WA2K Radio is now on the air

Talk about serendipity. I just finished watching The Searchers, John Ford's wonderful western. Wouldn't you know near the end they played The Yellow Rose of Texas which I posted earlier today. Do you think they did that just for me? Why sure they did!

But of course they did, Bob. You are a very special hawk.<smile>

Now here is one for you, Boston:


Artist: Grass Roots Lyrics
Song: Midnight Confessions Lyrics

The sound of your footsteps
Telling me that you're near
Your soft gentle motion, baby
Brings out the need in me that no-one can hear, except

In my midnight confessions
When I tell all the world that I love you
In my midnight confessions
When I say all the things that I want to
I love you

But a little gold ring you wear on your hand makes me understand
There's another before me, you'll never be mine
I'm wasting my time

Staggering through the daytime
Your image on my mind
Passing so close beside you baby
Sometimes the feelings are so hard to hide, except

In my midnight confessions
When I tell all the world that I love you
In my midnight confessions
When I say all the things that I want to
I love you

But a little gold ring you wear on your hand makes me understand
There's another before me, you'll never be mine
I'm wasting my time

In my midnight confessions
When I tell all the world that I love you
Na na-nana na na na-na
Na na-nana na na na-na

Speaking of Midnight confession, listeners. I just found a very funny site which I shall play later.

Don't it Make My Brown Eyes Blue - Crystal Gayle

Don't know when I've been so blue
Don't know what's come over you
You've found someone new
And don't it make my brown eyes blue

I'll be fine when you're gone
I'll just cry all night long
Say it isn't true
And don't it make my brown eyes blue

Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies
Give me no reasons, give me alibis
Tell me you love me and don't make me cry
Say anything but don't say goodbye

I didn't mean to treat you bad
Didn't know just what I had
But, honey, now I do
And don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes blue

Don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes blue

Don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes blue


...I love the piano accompaniment...

Well, there's our furry friend back again. I was just thinking of you, George. <smile> Yes, that is a nice song, dear, and I vaguely remember the piano man.

Well, listeners, here's that funny site I was telling you about:

Artist: Village People Lyrics
Song: Y.M.C.A. Lyrics

.
Young man, there's no need to feel down.
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy.

Young man, there's a place you can go.
I said, young man, when you're short on your dough.
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.

It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.

They have everything for you men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys ...

It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.

You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal,
You can do what about you feel ...

Young man, are you listening to me?
I said, young man, what do you want to be?
I said, young man, you can make real your dreams.
But you got to know this one thing!

No man does it all by himself.
I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf,
And just go there, to the y.m.c.a.
I'm sure they can help you today.

It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.

They have everything for you men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys ...

It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.

You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal,
You can do what about you feel ...

Young man, I was once in your shoes.
I said, I was down and out with the blues.
I felt no man cared if I were alive.
I felt the whole world was so tight ...

That's when someone came up to me,
And said, young man, take a walk up the street.
There's a place there called the y.m.c.a.
They can start you back on your way.

It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.

They have everything for you men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys ...

Y-m-c-a ... you'll find it at the y-m-c-a.

Young man, young man, there's no need to feel down.
Young man, young man, get yourself off the ground.

Y-m-c-a ... you'll find it at the y-m-c-a.

Young man, young man, there's no need to feel down.
Young man, young man, get yourself off the ground.

Y-m-c-a ... just go to the y-m-c-a.

Young man, young man, are you listening to me?
Young man, young man, what do you wanna be?

Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazelwood's, "Summer Wine"

Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things

(LEE):
I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
A song that I had only sang to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said lets pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine

(NANCY):
Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohhh-oh summer wine

My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak
I tried to get up but I couldn't find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me more summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine

When I woke up the sun was shining in my eyes
My silver spurs were gone my head felt twice its size
She took my silver spurs a dollar and a dime
And left me cravin' for more summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine

I remember, edgar, that we discussed Lee and Nancy before. What was that song about Phaedra. Haunting, it was.

And here it is, listeners:

Artist: Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra Lyrics
Song: Some Velvet Morning Lyrics

Some velvet mornin' when I'm straight
I'm gonna open up your gate
And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra
And how she gave me life
And how she made it end
Some velvet mornin' when I'm straight


Flowers growing on a hill, dragonflies and daffodils
Learn from us very much, look at us but do not touch
Phaedra is my name


Some velvet mornin' when I'm straight
I'm gonna open up your gate
And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra
And how she gave me life
And how she made it end
Some velvet mornin' when I'm straight


Flowers are the things we know, secrets are the things we grow
Learn from us very much, look at us but do not touch
Phaedra is my name

Some velvet mornin' when I'm straight
Flowers growing on a hill
I'm gonna open up your gate
dragonflies and daffodils
And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra
Learn from us very much
And how she gave me life
look at us but do not touch
FADE
And how she made it end

And here is for our Tryagain who I hope will continue to visit our studio and listen:

Hush now don't you cry
There will be a better day
I promise you
We can work it out
But only if you let me know
What's on your mind

Baby, you thought it was forever
Through any kind of weather

But some day you will find what you're searching for

Try again
Never stop believing
Try again
Don't give up on your love
Stumble and fall
Is the heart of it all
When you fall down (down)
Just try again

Smile now, let it go
Hey, you will never be alone
I promise you
If you can't fight the feeling (Oh yeah)
Surrender in your heart

Remember love will set you free

Baby, you thought it was forever
You would always be together
But someday you will find what you're searching for

Try again
Never stop believing
Try again
Don't give up on your love
Stumble and fall
Is the heart of it all
When you fall down (down)
Just try again

Baby, when a heart is crying
Its sometimes feels like dying
The tear drops fall like rain

Baby, you thought it was forever
You would always be together
But someday you will find what you're searching for

Try again (ooh yeah)
Never stop believing (oh no)
Try again
Don't give up on your love
([Mark:] Dont' give up on your love baby)

Try again
just try again)
Never stop believing
Try again
Don't give up on your love

Stumble and fall
Is the heart of it all

When you fall down
Just try again

Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining

All right, hamburger. I know that one, buddy. Grass roots and blue grass:



Maple on the Hill

In a quiet country village stood a maple on the hill
Where I sat with my Geneva long ago
As the stars were shining brightly we could hear the whippoorwill
As we sat beneath the maple on the hill

We would sing love song together while the birds had gone to rest
We would listen to the murmur o'er the hill
Will you love me little darling as you did as you did those starry nights
As we sat beneath the maple on the hill

Don't forget me, little darling when they lay me down to die
Just one little wish, darling that I pray
As you linger there in sadness thinking, darlig, of the past
Lay your teardrops kiss the floweres on my grave

I will soon be with the angels on that bright and peaceful shore
Even now I hear them coming o'er the hill
Soon goodbye my little darling, it is time for us to part
I must leave you and that maple on the hill

My word, listeners, them blue grassers could get mournful.

Bill Monroe



I went downtown thought I had a dime
Got home this morning didn't have a dime
Lordy Lordy Lordy got the dog house blues
No use talkin' I got the dog house blues.

Come home this morning about half past eight
She said honey you're out too late
Lordy Lordy Lordy got the dog house blues
No use talkin' I got the dog house blues.

I went in the house to start the fire
She kicked me out in the middle of the night
Lordy Lordy Lordy got the dog house blues
No use talkin' I got the dog house blues.

I fell in the yard mad as I can be
Said to my dog make room for me
Lordy Lordy Lordy got the dog house blues
No use talkin' I got the dog house blues.

edgar, I love it when we vary our programming. Thanks, Texas.

Well, the time has come for Letty to say goodnight. Someone do a quiet moon dance for me. <smile>

From Letty with much love.

Lost Property
The Divine Comedy

Postcards and letters
T-shirts and sweaters
Passports and Parkas
Mobiles and chargers
Two tennis rackets
Blue Rizla packets
A new sheep-skin jacket
I lost it all

All through my life there have been
Many rare and precious things
I have tried to call mine
But I just cannot seem
To keep hold of anything
For more than a short time
Possessions of a sentimental kind
They were mine, now they're not

Gym-kits and trainers
Asthma inhalers
Silk-cuts and Bennies
Ten-packs and twenties
C-class narcotics
Antibiotics
The holes in my pockets
I lost it all

All that I'd like is to know
Just where do those lost things go?
When they slip from my hands
Then one night in a dream
I passed through a sheepskin screen
To a green, pleasant land
I found them all piled up into the sky
And I cried tears of joy

Mary Tyler Moore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.


Mary Tyler Moore (born on December 29, 1936) is an American actress and comedian, perhaps best known for The Mary Tyler Moore Show, in which she starred as Mary Richards, a 30ish single woman who worked as a news producer at WJM-TV in Minneapolis.

The oldest of three siblings, Moore was born in Flatbush section of Brooklyn, New York to George Tyler Moore and Marjorie Hackett. She moved to California when she was eight years old. She attended Saint Rose of Lima Roman Catholic school in Brooklyn, and Notre Dame convent school in Hollywood. At the age of 17, she started off with a role as "Happy Hotpoint" on television commercials broadcast during Ozzie and Harriet. During these commercials she would dance around on the Hotpoint appliances (a General Electric subsidiary). After that, she appeared in several bit parts in movies and on TV shows including Bourbon Street Beat, 77 Sunset Strip, Steve Canyon, and Hawaiian Eye. She auditioned for the role of the older daugher of Danny Thomas for his long-running hit TV show, but was turned down. Much later, Thomas explained that "no daughter of mine could have that (little) nose."

In 1955 she married Dirk Meeker, whom she described as "the boy next door," and was pregnant with her only son Richie within six weeks. Meeker and Moore divorced in 1961, and Richie shot and killed himself in 1980. International headlines announced that Meeker killed himself when playing a game of Russian Roulette in front of two female friends. Authorities later ruled the episode an accident. Several years later, Moore's sister committed suicide. Her last remaining sibling died of cancer (Moore claimed that she had helped him end his life with an overdose of painkillers), and her mother, who suffered from alcoholism is also deceased, leaving only her father, George Moore, who lives in California.

Moore's first regular television role was on the show Richard Diamond, Private Detective; however, in that show, only her legs were ever shown. Her first important television role in which gained wide recognition was as Laura Petrie in The Dick Van Dyke Show. When she won an Emmy award for her portrayal of Laura, she said, through her tears, quite incorrectly, "I know this will never happen again!"

Moore married Grant Tinker in 1962, and in 1970 they formed the television production company MTM Enterprises, which created and produced the company's first television series, The Mary Tyler Moore Show. MTM Enterprises would later produce popular American sitcoms and drama television series such as Rhoda, The Bob Newhart Show, WKRP in Cincinnati, and Hill Street Blues. Moore and Tinker divorced in 1981, and she married Dr. Robert Levine in 1983.

Moore has admitted having a drinking problem from the time she starred in the Dick Van Dyke show until after marrying Levine. Her alcoholism peaked in the 1980s, and Moore eventually entered the Betty Ford Clinic for treatment in 1984. She has been sober since then. Her onetime co-star, Dick Van Dyke, also battled alcoholism for many years.

Since her debut in 1961's "X-15", Moore has starred in several films, including Ordinary People for which she received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. It was a role that completely shifted Moore out of the lovable characters she's often been associated with, bringing a cold steeliness to a mother who refuses to be there for her traumatized son. More recently she portrayed Sante Kimes in the made-for-TV movie Like Mother, Like Son: The Strange Story of Sante and Kenny Kimes (2001) and reunited with her Dick Van Dyke Show castmates for a reunion "episode."

In August 2005, it was announced that Moore would guest-star as a local newswoman on three episodes of the Fox sitcom That '70s Show. Moore's scenes will be shot on the same soundstage where The Mary Tyler Moore Show was filmed in the 1970s. The episodes will air in early 2006.

In addition to her acting work, Moore is the International Chairman of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International. In this role, she has used her fame to help raise funds and raise awareness of diabetes mellitus type 1, from which she suffers severely, almost losing her vision and at least one limb to the disease, but fortunately she was saved from blindness and amputation, with the help of her doctor husband who takes good care of her and helps her control her diabetes.

Moore is a vegetarian and has worked for animal rights for many years. On the subject of fur, she has said, "Behind every beautiful fur, there is a story. It is a bloody, barbaric story."

In early May 2001, Moore was present as cable TV network TV Land dedicated a statue in downtown Minneapolis to the television character she made famous on Mary Tyler Moore. The statue is in front of the Dayton's (now Marshall Field's) department store, near the corner of 7th Street and Nicollet Mall. It depicts the well-known moment in the show's opening credits where Mary joyfully throws her Tam o'shanter cap up in the air, in a freeze-frame at the end of the montage.

Fans have noted that the statue takes a couple of liberties with that opening scene, for both practical and artistic reasons. One is that where Mary actually tossed the cap was in the crosswalk in the middle of the street, clearly not the best location for a statue. The other is that the actual release point of the cap was around her waist, whereas the statue has her hand high overhead, barely touching the cap, as if she were catching it instead of tossing it.

She maintains an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. This is the now-famous building where the red-tailed hawk known as Pale Male built a nest, and where Moore had an altercation with co-resident Paula Zahn over Zahn's support for the destruction of the hawk's nest on the building.

Mary Tyler Moore is referenced in the hit song Buddy Holly by Weezer on their self-titled debut album. Her name pops up in the chorus in the lines, "I look just like Buddy Holly/And you're Mary Tyler Moore." Moore sent the members of Weezer personalized autographed photos in return.

Ted Danson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.


Ted Danson (born December 29, 1947) is an American actor, most notable for his television work.

He was born Edward Bridge Danson III in San Diego, California, the son of Jessica MacMaster and Edward B. Danson, an archaeologist. He was raised outside of Flagstaff, Arizona. In 1961 he was sent to Kent School where he was a basketball star. He became interested in drama while attending Stanford University. He transferred to the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now known as Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania), where he received his Bachelor's degree.

He is most famous for his role as bartender Sam Malone on the hit sitcom Cheers from 1982-1993. During this time he also made several movies, the most popular of which was Three Men and a Baby with Tom Selleck and Steve Guttenberg.

After Cheers, Danson starred in the sitcom Ink with his real-life wife Mary Steenburgen. In the same year, they starred as Lemuel Gulliver and his wife in an acclaimed television series of Gulliver's Travels. After Ink was cancelled, Danson starred in the CBS sitcom Becker. Danson also plays himself on Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Danson was married to Casey Coates from 1977 to 1993. He is currently married to actress Mary Steenburgen whom he wed on October 7, 1995. He is stepfather to her daughter and son.

Danson, while still married to his first wife, was involved with Whoopi Goldberg. Whoopi broke off the romance soon after he appeared at a Friar's Club roast in blackface and proposed to her. However, credible reports state that Whoopi acknowledges that she wrote some of Ted's blackface skit (see Essence Jan 1997), so this was most likely not the cause of their separation.

Before Danson was a famous actor, he was known to dabble in the monkeywrenching sport of billboard toppling with childhood friend Marc Gaede along the highway between Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon. [1]

Good morning, WA2K radio listeners and contributors. dj, that was a most unusual song, Canada. The lyrics made me think of "what has been lost can never be recaptured." Thank you, dear.

Bob, your information, as usual, is most revealing. Mary Tyler Moore had a rough life, and I am amazed that she has survived it.

Well, folks. I bet that our Bob will be doing karaoke on new year's eve and we are most anxious to hear of his experiences. <smile>

Since no one played a moon dance for Letty, I think I will play it for myself:

» Moondance

Well it's a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
You know the night's magic
Seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight
Seems to shine in your blush...
Can I just have one a' more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with a' you, my love?
Well I wanna make love to you tonight
I can't wait till the morning has come
And I know now the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you're never alone
There and then all my dreams will come true dear
There and then I will make you my own
And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know how much you want me that, you can't hide...
Can I just have one a' more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with a' you, my love?
Well it's a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance

And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
You know the night's magic
Seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight
Seems to shine in your blush...
One more moondance with you
In the moonlight
On a magic night
la, la, la, la, there's a moonlight
On a magic night
Can't I just have one more dance
With you my love?

News from the animal kingdom:


Rwanda honors mountain gorilla researcher Fossey Wed Dec 28, 9:25 AM ET



KIGALI (Reuters) - Rwandan officials commemorated the life and the 20th anniversary of the death of famed primate researcher Dian Fossey with dances and speeches in the rural highlands where she studied the mountain gorillas she loved.

Government officials and locals held traditional dances, gave speeches and laid wreaths at the site where Fossey, who was killed in mysterious circumstances in 1985, was buried.

Fossey's work inspired the 1988 Hollywood film Gorillas in the Mist, starring Sigourney Weaver and has provided Rwanda's economy with an enduring lure for tourist dollars.

Fossey was murdered in her cabin in the Volcanoes National Park on December 26, 1985 after nearly 18 years of living in the jungles with the primates.

Mountain gorillas have become a huge foreign revenue earner for impoverished Rwanda, attracting thousands of tourists to the tiny central African nation which is emerging from a 1994 genocide where an estimated 800,000 people were hacked to death.

Rugamba said 10,500 tourists, mainly from Europe and United States, visited the gorillas this year.

Fossey brought the plight of mountains gorillas to the attention of the world," Rosette Rugamba, the director general of Rwanda Parks and Tourism Board told Reuters.

"She was dedicated to the conservation of gorillas and their habitats in Rwanda and Africa at large through anti-poaching, regular monitoring, research and education."

There are only 700 mountain gorillas left in the world, and Rwanda is home to about one third of the total population.

Good morning WA2K

Dedicated to:

December 29, 1721 - Madame de Pompadour, mistress of King Louis XV of France (d. 1764)

(and a few others)

When Madam Pompadour was on a ballroom floor
Said all the gentlemen "Obviously,"
"The madam has the cutest personality"

And think of all the books about Du Barry's looks
What was it made her the toast of Paree?
She had a well-developed personality

(What did Romeo see in Juliet?)
(Or Figaro in Figarette?)
(Or Jupiter in Juno?)
You know!

And when Salome danced and had the boys entranced
No doubt it must have been easy to see
That she knew how to use her personality

(A girl can learn to spell and take dictation well)
(And never sit on the boss's left knee)
(Unless she's got a perfect personality)

(A girl can get somewhere in spite of stringy hair)
(Or even just a bit bowed at the knee)
(If she can show a faultless personality)

Why are certain girls offered certain things
Like sable coats and wedding rings?
By men who wear their spats right?
(That's right!)

(So don'tcha say "I'm smart and have the kindest heart"
(Or "what a wonderful sister I'd be")
Just tell me how you like my

Happy Birthday to:

The Talented Mr. Ripley (1972)

Oh, my Gawd, Raggedy. That one keeps coming back like a song, right? Thanks, PA, for the wonderful illustrated song. <smile> I do believe Johnny Mercer did that one.

Who is that talented hunk? He most certainly is not from believe it or not.<smile>

Here's an answer from Chuck Berry:



Chuck Berry - Ain't That Just Like A Woman Lyrics

There was Adam, happy as a man could be
Till Eve got him messin' with that old apple tree

Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

Lot took his wife down to the corner for a malted
She wouldn't mind her business, boy, did she get salted

Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time
Samson thought Delilah was on the square
Till one night she clipped him all his hair

Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

From our history books we all learned
Nero fiddled while Rome was burned

Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

Marie Antoinette met some hungry cats at the gate
They was crying for bread, she said, "Let them eat cake"

Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

You can buy a woman clothes
And give her money on the side
No matter what you do
She ain't never satisfied
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

My word, listeners. That picture was of Matt Damon. He goes up on our bullentin board right under Chuck Berry.

And the answer to the question that I asked earlier was St. Elsewhere.

Speaking, of which. Everyone has gone elsewhere. So I guess I must.

Back later, folks.

You're correct Letty, Matt Damon did play Ripley. My mistake.
The picture is of Jude Law who played Dickie Greenleaf, the fellow Matt Damon impersonated in the movie. I was going to google to be sure I got the character's name right, but got interrupted. Never fails -- when I don't google, I get it wrong.
