WA2K Radio is now on the air

Letty, thanks for "Mambo Italiano". It was very popular in East Bosotn back
in the day. A lot of the words are in the dialect of southern Italians who
emigrated to the States, so I imagine Italian Italians would turn up their
noses. Eh, va naboli!

Well, if the world won't come to us, we'll go to the world.

Latin George, Loved bothe of those French songs, especially the French Canadian.

Send in the Clowns

And a tender ballad to say good night.

Mario Lanza - lyric, expressive, tonality, drama, full of nuance but seemingly effortless...and the most amazing dynamic range. His was a voice for all times:
If I Loved You

Good morning WA2K.
I'll be going on vacation tomorrow, so I may not post for a while.
Happy listening!

Good morning from our radio station here in Florida. Latin George, have a wonderful vacation, dear friend.

edgar, Send in the Clowns was greart, and Jerry Lee doing Mona Lisa gave me a big smile.
Ragman, Mario doing If I love You was great.

Inspired by edgar and Ragman, here's Enrico doing a clown. So glad that my older sister introduced me to him via Mario.

Now, a birthday man, y'all.

Some more Mott.

Welcome back,pushman. Mott the Hoople doing that Memphis song was funny and good.

Another birthday guy, but first some info:

Blue Sky was born on September 18, 1938, in Columbia, South Carolina, as Warren Edward Johnson. In 1954, his first foray into art won him a national poster competition, two years before he graduated from Dreher High School. For the next six years, he served as a jet aircraft technician in the Air National Guard, 169th Cameron Squad, while working several different jobs to pay for college – as a parade float builder, a layout artist, and a dance instructor, among others.

Now his odd sculpture:

Tom Waits - Alice



It's dreamy weather we're on
You waved your crooked wand
Along an icy pond, with a frozen moon
A murder of silhouette crows, I saw in the tears on my face
And the skates on the pond, they spelled Alice

I disappear in your name, but you must wait for me
Somewhere beneath the sea, there's the wreck of a ship
Your hair is like meadow-grass on the tide
And the raindrops on my window, and the ice in my drink
Baby, all I can think of is Alice

Arithme-tic, arithme-toc, turn the hands back on the clock
How does the ocean rock the boat?
How did the razor find my throat?
The only strings that hold me here are tangled up around the pier

And so a secret kiss brings madness with the bliss
And I will think of it when I'm dead in my grave
It set me adrift, and I'm lost in your hair
And I must be insane, to go skating on your name
And by tracing it twice, I fell through the ice of Alice

There's only Alice

Welcome back to you as well, Monsieur Olivier.

Tom Waits and his hoarse voice doing Alice was quite appealing as it led me to this Alice:

Good morning. We are off to a good start. Fine music, peeples.

Take me back to Chicago

Welcome back, Texas. "I saw a man who danced with his wife there." Loved Taked Me Back to Chicago by Chicago.

Well, since today is "thor's day", how about some White Lightning.

Many people don't know that the Big Bopper wrote that George Jones song.

It has been raining heavily all day.

Carole King

Ah, Texas, I love Carole King doing that one. Didn't know it, so thanks again for the memory.

Ah, I didn't know that "the big bopper" did White Lightening. I think of the three of them who died in that awful plane crash so many years ago.

I'll bet a lot of people don't know that Carole wrote this one for James either(thanks to Bert Lee)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEkIou3WFnM

I did lose a friend, James. <sniff>

For Ragman.

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

Bet he is better than that one.

and for Izzie who I truly miss. Hope she is alright.

Once again, calling all musicians, music lovers, painters, poets and chatters.

Been getting heavy rain all day.
