin with us tonight. Hope our Ms Izz has a great Valentine's celebration as do all of you.

From Letty with love to everyone

Yes, I checked out euro and barry's offerings, letty.
Remember Dennis Day, of the Jack Benny Show?
