WA2K Radio is now on the air

I wore out one of his cassettes back in the 80s.

Good morning. I ran system restore on my computer last night. Still got a bug to be worked out.

Okay, Letty, one more travel song and that's it: running out of destinations.

Dell Shannon

hbg, Welcome back. Love that song as done by Coleman and the two great guys on piano and guitar. Just discovered that Hoagy wrote Stardust.

Well, this is Thor day and he hammers bad weather our way, too.

Today is this guy's birthday.

François-Marie Arouet, known by his nom de plume Voltaire, was a French Enlightenment writer, historian and philosopher famous for his wit.

voltaire wrote candide.

First a tribute by a great orchestra to the man.

Now a popular song taken from his works.

Hope our edgar got some dramamine for his mal de mer problem.

Heard from Diane, and it's so nice to know that she is fine, too. Now four member of the Cocoa gathering are all together

uh-oh. another bump bump

Your links are awry, letty.

There are other glitches at large. My last post was a test of will power.

How odd, y'all.

Love all of the songs by our contributors.

Today is Voltaire's birthday:

First, an orchestra tribute.

Now, Tony with a popular song.

From Voltaire and Tony to Etta and Poo Poo Pa Doo

neco, Come Fly With Me was perfect.

edgar, Loved Marty and Dell Shannon too.

Funny one by Etta doing that Po Pa Doo song.

Inspired by hbg, I went searching for Hoagy Carmichael.

First, some info.

"Hoagy" Carmichael (born Howard Hoagland Carmichael; November 22, 1899 – December 27, 1981) was an American composer, pianist, singer, actor, and bandleader. He is best known for composing the music for "Stardust", "Georgia on My Mind", "The Nearness of You", and "Heart and Soul", four of the most-recorded American songs of all time.]

American composer and author Alec Wilder wrote of Carmichael in American Popular Song: The Great Innovators, 1900–1950 that he was the "most talented, inventive, sophisticated and jazz-oriented" of the hundreds of writers composing pop songs in the first half of the 20th century

How about Old Buttermilk Sky.

I've always loved Hoagy, whether it be music or acting.

The Four Seasons

Thanks to all of you for the wonderful music played on our radio.

edgar, thanks for your comment of Hoagy and that great song(funny as well) Don't think Twice It's Alright.

saying goodnight with two versions of Schubert's Seremade

First the classical.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpA0l2WB86E

Now, Nelson Eddy



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMm9NdrlgEw

We'll dedicate the second one to Setanta.

From Letty with love to everyone

Uh-Oh. Setanta blocked it.

Another Serenade.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31zIlPxsQkM

Ah, so Setanta is involved in this esoteric thread (I hope he brings his talent for history to it). The expertise of the participants is impressive to me because, in part, of my overwhelming ignorance of American popular culture. I've fallen so far behind.

Good morning, WA2K folks.

edgar, How odd. Nelson Eddy and his Serenade worked this morning, but your Donkey one wouldn't.

J.L. Welcome to our station. I guess we can do lots of music and art now.

Here's a wonderful morning song for our listeners and contributors. See how any you recognize.

Hi Miss Letty, just listened to your melody of music from the 60's and 70's, really nice.

Here's one from the 80's from one of my favourite Scottish bands, The Blue Nile. Hope it plays.

Lets go out tonight.

Have to head out and about, one for the road from Horslips.

King of the Fairies.

Hope to see you later.

euroGeorge, Welcome back. I just found out that The Blue Nile is a group from Glascow , Scotland. Loved it as well as King of the Fairies.

Hurry back, dear friend, and I sat down at the piano and tried to play, I'll take you Home Again Kathleen. Fantastic chord changes, Irish.

Here's one for you.
