WA2K Radio is now on the air

spidergal, that is a truly beautiful love song. Thank you, dear. I read the lyrics several times and it recalled better days.

Incidentally, Miss India, Raggedy and I have been searching for the lyrics to A Song of India, with no success. It was for our Gautam (Prince). Would you happen to know them?

Now no universal radio would be complete without a Brit and a Frenchman or Frenchwoman. YooHoo. Come in all of you Europeans and be bean counted.

Never heard of that. Perhaps, vinsan would know. I'll find out.

aha! I see you found me, gal. Actually, the song was originally composed as a classic, listeners. Can you guess the composer?

My sister sent me parts of the song, but although she has total recall when it comes to music, the lyrics were incomplete.

Still keeping a lookout for that movie with Song of India in it, Letty.

Let's wish a Happy Birthday to:

Plot Summary for
Song of Scheherazade (1947)
In 1865, the cadets of a Russian Naval Academy ship have shore leave in Morocco; among them is (fictionalized) future composer 'Nicky' Rimsky-Korsakov. In search of a piano, Nicky and singing ship's doctor Klin meet a family of once-wealthy Spanish colonists...and their daughter Cara who secretly dances in a cabaret. Romantic complications ensue, but Nicky seems less interested in Cara's favors than in inspirations for his future masterpieces.

Do you mean "Song of India" lyrics with the music from Rimsky-Korsakov?

Could this be the lyrics you are looking for, Miss Letty?

Do not count the diamonds in caves of stone
Do not count the pearls in the southern sea
Of distant India so full of wonders.

There is a wondrous stone, a ruby set in the warm sea;
And on that stone there is a Phoenix, a bird with the face of a maiden
Who keeps singly songs of paradise so sweetly
Scattering her feathers and covering the sea.
Whoever hears this bird will forget everything.

Do not count the diamonds in caves of stone
Do not count the pearls in the southern sea
Of distant India so full of wonders"...

Frances: That's not the song that I'm trying to remember from the movie I mentioned above. Wish you could hum the one you posted for us. Your lyrics don't go with the melody I remember:D

Sorry. Make that FrancIs.

ah, listeners, there's our Raggedy. Thanks, gal, for the pictures and the plot from that movie.

and there is our Francis. No, honey, the lyrics go something like:

My heart lies back beside the water of India,
It keeps on telling me that I should go,
Back to my home in far off India.

Bridge:
Ah, a pair of eyes are waiting there,

And that's as much as I can remember.

Francis, do you know the music to it? I mean the original classical piece.

Yes, Miss Letty, I've some CD's from Rimsky-Korsakov somewhere...

I know exactly how it goes, Francis. I'm singing it right here in the studio. I can also fumble through it on piano. Damn, it's frustrating, folks.

You are so good at locating obscure lyrics, Paris. Perhaps by listening to your CD's, you can fit those few words to the classical version, and find out the adapted verses.

I'm gonna try that, Miss Letty.

In Elvis' words. Thank you very much, Francis. Believe it or not, folks, I do know how to say that in French.

Okay, folks. Here's a song for the searchers:

- Marc Almond Lyrics(altered) - Looking For stuff (In All The Wrong Places) Lyrics

Keep on looking now
You gotta keep on looking now
Keep on looking now

You're looking for stuff
In all the wrong places


You're looking for stuff
In all the wrong places

When you're looking for reaction
When you're searching for direction
When you're scared of rejection
Or attack
You need the warmth of discovery
When you're growing tired of seeing
A colourless reflection
Looking back

You're looking for stuff
In all the wrong places

Something real to fill those little empty spaces
So you're looking for stuff in all the wrong places


You better keep on looking now!



So you're looking for stuff in all the wrong places. big smile.

Elvis has left the graveyard. Now then, on a serious note ----------
I was watching a movie last night, "Night on Earth" in which Winona Ryder played the part of a cab driver who was a heavy smoker. To help her habit along she had a real flamethrower of a Zippo. I've noticed over the years that people in movies who use a Zippo never run out of fuel. The thing lights first time from the front titles right thru to the end credits. It doesn't matter where they are, in the desert, in a submarine, some death infested steaming jungle or outer space. In reality as cool as a Zippo might be they soon run out of fuel, the wick burns down to zero or the flint packs it in.
Why don't any of my 3 Zippos keep going ad infinitum.
I can remember seeing John Wayne in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, shuffling a pack of Camel and getting a perfect score of 1st time every time with his Zippo. Why ?????? It's Hollywood pal, not the back of beyond.

Hey, oakman. Welcome back. I used to think the classiest thing in the world was a cigarette case with lighter attached.

On the home front, folks, a note of surprise.

One of my favorite upscale restaurants has been converted to a strip joint. People are carrying picket signs everywhere. I think the "no smoking" laws have done in a lot of places, listeners, but I won't get on that soap box again.

Speaking of movies, listeners, I watched a great one on TCM last evening. It was called Murder by Death and was fantastic as a spoof on all the great detectives in book form. Loved it! I need to find the cast of characters, because they were ALL characters.

Incidentally, Walter and I sang you the same song. I for your goodnight.

Walter for you in the morning light. <smile>

Well, my goodness. John smoked a cigarette; put it out on the floor, then left.

Also left his zippo



No problem, London. It will be here upon your return.

Oh, my God, Tico, that's it! Thank you, Kansas.

Will you look at the play on those character names, folks? I am trying to transpose them.

Can anyone finish the rest? Funny.
