WA2K Radio is now on the air

edgar, glad you kept your signal. Love Buddy Holly's Raining in my Heart.

Hey, London. Oscar deserves a statue and that one was fabulous. Good for Dublin.

Don't know Sitting in the Park, but it does tell a story. Georgie also deserves "fame."

We need more rain here, but at least the butterflys are thriving.



First day of spring here. amazing!

Hank Jr

Thanks again for your comment. Hank, Jr. was pretty good on that ole Fats Domino song, edgar. I particularly like the contra bass being bowed.

This one by The Fab Four is being upgraded for CD.

I love the music from Yellow Submarine, but could not sit through the movie.

The New Seekers - I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing.

Love I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing by The New Seekers, Brit. My Irish friend Al (RIP) told me that they couldn't get all of the cocaine out of the coca leaf.

Resisting the urge to play Rum and Coca Cola. (those ladies were a member of the house of ill repute)

Going to say goodnight with two moon songs. Anyone remember the sarong gal?

Good morning Miss Letty, Ed & all WA2K folks...... Synchronicity.

Happy Woden's Day, everyone.

hbg, Loved your moonlight songs, especially Gentleman Jim's. That child's Laterne was so sweet. Thanks for your comments, Canada.

Brit, hope you slept well, and you hurry back to our wee studio when you can. Candi's Just a prisoner of Good Loving was a good one.

Yep, euro. Jung had a good thing going. What a great tribute to Phil Lynott.

Somehow, I was thinking about King Tut today. It appears that just like Eric, (phantom of the opera) he was deformed at birth and all the mystery revolves around that boy king can be resolved with that one simple conclusion of his early death. Hope Aquiunk is alright. That Egyptian was his avatar.

Here's one about the boy and "Joe Green" does Aida in the background. I love the aria Celeste Aida, however.

letty ,
thanks for playing Verdi's " AIDA " - it's spectacular !

here is a scene from the opening of aida at the giza pyramids -
there are some great pix to be seen at the linked website .

letty ,
here is some more of verdi's music : the anvil chorus .

the conductor gives it his best jumping up and down to the beat of the music !

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tjL29fLcc0

here the anvil is being put to good use to play the ANVIL POLKA .
it's from the " Concert of the Nations " being held annually
in Bremen , Germany .

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=RoQDRZP1yvQ

hbg, thanks for restoring out signal. I think that this was Verdi's only opera set in Egypt.

Love the triumphant march and the Anvil Chorus. Also the Anvil polka. Don't know that one, but it was fabulous.

My favorite aria by a new face on the horizon.

and, Canada, a birthday boy.

Good afternoon. I are a bit weary. I am now the sole crew member on the job. The others went on to other jobs. Oh, well. It isn't the first time this has happened.
That's a good discovery, letty. And Bach never sounded gooder.

Janis Ian

edgar, have you a ball and chain around your ankle? Hard to believe you're the only one working. Thanks for your comments, and that great song, Lonely One, by Janis Ian. I recall her best for Jessee.

Today is Modest Mussorgsky's birthday. How about some pictures at an exhibition from that famous Russian.

Hi Miss Letty, Ed, folks.

RONDO' VENEZIANO - - - Notturno In Gondola.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mM1wD9rJg4

euro, you sent me searching once again.

Rondò Veneziano is an Italian chamber orchestra, specializing in Baroque music, playing original instruments, but incorporating a rock-style rhythm section of synthesizer, bass guitar and drums, led by Maestro Gian Piero Reverberi, who is also the principal composer of all of the original Rondo Veneziano pieces. The unusual addition of modern instruments, more suitable for Jazz, combined with Reverberi's arrangements and original compositions, have resulted in lavish novel versions of classical works over the years. As a rule in their concert tours, the musicians, mostly women, add to the overall Baroque effect wearing Baroque-era attires and coiffures.

What an entrancing instrumental, Irish.

Your PD/Producer is going to say goodnight a bit early with a tribute to Mario Lanza, and a nice one by England Dan and John Ford Colley.

Hey, where did that nomad man go. He was supposed to be back later.

Always nice to have Texas, Canada, and Ireland with us on WA2K radio.

As always,

From Letty with love to the world
