WA2K Radio is now on the air

That's it for catching up today (still pages back) because I want to keep Ike and Tina in my head. Make me shimmy around the house, at least in my mind.

Elodie Frégé - Au Dessus de la Ceinture
(nothing lasts above the belt)

Today's offering from the Bard of Avon.

The royal tree hath left us royal fruit,
Which, mellow'd by the stealing hours of time,
Will well become the seat of majesty,
And make , no doubt us happy by his reign.

Richard III Act III Sc VII

And a couple of birthdays. Dicky Appleby and Dicky Lyndhurst.

Happy Birthday to a pair of Dicks.

Love Sunny Side of the Street, Druid, Mass.

Always enjoy our edgar's comments too. Wish I could comment on each song, but as Perry would say: "It's Impossible".

Once again, we do NOT use the rating system here as it does not fit the format of our radio station.

Part of the lyrics, y'all.


I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him to listen for a while
And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes

Strumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song, killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words, killing me softly with his song.

Hey Latin George. The Shearing guy did that one for you.

and my quote for the day:


Matthew Henry:
There are none so blind as those who will not see.

Any artists out there? I know that JLNobody enjoyed hand painted gravure.

Here is a birthday gal that is an artist.

Chuck Willis

You sent me searching, Texas.


Harold "Chuck" Willis (January 31, 1928 – April 10, 1958 was an American blues, rhythm and blues and rock and roll singer and songwriter. His biggest hits, "C. C. Rider" (1957) and "What Am I Living For" (1958), both reached No.1 on the Billboard R&B chart. He was known as The King of the Stroll for his performance of the 1950s dance the Stroll. Good one by the guy.

How about a trip to Basin Street now.
