WA2K Radio is now on the air

edgar, you sent me searching concerning Robert John.

He is best remembered for the 1979 hit, "Sad Eyes". This song, which features John's falsetto vocals, reached Number One on the Billboard Hot 100. Earlier, in 1963 he recorded as the lead singer with Bobby & the Consoles. Recording for Diamond records, they had a small local hit with "My Jelly Bean".

Great one, Texas.

Here's a surprise, folks.

Two versions of the same song.

First, Diana

Afternoon Ms Letty,Ed and all WA2K folks.Here's the answer to the Pop Quiz - who was playing the Fender Rhodes on Andy's song?....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=KaTs-NmoIag
Georgie Fame - Moodys Mood For Love.

Busy - busy. Catch you later folks.

Makem And Clancy - The Coast Of Malabar

No wonder I failed that pop quiz. Never hear of Georgie Fame, but I did search him out, Brit.

Georgie Fame (born Clive Powell; 26 June 1943) is a British rhythm and blues and jazz singer and keyboard player. The one-time rock and roll tour musician, who had a string of 1960s hits, is still a popular performer, often working with contemporaries such as Van Morrison and Bill Wyman

I had forgotten about the devastation that Harry created.

TOKYO (AP) — A grandson of ex-U.S. President Harry Truman, who ordered the atomic bombings of Japan during World War II, is in Hiroshima to attend a memorial service for the victims.

Clifton Truman Daniel visited the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park on Saturday and laid a wreath for the 140,000 people killed by the Aug. 6, 1945, bombing authorized by his grandfather. Another atomic blast in Nagasaki three days later killed 70,000 more.

I recall my son having told me that the first bomb was to test for uranium and the second for plutonium.



Which leads me to play this one.

Oops missed your song, euro. Will be back later to acknowledge

Don't you worry about it Miss Letty, have a good day now.

The song by Bobby and Diana is one that does not get a lot of plays. Good one.
The Andrews sisters always seemed drawn to comics.

Art and Dotty Todd

Hi folks, well with the night that's in it we have to play.....

Here's a couple suggested by my house guest Bryce....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApWLGUETx54&feature=related
Trampled Under Foot - Love My Baby.

and an old classic....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfM6nRVBvGs
The Allman Brothers - Jessica.

Both live,as it should be.

Thanks, Texas, for your comments and keeping up on the air. Art and Dotty Todd doing Broken Wings was a good one. Don't know them, however.

Of course, Tony doing Fly Me to the Moon was great.

euro, Coast of Malabar was excellent. Love David Bowie's Life on Mars as well as Three Coins doing that great Irish fiddle.

Hey, Brit. Great one by T.U.F. Don't know Love My Baby but it was truly good.

The Allman Brothers doing Jessica was good as well.

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

First, one by Joseph Haydn.

I realize that yawl may get tired of me doing Rudolph Valentino, but ever since I saw Anthony Dexter doing the story of his life I've become an avid fan.

Wonderful having Canada, Dublin, and London with us.

From a very tired Letty but as always with love

G'night Ms PD.Here's another Rud.......... Val.........

Rudy Vallee - Orchids In The Moonlight.
Laters WA2K.

Good night folks.

Good morning. Mars has a new resident. A machine from the Earth. Let's hope it leaves no plastic wraps and bottles littering the landscape.

"Space: the final frontier. This is the voyage of the Rover Curiosity . Its mission:
to explore a strange new world, to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no machine has gone before."

Good morning folks.

Sean Tyrrell - - Wild Mountain Thyme
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2MxPOhRx0I

Maybe catch you later.

edgar, I'm with you on the Rover thingy.

euro, Wild Mountain Thyme is one of my favorites by Sean.

For our Brit, not Judy, Judy, Judy, but Rudy, Rudy, Rudy. I recall having awakened in the middle of the night when I lived in Virginia and hearing this one by him. (loved Orchids in the Moonlight tango, incidentally)

It was from the movie, My Own Private Idaho.

Now a birthday girl.

Good day Miss Letty, Deep Night, a lovely easy on the ears tune.

Happy Birthday Michelle .... we wouldn't want to forget Michelle's birthday, gulp.

Jackie Wilson

euro, I love Reet Petite by Jackie. Thanks for your comment, Irish. There was a revival of the megaphone singer later. I love to listen to music that has evolved over the years, and here is a Rodgers and Hart example.
