I think all new great telescopes ought to be put in orbit.
I like the Hawaiian music, the two songs letty played in return for Judy's Priests. And Buddy Knox and Roy Orbison.

The Fat One

yitwail, I have no idea about telescopes, etc. Are you talking about sputnik?

I was teasing you about the queen, etc.

Here's The Red Army Choir doing a tribute to that odd orb.

hbg, back later to acknowledge your contributions.

edgar, Love Walking to New Orleans and your comment. Funny.

hbg, didn't know that Pearlies of St. Pankras. Good one and thanks again for the introduction.

I guess, yitwail, I'm just a dumb blonde when it come to astronomy. Let's allow Walt to express it for me.

Walt Whitman (1819-1892)

When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer

WHEN I heard the learn'd astronomer;
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns
before me;
When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add,
divide, and measure them;
When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he
lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick;
Till rising and gliding out, I wander'd off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars.

Great mix of music on WA2K radio.

The Cold Hard Truth

Love George Jones doing The Cold Hard Truth, edgar.

Here's an answer by Reba.

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

First Flatt and Scruggs.

Great songs today on WA2K.

So nice having Hawaii and Ontario with us.

From Letty with love to everyone, everywhere

Preshus Memries and Country wasn't Cool are good songs, letty.
Jamayka Fairwell is among my favorites.

Good morning

See you all later

Hurry back, edgar. Had to shut down our studio because of the tornado and flooding threats. Thanks again for your comments.

Loved Sweet Baby James and Dolly's Silver Threads and Golden Needles

Our signal has been restored. McTag and family are visiting Wales and it reminded me of Lord Raglan. When he moved to England he added the British "d" to his name and became Lord Ragland.

He's the one who gave the order to charge in the Light Brigade.

First a visit to Wales.

Now, a birthday guy Roy Clark. What a performer.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ai84U2SHRtE

and his version of this wonderful song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxDQQDF6j0Y

I don't feel up to doing music just now.

Here is one by Hoot Gibson and written by Ruthie Steele

Glad you're okay, edgar.

You sent me searching again.

Born Edmund Richard Gibson in Tekamah, Nebraska, he learned to ride a horse while still a very young boy. His family moved to California when he was seven years old. As a teenager he worked with horses on a ranch, which led to competition on bucking broncos at area rodeos. Given the nickname "Hoot Owl" by co-workers, the name evolved to just "Hoot".

Loved The Wind has Been Hard on her wings.

Going to say good night with two songs. First The theme from the Good The Bad and the ugly.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQGGQ-FCe_w

Those sounds were probably coyotes.

Now Doc Watson.

The melody is the same do the words are different

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbhhW54PItM




now Doc Watson

Now Doc Watson. The melody is the same but the lyrics are different

To this day the only person that I've been with when they died was my dad and he told me to quit grinning at him like a possum. Then we sang Don't Let the deal go down.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbhhW54PItM

From Letty with love to the world

On the album Bull Durham Sacks and Railroad Tracks, Ramblin Jack does a Don't let your deal go down also.

I just watched The Good the Bad and the Ugly (again) Saturday.

A train song

Listeners, here's a lovely instrumental by Mr Augustus Pablo, on mallets instead of his trademark melodica:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ke12PV-8ZU

would have played this sooner but was under the weather today

going to speak with our editor about my mistakes on the transcripts. Sorry that I played Doc Watson twice.

edgar, Loved Jerry Lee's Mystery Train, and thanks again for your update on Don't Let the Deal Go Down.

honu, I think everyone is a bit under the weather. The Dow just dropped almost three hundred points, and another Boston massacre. Many people were killed at the Boston Marathon.

Loved Augustus Pablo. Didn't know him, so thanks again for the introduction.

Two songs for the morning here.

First, another Pablo.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1ZYhVpdXbQ

here another OLDIE - just slightly wilder !

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu6--WBPBHo

hbg, Thanks for restoring our signal.

Love Gene Kelly's Singing in the Rain as well as that fabulous trio doing Good Morning. Loved the different languages they used to say "good Morning", Ontario.

Here are a couple of birthday guys.

First Bobby Vinton.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icfq_foa5Mo

Now a tribute to Henry Mancini by a high school band in Myrtle Beach. Haven't you been there?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOg7tLpLt3M

Know every one of those themes
