WA2K Radio is now on the air

Welcome back, Vonny. Loved Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood by Nina as well as Time is on My Side by Irma.

Here's another Nina. The singing bus driver was first introduce to me by a member of my husband's jazz band, Fred. (RIP)

Matt Monro is great - thanks for that.

I love musicals, and one of my favourites is Carousel. Here's the wonderful Mario Lanza with If I Loved You -

Thanks for your comment, Vonny. Love Mario doing If I loved You.

Here's another by him. You probably don't know Prince Gautam, but we'll dedicate this one to him.

A lovely song!

A favourite musical from my childhood's memory bank is South Pacific - some great song memories from that -

I have been checking out the music. All good songs that I already like. Didn't know the Lone Ranger song. When I was a kid the L Ranger was never to be missed. The whole family gathered at the radio to listen.

The Fleetwoods

Vonny, you and I share the same taste in music. Love that one from South Pacific. Tell us something about yourself, dear friend.

edgar, Thanks for your comment, and Come Softly by the Fleet Woods was great.

Anyone remember Elsa?

Here's Matt again.

My favorite Matt song is softly as I Leave You.

Ray Price

another great songstress has her birthday today - the wonderful Miss Peggy Lee .

" Is That All There Is ? "

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe9kKf7SHco

edgar, Love that one by Ray Price, and more synchronicity because that is the one by Matt that I'm saying goodnight with.

hbg, My favorite one by Peggy is Songs Were Made to sing while we're young, but all I could find were the lyrics.

Saying goodnight with Matt first.

Now, y'all, guess what this was the theme to?

Odd, the bomb threat that we had here turned out to be a tackle box.

with love to everyone from Letty.

The Lone Ranger's theme is actually good music on its own.
I appreciate Matt. He was with us too short a time.

Solomon Burke

I'll never tell! At least not overtly.

msletty ,

My Conviction

Not a lot to tell, Letty. I'm English - born and bred in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the North-East of England but lived in the South for a long time - married - love dogs and music. I have a very catholic taste in music - Bach to blues, opera to heavy metal, classic rock, just about everything - and, of course, I have a special fondness for musicals - I think I've mentally choreographed every step of West Side Story and know most of the lyrics from South Pacific - both big favourites of mine. My husband is more of a Blues and Folk man - preferring the very early music in these genres.

We only acquired computers three years ago, and I started using A2K Lovatt's crossword puzzling threads in March 2011, only moving across to the games and chat threads in January of this year. Keep finding some great new threads - like this one - which I thoroughly enjoy!

Here are three video clips from Carmen Jones, another favourite. A lot of memories here - somebody gave me the LP when I was a child, and I've loved it ever since.

Great music for memorial day on WA2K radio.

edgar, Love Solomon's If You Need Me.

hbg, Hilarious version by Spike Jones and Goodnight Sweetheart was great/

Vonny, how delightful to find out that you are British. Having formerly lived in Virginia, I know all about you Brits. (in your case, Britess)

Love Carmen Jones and Bizet.

Up early this morning, but here's a salute.



Another Jazz man's birthday.

Hope I didn't miss anyone. A bit groggy today.

Ragman, ?

good morning to all and happy birthday to :

Good morning to you, hbg. Didn't know Junior Parker's Five Long Years, but thanks for the info and the introduction.

Be sure and check out Ramsey Lewis. Wade in the Water is an old spiritual.

I always thought this song was for the buddy system in the fox hole during the war, but now I'm not certain.

Victor Borge and My Buddy - my favorites of the last music played.
