WA2K Radio is now on the air

Replying via our edgar again.

Contra Bandista great

Love Angels Unaware.

Ah, Siboney is one of my favorites.

Bethie's song is great as well.

Maple Leaf Rag of course.

Up early? here's why:


When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,

Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow

Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.

For our cockney friend. Happy Belated birthday, Barry.



and from the fab four.

We were there last year, at the best damn Christmas Market ever!

I love Pogo, as we all know.
Thanks, letty.

You're most welcome, edgar. Want to dance?

Today is this guy's birthday.

letty ,
if YOU want to dance just put on your LEDERHOSEN ( leatherpants ) , grab an AXE - and join the Boys from the Bavarian Alps for a " Schuhplattler " . ... ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7P7BPK3wHao

The Schuhplattler is a traditional folk dance popular in the Alpine regions of Bavaria and Austria. It evolved from the Ländler.
The origins of this social dance are found in an early courtship display (Balztanz). Such a dance was described in 1050 by a monk of Tegernsee Abbey in the knightly poem Ruodlieb, wherein similar postures and movements of the Schuhplatter are depicted.[1][2] The homelands of the Schuhplattler dance are the Northern Limestone Alps (Bavarian Prealps, Chiemgau and Berchtesgaden Alps) of Upper Bavaria (Germany) and the adjacent Austrian states of Tyrol and Salzburg, down to South Tyrol and the Drava Valley in Carinthia .

( remember that you will be expected to drink BAVARIAN beer and eat LARGE , BLACK RADISHES )

Love that dance, hbg. Unfortunately, the leather pants that I once owned with attachments at the bottom to keep them inside my boots are gone. Also love that info that you provided.

Remember this dance, because so long ago, part of it was filmed at Mountain Lake. The lake that appeared out of nowhere suddenly disappeared.

Also saw The Rockettes at radio city music hall in New York.

Dirty Dancing was a popular movie around my house.

I guess they will, edgar.

That one by The Trans-Siberian Orchestra was fabulous, especially the visuals. Thanks for the introduction.

Here's one that my mom loved.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTvZdDQpK4g

and the condensed lyrics.


The Bells of St. Mary's
Ah, hear they are calling
The young loves, the true loves
Who come from the sea

And so my beloved
When red leaves are falling
The love bells shall ring out, ring out
For you and me

I know a version of that song. That's a good one also.
