WA2K Radio is now on the air

Down in the valley, the valley so low
Hang your head over, hear the wind blow
Hear the wind blow, dear, hear the wind blow
Hang your head over, hear the wind blow

same as above on county ranch road 04.9

same as above, Dys not sharing coffee with Sally

Lady Diane and Sally emergine from behind large shrub.

I was talking about a line in the lyrics to Blood Sweat & Tears song, "You've Made Me So Very Happy."

Well, Tico. We all get a little sidetracked looking at those beautiful photos of dys.

Love the ones with Diane and dys.

and to finish the hawk man's song as we watch:

Write me a letter,
Send it by mail.
Send it in care of,
The Birmingham jail.

Perfect voice over for Dys' tour.<smile>

Song for Dys and Diane

Bing Crosby

Give me land, lots of land, and the sunny sky above
Don't fence me in...."

My cousin thought the line in the Beach Boys' song

"Went to a dance, lookin' for romance"

actually was

"Went to a dance, lookin' for a man"

which puzzled him for a long time.

Ah, the misheard lyrics, folks. Sometimes they are funny and sometimes they are funny.

Here's an interesting news item:

W.Va. wants to name a road for Hank Williams Mon Sep 12,11:20 AM ET



CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Call it a return to the "Lost Highway." The state Senate on Sunday resurrected an effort to rename a stretch of Route 16 in Fayette County the " Hank Williams Sr. Memorial Road."


Williams, an Alabama native revered as the "godfather of country music," is believed to have died in his sleep on that road on New Years Day 1953 while being driven to an appearance. Some local residents have proposed building a museum in the area.

But House leaders are throwing up the same roadblock that derailed the same resolution during their regular session earlier this year. The House's refusal to consider that measure prompted senators to retaliate by killing a number of House-passed naming resolutions.

Delegate John Pino, D-Fayette and the speaker pro tempore, has been the measure's chief critic. He argues that naming resolutions should honor state residents and recognize them for significant acts.

The Williams resolution has arisen in the special legislative session begun by Gov. Joe Manchin last week. The agenda set by Manchin allows lawmakers to propose ceremonial resolutions.

House leaders have said that they will consider any Senate naming resolution that failed to pass during the regular session ?- except the Williams measure.

Williams' hit songs included, "Your Cheatin' Heart" and "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry."

Hey, listeners. Dys and Diane's venture could be compared to Denver's "Almost Heaven", right?

speaking of re-naming highways, Highway 666 through new mexico, colorado and Utah has been oficially renamed 161 or something like that because of the relgious conotations of "the devils highway"

Oh, my word, dys. Well, better to be safe than sorry?

Guess Route 66 was safe for a while.

Here's a dedication song for C.I.'s adventure:



As recorded by Manhattan Transfer


On a little street in Singapore
With me - beside a lotus covered door
A veil of moonlight on her lovely face
How pale the hands that held me in embrace
My sails tonight are filled with perfume of Shalimar
With temple bells that guide me to her shore
And then I hold you in my arms
And love the way I loved before
On a little street in Singapore
On a little street in Singapore
With me - beside a lotus covered door
A veil of moonlight on her lovely face
How pale the hands that held me in embrace

Here's a song I like a lot
Play it cool, play it hot
It may be one you've heard before
Wouldn't hurt to hear some more

Ian Dury and the Blockheads

In the deserts of Sudan
And the gardens of Japan
From Milan to Yucatan
Every woman, every man

Hit me with your rhythm stick
Hit me, hit me
Je t'adore, ich leibe dich
Hit me, hit me, hit me
Hit me with your rhythm stick
Hit me slowly, hit me quick
Hit me, hit me, hit me

In the wilds of Borneo
And the vineyards of Bordeaux
Eskimo, Arapaho
Move their body to and fro

Hit me with your rhythm stick
Hit me, hit me
Das ist gut, c' est fantastique
Hit me, hit me, hit me
Hit me with your rhythm stick
It's nice to be a lunatic
Hit me, hit me, hit me

Hit me, hit me, hit

In the dock of Tiger Bay
On the road to Mandalay
From Bombay to Santa Fe
Over hills and far away

Hit me with your rhythm stick
Hit me, hit me
c'est si bon, mm? Ist es nicht
Hit me, hit me, hit me
Hit me with your rhythm stick
Two fat persons, click click click
Hit me, hit me, hit me

Hit me, hit me, hit me
Hit me, hit me, hit me
Hit me, hit me
Hit me, hit me, hit me
Hit me, hit me, hit me
Hit me, hit me
Hit me, hit me, hit me

McTag, That is good; that is fantastic. Hey, Brit, it was because I knew that one line. Actually I like rhythm sticks

Well, listeners. We love the tours; toujour l'amour.

How funny! I can't believe they ever named it "666" to begin with! People are so superstitious. Reminds me of the lack of "13th" floors in hotels. I wonder if there were any hotels along Hwy. 666 with a 13th floor. I would stay there, just so I could brag about it later.

They renamed Highway 249 here every time they needed funds to make improvements. Something about not giving money to the same highway too many times.

Dys
Dys, the photos are beautiful.

I was so disappointed when I was driving from California to New Mexico that I didn't have time to stop and gawk at the Grand Canyon. Had to keep moving to get to Albuquerque before the moving van arrived.

THE MERRY-GO-ROUND BROKE DOWN
Shep Fields and Russ Morgan

Oh! The merry-go-round broke down
As we went 'round and 'round,
Each time 'twould miss we'd steal a kiss
While the merry-go-round went
Um-pah-pah, um-pah-pah,
Um-pah-pah, um-pah-pah,

The merry-go-round broke down
And made the darndest sound
The lights went low, we both said, "Oh"
And the merry-go-round went
Um-pah-pah, um-pah-pah,
Um-pah-pah, um-pah-pah,

Oh! What fun, a wonderful time
Finding love for only a dime

The merry-go-round broke down
But you don't see me frown
Things turned out fine and now she's mine
Cause the merry-go-round went
Um-pah-pah, um-pah-pah,
Um-pah-pah, um-pah-pah,
The merry-go-round broke down

life's lessons

A woman decides to have a facelift for her birthday. She spends
$15,000.00 and feels pretty good about the results. On her way home
she stops at a newsstand to buy a paper. Before leaving, she asks the
sales clerk, "I hope you don't mind my asking, but how old do you
think I am?"

"About 32", the clerk replies.

"I'm actually 47", the woman says happily.

A little while later she goes into McDonald's and upon getting her
order, asks the counter guy the same question. He replies, "I'd
guess about 29".

The woman replies, "Nope, I am 47." Now she is feeling really good
about herself.

While waiting for the bus home, she asks an old man the same
question. He replies, "I'm 78 and my eyesight is starting to go.
Although, when I was young, there was a sure way to tell how old a
woman was, but it requires you to let me put my hands up your shirt
and feel your boobs. Then I can tell exactly how old you are."

They waited in silence on the empty street until curiosity got the
best of the woman and she finally says, "What the hell, go ahead."

The old man slips both hands up her shirt under her bra, and begins
to feel around.

After a couple of minutes she says, "Okay, okay, how old am I?"

He removes his hands and says, "You are 47."

Stunned the woman says, "That is amazing. How did you know?"

The old man replies, "I was behind you in line at McDonald's."
