WA2K Radio is now on the air

yeah really, I had that book when I was just a mere prat of a child, (ok well maybe my folks had the book, cause I really didn't understand the humour at the time)

that's too bad, i was a regular reader of punch in the 80's

dys, I remember the cartoon about a mid Victorian woman sitting on a bench in the park, clad to the neck in unnecessary clothes. In front of her was a child similarly clad.

Caption:

Run along, child, and try to play.

In the winter months in Virginia, I was dressed from head to toe in clothes...clothes...clothes.

Punch and Judy
XTC

Gather 'round!

Punch and Judy,
Did it truly,
And were married in a haste,
In love, maybe,
Using the baby,
as a kind of romance paste,
She's grown fatter,
Her hair cut shorter,
Looks much older than nineteen,
He's a drinker,
Not a thinker,
Baby spoiled his could-have-been.

This must be make-believe,
This must be make-believe,
This must be make-believe,
'Cos who do we know, dear, who acts like that?


Punch and Judy.

Punch and Judy,
In a semi,
On a brand new council plot,
Sunday lunchtime,
Beer-for-Punch time,
While his dinner's far from hot,
She grows tired,
Cab is hired,
She goes round to see her friend,
He comes back late,
Fool is irate,
We will see his temper bend.

This must be make-believe,
This must be make-believe,
This must be make-believe,
'Cos who do we know, dear, who acts like that?

Punch and Judy,
In a quandary,
She's walked out, and he is mad.
Now he's grown up,
Can't smash home up,
Retribution must be had.
Punch and Judy,
Had a baby,
Who brought them to married bliss.
Mr Punch,,
Has drunken hunch,
That he must punish kid for this

This must be make-believe,
This must be make-believe,
This must be make-believe,
'Cos who do we know, dear, who acts like that?

Punch and Judy

dj, you are a miracle man. I love it!

and that song is perfect. Glad you're back on the air, buddy.

dj, that is the most amazing background that I have ever heard about a puppet show.

Sorta makes the wicked witch in Snow White look rather tame.

Song: DING DONG! THE WITCH IS DEAD Lyrics

Munchkins
Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!

Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed.
Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. She's gone where the goblins go,
Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out.
Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know
The Wicked Witch is dead!

some obscure david bowie, to whisk you off to dreamland


Did You Ever Have A Dream
David Bowie

Did you ever have a dream or two
Where the hero is a guy named you
And the things he does are just too much
Does he fly like Mr. Superman, speak Chinese, French and Dutch?
And did you ever have a dream or two?

Have you ever woken up one day
With the feeling that you'd been away?
If the girl that you dreamed of last night
Had the same dream, in the very same scene
With the very same boy, hold tight

It's a very special knowledge that you've got, my friend
You can travel anywhere with anyone you care
It's a very special knowledge that you've got, my friend
You can walk around in New York while you sleep in Penge

I will travel round the world one night
On the magic wings of astral flight
If you've got the secret, tell me do
Have you ever had a dream or two?
Have you ever had a dream or two?

My Dream,
Is a wondrous dream
It's the answer too,
Wanting only you

My Dream,
Is a true delight
My escape at night
From a world that's blue

The world we know
Seems so far away
And where we go
Is for us to say

My Dream,
Is a wealth of joy
No one can destroy
When I dream my dream
It's no common dream
It's a wondrous dream
Dream...

The Platters

one more dream theme from mr. bowie

When I Live My Dream
David Bowie

When I live my dream, I'll take you with me
Riding on a golden horse
We'll live within my castle, with people there to serve you
Happy at the sound of your voice

Baby, I'll slay a dragon for you
Or banish wicked giants from the land
But you will find, that nothing in my dream can hurt you
We will only love each other as forever
When I live my dream

When I live my dream, I'll forgive the things you've told me
And the empty man you left behind
It's a broken heart that dreams, it's a broken heart you left me
Only love can live in my dream

I'll wish, and the thunder clouds will vanish
Wish, and the storm will fade away
Wish again, and you will stand before me while the sky will paint an overture
And trees will play the rhythm of my dream

When I live my dream, please be there to meet me
Let me be the one to understand
When I live my dream, I'll forget the hurt you gave me
Then we can live in our new land

Till the day my dream cascades around me
I'm content to let you pass me by
Till that day, you'll run to many other men
But let them know it's just for now
Tell them that I've got a dream
And tell them you're the starring role
Tell them I'm a dreaming kind of guy
And I'm going to make my dream
Tell them I will live my dream
Tell them they can laugh at me
But don't forget your date with me
When I live my dream

I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven

Spoken:
Last night I dreamed I went to hillbilly heaven. And you know who greeted
me at the gate? The ole cowboy-philosopher himself, Will Rogers. He said
to me, he said Tex, the Big Boss of the riders up here has asked me to
kinda show you around. Now, over yonder are a couple of your ole
compadres. My, was I glad to see them, Carson Robison and the
Mississippi blue yodeler Jimmie Rodgers.

Singing:
I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven

Spoken:
He introduced me to Wiley Post, and he showed me the Hall of Fame with
all the gold guitars and fiddles hanging on the walls. Then he said,
Tex, step over this way, there are two more of your friends I know
youll want to see, theyre waitin for you. There they were standin
side by side and smilin at me--Hank Williams and Johnny Horton.

Singing:
I met all the stars in hillbilly heaven

Spoken:
Then I asked him who else do you expect in the next, uh, say a hundred
years? He handed me a large book covered with star dust. Will called it
the Big Tally Book. In it were many names and each name was branded in
pure gold. I began to read some of them as I turned the pages: Red Foley,
Ernest Tubb, Gene Autry, Roy Acuff, Eddy Arnold, Tennessee Ernie, Jimmy
Dean, Andy Griffith, Roy Rogers, Tex Ritter

Tex Ritter? Oh, well, thats when I woke up, and Im sorry I did, because

Singing:
I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven

Good Morning, WA2K radio.

edgar and dj, those were very lulling good night songs, but unfortunately they didn't work too well for me.

I would like some advice from my listeners on this odd situation:

Yesterday, I kept getting calls from a man who was looking for someone named Tarah. I said that he had the wrong number and there seemed to be a one digit difference. He explained that he only had one arm and it was difficult to put in the correct numbers. I was very patient, and we even laughed at the situation, but when he woke me up last night with the same story, I became very apprehensive, and stayed up most of the night. I don't want to over react, but do any of you think that I should get my telephone number changed?

Ok, enough of that.

Thanks, Bob, for the background on Barry Manilow. About the only song that I enjoyed by him was:

Ready To Take A Chance Again

You remind me I live in a shell,
Safe from the past,
and doing' okay,
but not very well.
No jolts, no surprises,
No crisis arises:
My life goes along as it should,
it's all very nice,
but not very good.
And I'm Ready To Take A Chance Again,
Ready to put my love on the line with you.
Been living with nothing to show for it;
You get what you get when you go for it,
And I'm Ready To Take Chance Again with you.
When she left me in all my despair,
I just held on,
My hopes were all gone.
Then I found you there.
And I'm Ready To Take A Chance Again,
Ready To Take A Chance Again with you,
With you.

Hey, Raggedy. I have had many call ins expressing our listeners' approval of your celeb updates. Thanks, gal. And there's a rat pack person, Dino. Trying to remember if there is anyone left out of that bunch.

Dean Martin is June 7th.

Watch the skies.

No Injuries in Fla. Goodyear Blimp Crash


CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. - A Goodyear blimp crash-landed Thursday night in an industrial park, authorities said. The two people on board were not injured.


The "Stars & Stripes" blimp went down shortly after taking off from Pompano Beach Air Park, where it is based. Both people onboard were trapped briefly while electrical crews cleared the site, authorities said.

The blimp lost most of its helium and was draped across some orange self-storage units in the industrial park. It's nose remained pointed into the air.

Bad weather may have forced the blimp down. There were thunderstorms in the area at the time, authorities said.

The
Federal Aviation Administration was investigating.

"It went right over our building and was making really loud noises," said Maryann Clark, general manager of a nearby restaurant.

The blimp is one of three Goodyear blimps based in the United States. Goodyear leases about 32 acres at the air park as a blimp base, according to the park's Web site.

Posting B.D. celebs is my pleasure, Letty.

Joey Biship is probably the only Rat Pack survivor, but I'm not positive.

Regarding the telephone situation, when you told the caller he had the wrong number, you didn't tell him your telephone number, did you? Do you have caller I.D.?

Thanks, Bob, for that info. I thought that I heard a loud hissing sound.<smile>The storms have been quite violent over our state, but it is beautiful today,folks.

Hi Letty:

I don't think you have to change phone number. Situation #1: probably made same mistake since it's awkward dialing with one arm. Situation #2: pervert getting his jollies talking to woman who would normally ignore him. Situation #3: stalker. If you have caller ID either phone company or police could get you info or recommend course of action. Keep us informed if it continues. Good luck, Sweety.

Thanks, Bob. If it happens again today, I will simply call my friend in the sheriff's dept. I hate to do that, however. I was probably foolish to even discuss anything with him. Five times, however, is a bit odd.

Well, listeners. Should you have anything that you might want to discuss along these lines, give us a ring.
