WA2K Radio is now on the air

Thanks, Letty, for the Neruda poem..

sort of goes with the Ai du piece that followed.

Olivier 5, welcome back. You sent me searching, France.


Touré was born in Niafunké, Mali in 1981 to Ali Farka Touré. Despite his father's discouragement and his family's lineage as a tribe of soldiers, Touré secretly took up the guitar and enrolled in the Institut National des Arts in Bamako, Mali.

Fantastic guitarist and song. Love to learn here.

Let's continue to let the music play, osso/jo

Just a reminder to our contributors and listeners. We no longer use the rating system because it doesn't match the format of our radio station.

Osso/Jo, glad you liked the poem.

Sorry that I played those brother twice. My son and daughter loved them.

McTag, Welcome back my Scottish friend. You have a brave heart. Loved that Lollipop song by your friend that you met.

edgar, That drinking song by Harry was a good one as well as was the one by Ray and Faron.

Going to say a good afternoon with two songs. First a funny one:

Love the parody, y'all.

Now, one by "old blue eyes" that suits October:

Wonderful having Scotland and France with us today.

From Letty with love to the world

Good early morning to all from here in our Florida radio station.
The light is shedding through our window, so I decided to play two songs for the morning:

First, Bach:

Now, a tribute to a birthday guy:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Stq-JJgOJhA

Now, our poem for today:


All Day I Hear the Noise of Waters

All day I hear the noise of waters
Making moan,
Sad as the sea-bird is when, going
Forth alone,
He hears the winds cry to the water's
Monotone.

The grey winds, the cold winds are blowing
Where I go.
I hear the noise of many waters
Far below.
All day, all night, I hear them flowing
To and fro.
James Joyce

Another birthday guy:
It's been a long time since I laughed, but I did at Vonny and Region's contribution on the spoon.

Come on, Chuck Berry, make us all laugh.

Perfect for Halloween, y'all.

George C. Scott's The Changeling; Exorcist?

I always enjoy Chuck Berry.
Writers who write both fiction and poetry sometimes appear to be two separate persons. James Joyce wrote complicated prose, but most of his poems are relatively simple.

Beginning to see the Light

"Beginning To See The Light" is a longtime favorite of mine.
I never heard Bobby Darin's version before.

edgar, Had no idea that Bobby did that one. Latin George, you and I are on the same track.

Here's Ella's version: I sang that when I was in the fifth grade.

and our counselor don't want sissies; so he reads to us from something called Ulysses.

She & Him -- Never Wanted Your Love

Eventually

Latin George, She and Him? Love it, buddy.

edgar, Eventually by "little miss dynamite" was great.

Here's a funny one:


One fine day in the middle of the night
Two dead boys got up to fight
Back to back they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other

One was blind and the other couldn't see
So they chose a dummy for a referee
A blind man went to see fair play
A dumb man went to shout "hooray!"

A paralyzed donkey passing by
Kicked the blind man in the eye
Knocked him through a 9 inch wall
Into a dry ditch and drowned them all

A deaf policeman heard the noise
And came to arrest the 2 dead boys
If you don't believe this story's true
Ask the blind man, he saw it, too!

Now, an old fashioned love song.

Good one from 3 dogs nights

Here is Glen Campbell's farewell song

Maybe he is still on the line. (that noise in the background are flutes)
