WA2K Radio is now on the air

Good morning, everyone. Sorry about the boredom y'all.

edgar, I know Little Old Winemaker Me best by Deano. What a surprise to find out that Robert did that one. Pearl Bailey's song was good.

pushman, I never hear that dog song that I don't think about The Camptown Races. Al Jolson did it with a bunch of Minstrels. He broke all the rules, too.

Two songs for the morning here in Florida. First, it's "the kings" birthday, and here is my favorite by him. It's based on the poem by Alexander Pope.

Yesterday was Joan of Arc's birthday. This L Cohen song is not specifically about her, but she appears in a cameo role.

I was in that army yes I stayed a little while
I want to thank you Joan of Arc for treating me so well

My name is Daffy Duck
I used to work on a merry-go-round

The merry-go-round broke down
Hoo hoo

This is my favourite Al Jolson track, it's in my favourite film The 9th Configuration.

edgar, I like that one by Leonard. Don't forget to check out "the Freshmen". You to Pushman. Love that Rainbow song by Al.

Two songs for the afternoon.

first, The Maid of Orleans (Jeanne D'arc)

Now, Al again.

There is at least one other Joan of Arc song, but I opt instead to play the Rolling Stones.

Sittin on top of the world is a great Al song, letty.

Hey, pushman. That song was played in the movie The Ninth Configuration? I saw that movie, and it was fantastic."twinkle, twinkle Killer Kane"?

edgar, That was a funny rolling stone song.

Awakened to a TCM the other evening and this was showing. Love Babs song from it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNEcQS4tXgQ

Yes it is at 4.17 on this clip. It's my favourite film, at points hilarious and at other points so very moving.

That's one of Barbra's better recordings.

Jeannie C Riley

pushman, I think the message behind that book and movie was that Killer Kane was willing to sacrifice himself to help the astronaut to believe in himself again.

edgar, Love that memory of Jeannie doing Harper Valley PTA.

saying goodnight with Shirley Bassey whose birthday is today.

Always great to have our Brit with us. Hope there will be more countries here tomorrow.

From Letty with love and good memories to all of you

Shirley is a fine artist, letty.

Marty Robbins

edgar, thanks again for your comment and that song by Marty was a great version. I recall it best by Little Richard, however. Having a wee bit of a problem with the equipment in our Florida radio station, so I hope it gets worked out.

Two song for the morning here. First, remembering Tom Selleck.

Anyone remember Magnum P.I. ?

Now, a birthday gal.

Hope all is well in Ontario.

All's well in Orange Street.

Crystal Gayle - sister to Loretta Lynn - is another fine country gal. Here is Loretta

They still rerun Magnum on local TV.

pushman, I loved that Madness by Prince.

edgar, Loretta Lynn's Blue Kentucky Girl was great.

Here are two versions of Madness that are an answer to The Prince.

First, Diana Krall.

Now, Nat Cole


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k656qg23GmY

Which do you prefer?

There's not much in it, but I'd probably have to go to Nat King Cole. Diana Krall did a version of this too.
