WA2K Radio is now on the air

euro, I had to check out the situation with dolphins and the Japanese, so now I understand.

I also checked out Junior Murvin and his plight. Things are bad all over, Irish.

Well, here's a better bunch.

Fats Domino

Welcome back, Texas. Don't know that one by Fats, but I really like the guy. I remember him best for "I'm Walkin'"

Hoorah! The rain dance worked. We just had a cloud burst. Time to do a boogie by Earth, Wind, and Fire.

Fats' record was his first in the evolving rock sound.
It rained all morning here. I used to joke that if you like earth wind and fire come over to my sister in law's house for dinner.

My back yard is rife with this stuff

Funny, edgar, about the sister in law. Didn't know that about Fats, either.

Love The Coasters' Poison Ivy. I can't tell you how many time I got it. Finally, some doctor gave me a shot (I think it was called Ivanol) and I never got the oak or ivy again.

Be careful when you walk through your back yard, Texas.

Time for me to say goodnight, and although I recall this song best by "the velvet fog", I was stunned to hear how fantastic these guys were in singing.

Great to have Dublin and London with us today. I'm certain that hbg will be back later. Hope McTag will as well.

The Smothers Brothers were good musicians.

Good morning, folks. I will see you all later on the radio.

Love Harry's Work song, edgar, and you hurry back, but not in your back yard. Thanks again for your comment.

hbg, Xavier and Abbe Lane were great as was Richard Tauber. Loved Abbe and Cesar plus The Green Eyes song. "...cool and limpid green eyes.."

I was think about composers of film music and decided this man was truly a genius.

Ennio Morricone. Two songs by him, yawl.

My dad was in WWI so consider this a tribute to him and all the boys over there.

I love the old WWI music. Here is another one

Great one by Sir Elton, edgar. Had no idea that Hemingway had written a book based on this guy's meditation.

John Donne
Meditation 17
Devotions upon Emergent Occasions

"No man is an iland, intire of it selfe; every man is a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine; if a clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as well as if a Mannor of thy friends or of thine owne were; any mans death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankinde; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee...."

It was also a movie with Gary Cooper. What a surprise! Here is the brief trailer.

My older brother always carried that quotation on a scrap of paper in his wallet.
I thought I had seen the Gary Cooper Ingrid Bergman film, but the trailer makes me think not.

More WWI

The Last Long Mile is a great one, edgar. Those oldies are fun to listen to.

I saw this movie, but had to remind myself and all of us of the plot.

The film deals with the situation of British prisoners of war during World War II who are ordered to build a bridge to accommodate the Burma-Siam railway. Their instinct is to sabotage the bridge but, under the leadership of Colonel Nicholson, they are persuaded that the bridge should be constructed as a symbol of British morale, spirit and dignity in adverse circumstances. At first, the prisoners admire Nicholson when he bravely endures torture rather than compromise his principles for the benefit of the Japanese commandant Saito. He is an honorable but arrogant man, who is slowly revealed to be a deluded obsessive. He convinces himself that the bridge is a monument to British character, but actually is a monument to himself, and his insistence on its construction becomes a subtle form of collaboration with the enemy. Unknown to him, the Allies have sent a mission into the jungle, led by Warden and an American, Shears, to blow up the bridge.

Now the theme.
