WA2K Radio is now on the air

Good morning from here in our Florida radio station.

edgar, Loved Theodore and Judy doing Greenland Fisheries. Didn't know that one so thanks for the introduction. Appreciate your comment on Herman's Hermits, too.

Two songs for the morning here. First a birthday guy and what a shock to discover that he might have been murdered.

Here he is with Cher:

and, y'all, our hymn for today:

Just posted this on the beers thread. It's from the film Champagne Charlie, which tells of a rivalry between two music halls. You've also got false outrage from the theatres complaining that music halls encouraged drunkenness, but they were really concerned that they were taking away their customers.

I was a bit of a fan when Sonny and Cher were together - not so much after they split.

Francoise Hardy
All over the World

The London Philharmonic does that hymn nicely, letty.

Welcome back, pushman. Don't know that man, but his song was great.

edgar. Thanks for you comment, and I enjoyed your contribution. More synchronicity, Texas. Your reincarnation Edgar Bergen is our birthday man.

Here are a funny trio doing a song.

O my goodness, I chased edgar off. Come back, Texas.

Another birthday man, but first some info.

Another version of the hymn.

Hope some of our listeners and contributors will tell us which version that they like the best.

I have always had a great deal of respect for Edgar Bergen and his two daughters.
Don't know much about Levar Burton.

Jimmy Charles

Welcome back, edgar/Shane. Don't know much about Jimmy Charles either, but a Million to One was a good one.

Which version of Once to Every Man and Nation did you like the best?

Your rose song reminded me of this one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQNhVkPnf8o

I remember that song, letty.
I didn't listen to the second version of the hymn. I am not into hymns enough to listen to them that much.

Tony Bennett

edgar, I remember Dicky Lee best for Strange Things Happen in this World. Great chord changes in that song. I just played it on our radio station piano.

Good one by Tony. and it reminded me of, "....I met a girl who sang the blues, and I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and walked away..."

Dear Janis:

Janis did that song as a part of Big Brother and the Holding Company. The album, Cheap Thrills, is high on my list of all time favorites.

Going to say goodnight with The Four Freshman and we'll dedicate this to Bert Lee and his lovely wife Josie. hope this on plays, y'all.
