WA2K Radio is now on the air

To me, many Johnny Horton records are as fresh as when he made them.

Devoted to You

Yes, they are, edgar. Devoted to You is a great one by those guys.

From the news desk:

CLEVELAND, OH -- Still rockin' at 86, music legend Chuck Berry promised a comeback Saturday with six new songs, some written 16 years ago.

"And as soon as I can get someone to guide me -- and I do know a little about the business -- I want to push them out," he told reporters at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, which honored him with an award and tribute concert. "I'm going to come back and push them out if you know what I mean, somehow."

Berry, a rock pioneer with early hits that included "Roll Over Beethoven," `'Sweet Little Sixteen" and "Johnny B. Goode," wouldn't tip his hand in detail about the new songs or when they might be released.

"They might be old, but they are the same type of music that I have been playing," he said.

Love this one by him.

I have a record of Chuck's original studio recordings. In my view, they represent rock n roll at its very best.

The Drummer and the Cook

Don't know The Drummer and the Cook by Harry, edgar, but it was a goodie. What a performer.

Today is this guy's birthday. First, some info.

Dear Barry, Audrey did such a great job doing Moon River. Gave me a few tears.

She also did a funny version of Mr. Mozart's Turkey Trot. Different lyrics, however.

Thanks for the comment, Barry. Ah, "the eternal virgin". Don't know A Wonderful Guy by her, but she was good.

Ontario was with us yesterday, and it's great to have Scotland with us again today. Of course, London is always great, Barry.
