Billy Taylor - I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free.

Laters WA2K.

Barry, I loved Blossom Dearie teaching us how to say Auf Wiedersehn

Rock, That one by Carol Burnette was funny, and she sure ain't Shy.

Going to say goodnight now. It's a bit early, but I was pounded by Wodin this evening and it rained and thundered and lightning strikes were everywhere.

First, to match our Brits song. Vera Lynn. What a surprise to find that she was cockney and that her last name was cockney rhyming (Lynn/gin).

She is still with us.

Now a little jazz by Stan with lyrics to match his One Note Samba.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vg1xlLufxIU&feature=related

And the lyrics.

This is just a little samba
Built upon a single note
Other notes are bound to follow
But the root is still that note

Now this new note is the consequence
of the one we've just been through
As I'm bound to be the unavoidable
consequence of you

There's so many people
who can talk and talk and talk
and just say nothing
or nearly nothing


I have used up all
the scale I know and at the end
I've come to nothing
or nearly nothing

So I come back to the one note
as I must come back to you
I will pour into that this one note
all the love I feel for you.

My way of saying from Letty with love to all of you.

Good morning, folks. I'm not ignoring everyone's posts. Just don't have it in me to comment this morning. See you all later on the radio.

Good morning, WA2K folks. edgar, it isn't necessary for you to acknowledge every song that we PLAY here. Suffice it to say they are all good.

Missed Barry's Billy Taylor last evening so here is a reminder of that great performer.

Billy Taylor (July 24, 1921 – December 28, 2010 was an American jazz pianist, composer, broadcaster and educator. He was the Robert L. Jones Distinguished Professor of Music at East Carolina University in Greenville, and since 1994, he was the artistic director for jazz at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C

Taylor was a Jazz activist. He sat on the Honorary Founders Board of The Jazz Foundation of America. In 1989, Billy Taylor, Ann Ruckert, Herb Storfer and Phoebe Jacobs started The Jazz Foundation to save the homes and the lives of America's elderly jazz and blues musicians, later including musicians that survived Hurricane Katrina.

Billy Taylor was also one of the foremost jazz educators. He lectured in colleges, served on panels and travelled worldwide as a jazz ambassador. Critic Leonard Feather once said, "It is almost indisputable that Dr. Billy Taylor is the world's foremost spokesman for jazz".

Thought that I would remember some of the great actors of Hollywood first.

And from Turner Classic Movies, I Walked With a Zombie, the theme music.

Another afternoon session.

Calling Rockhead. More synchronicity. Today is Damon Runyon's birthday, so here is another one by that fabulous composer.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7XAj3S0Sp8&feature=relmfu

I knew most of the actors, letty.

What Now

Thanks again for restoring our signal, edgar. You sent me searching, however.

Helmut Lotti, is a Flemish Belgian tenor and singer-songwriter. Lotti performs in several styles and languages: Once an Elvis impersonator, he has sung African and Latino hit records, and he crossed over into classical music in the 1990s

I knew most of those actors, too.

What Now was a great imitation of "the king"

Another birthday girl.

First some info.

Susan Sarandon is an American actress. She has worked in movies and television since 1969, and won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in the 1995 film Dead Man Walking

Now, a tribute.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwrJjP6dZCs&feature=related

I recall my older sister telling me about I Walked with a Zombie, and when it was on last evening. I watched it.

I only know a few of her films, letty.

Janis Ian
Insanity Comes Quietly to the Structured Mind

She did Dead Man Walking, edgar, but I checked it out, and I don't think that I saw it.

That one by Janis Ian I didn't know, but it was a strange one.

Remember Helen Reddy? I think about my daughter when I hear it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6_npxOEGW8&feature=fvwrel

And here's the one that I recall best by Janis Ian.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3Sg6kwpEfQ&feature=related

I stay tired myself, but it will pass.

Jesse is one of Janis' best songs.

Ray Price

Drop Kick Me Jesus was funny, edgar. Also liked Ray Price's You're the Best Thing That ever happened to Me.

How about a Bon Jovi song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6rYh_o3W_U&feature=related

Dr. Hook did that one as well.

I like Sylvia's Mother. Never heard it by Jon.

Odetta

Thanks again for your comment and for keeping us on the air, edgar. Where is everyone?

Love Odetta Holmes doing Tomorrow is a Long Time. Don't know why, but this song by Joan and Pete came to mind.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWvNyjg1xdM&feature=related

good song, letty. I know it by other artists.
