WA2K Radio is now on the air

@McTag,

Thanks for your contributions, too, buddy. I know that one best as The Blue Danube, but Tom's take on it was funny.

@Letty,

Evening Miss Letty & all at WA2K.

@eurocelticyankee,

euroGeorge. Welcome back. We were concerned about you, Irish.

Love that cover of Willie's Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys by Waylon.

Been doing some research on Daniel Day-Lewis and came up with this one, yawl.

@Letty,

Hi Miss Letty, don't be worrying about me, I'm fine and dandy.
Last of the Mohicans was one of my favourite novels as a child. That piece of music was fantastic, I remember it's from a powerful scene at the end of the movie where Mogwai gets his comeuppance. Here it is, don't watch if you're squeamish. Daniel Day is Hawkeye, of course.....

@eurocelticyankee,

Thanks for that awful ending, euroGeorge. I read James Fenimore Cooper's book as a kid myself. You, of course, remember Daniel in The Gangs of New york.

@eurocelticyankee,

I know, euro. I only remember Daniel Day being the consummate evil guy and wanted to be.

Paul Brady was right. Nobody know about Elvis nor why Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald. There are lots of things that will never be known. Loved that song, incidentally.

One to match by the finest bass voice in the world.

@edgarblythe,

Welcome back, Texas, and thanks again for your comments. Don't know Tim Hardin's Lady from Baltimore, but I like the message in that one.

Wonder if this is the same Joe Turner who did Flip, Flop, and Fly.

'Supermoon' Alert: Biggest Full Moon of 2012 Occurs This Week

http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af138/barrythemod/To%20Forward/super-moon-2011-tim-mccord-entiat-w.jpg

Skywatchers take note: The biggest full moon of the year is due to arrive this weekend.

The moon will officially become full Saturday (May 5) at 11:35 p.m. EDT. And because this month's full moon coincides with the moon's perigee — its closest approach to Earth — it will also be the year's biggest.

The moon will swing in 221,802 miles (356,955 kilometers) from our planet, offering skywatchers a spectacular view of an extra-big, extra-bright moon, nicknamed a supermoon.

And not only does the moon's perigee coincide with full moon this month, but this perigee will be the nearest to Earth of any this year, as the distance of the moon's close approach varies by about 3 percent, according to meteorologist Joe Rao, SPACE.com's skywatching columnist. This happens because the moon's orbit is not perfectly circular.

@Barry The Mod,

Hey, Brit. You had some fabulous songs and science news. Better watch out for the werewolves of London Saturday. Razz

Loved Ray doing Mario and Don doing I Believe in You. Also like Maxi Priest's Close to You. Reminded me of The Carpenters' Close to You.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I am doing one by Mario that is odd, but one that I love.

From Letty with love to all of you.

I spent a little time looking up Joe Turner's Blues. Didn't find a definitive history on it. Saw that Nat King Cole recorded it.

Quote:

Kathryn Elizabeth "Kate" Smith (May 1, 1907 – June 17, 1986) was an American singer, best known for her rendition of Irving Berlin's "God Bless America". Smith had a radio, television, and recording career spanning five decades, which reached its pinnacle in the 1940s.

Smith was born in Greenville, Virginia. Her professional musical career began in 1930, when she was discovered by Columbia Records vice president Ted Collins, who became her longtime partner and manager. Collins put her on radio in 1931. She sang the controversial top twenty song of 1931, "That's Why Darkies Were Born". She appeared in 1932 in Hello Everybody!, with co-stars Randolph Scott and Sally Blane, and in the 1943 wartime movie This is the Army she sang "God Bless America".
