WA2K Radio is now on the air

Hi, Miss Letty. Greetings to all on the Radio.

Here's one you might like, Saint-Saens Organ Symphony.
It's been a pop song too, a couple of times. Used in the film "Babe".
Nice theme.

Coincidentally, I am playing in a performance of "Messiah" on Sunday, with 190 singers.
Looking forward to that, should be good.

Messiah's a great piece, of course.

( even the Hamburg Police - and their horses - was " in attendance " -

it was a " smash hit " !!! )

hbg, Billy Zane worked. Hope all of our contributors will listen to that one.

McTag, Welcome back. Love that symphony by kuh-MEEL san-SAWN and I am delighted that you will be preforming Handel with 190 singers.

edgar, I love that version of They Can't Take That Away from Me by "the velvet fog".

Neko Man. Good to see you here as well, and Sixteen Candles by Bill Haley was a good one.

Going to say goodnight a bit early tonight as I have company coming.

From Letty with love to all of you.

I Feel so Bad

Hi Hbg

The first time I was in Hamburg, two friends and I were hitchhiking round Europe; we went into the Star Club (internationally famous by then from The Beatles days) and the curtains were closed. Then the announcer's voice said "Und jetzt, meine Damen und Herren, die "Big Six", aus Glasgow!) The curtains opened and a very good blues band started up.
That was a big surprise for three lads from that city. Happy days.

Good morning to all from here in our Florida radio station.

edgar, Feel So Bad by "the king" is one that I didn't know. It doesn't sound much like Elvis.

McTag, I'll be that was fun.

Today is Enrico Caruso's birthday, and I never think of that marvelous tenor, that I don't think of Paul Robeson as musical experts have dubbed him as the best base performer in history.

First, Enrico in one of his best performances:

Now, Paul:

Here's Camille's theme again, sung by the mice from "Babe".

Get ready to smile!

It's kinda catchy. Dance around, 70s style.

funny, mctag. Hurry back.

Calling all sinners? Nope, calling all artists. Today is Renoir's birthday.

Here is a tribute to that fantastic painter:

Hope when our contributors get the chance, they will listen to Paul and Enrico

Suds and Soda, not to everyone's taste, very discordant, but I love it.

Robeson and Caruso songs are mighty fine, letty.

Happy Birthday, George

pushman, That one is too much like rap. If you like it, that's fine, however.

edgar, thanks for your acknowledgement of Paul and Enrico. Love Manana by Peggy Lee. I never hear her that I don't think of JL Nobody. I was hoping that he would respond to that artist tribute.

Dear, George. To me, he had one of the best voices of the fab four. Love that one by him.

We know how our pushman loves Matt Monroe, so we'll do this for him.

Although the visuals contain many animals. It is really about Elsa. Here is some info.

Elsa the lioness was raised by game warden George Adamson and his wife Joy Adamson in Kenya. Elsa and her two sisters, "Big One" and "Lustica", first came under the care of the Adamsons when only a few weeks old

Now, y'all, the song.
