Hard To Get - Gisele MacKenzie

When they were hard to get
You wanted my kisses
When first we met
How you wanted my kisses
They were hard to get
Till I was sure your love was true
Then I gave you all my heart
And all my kisses to

I wish that I'd been smart
And never adored you
You broke my heart
Easy kisses just bored you
But the day will come
When you will find to your regret
A love as true as mine
Is hard to get

I wish that I'd been smart
And never adored you
You broke my heart
Easy kisses just bored you
But the day will come
When you will find to your regret
A love as true as mine
Is hard to get

Just like his better half...

Ah, cher Francis, you've had another picture taken!

It is a very good likeness.

McT

Yes, my friend McT, this is a sunny one.

Good morning, WA2K Elvis Costello lovers, listeners, and fans.<smile>

Brrrrrrr. We actually have a light coating of frost in my little corner of the universe. It's rather nice for a change.

Thanks, edgar, for that G.M. song, and it's always good to see dj back with us.

Good afternoon, Francis and McTag. Always good to see our European friends here, but we do miss Walter. Hope he is well.

Well, I see the Steelers won their fifth consecutive Super Bowl. Guess Raggedy and Osso are celebrating.

Back later, folks, with a bit of news and music from Florida.

Not hardly consecutive, letty. But, the Steelers is my boys. I been waiting a long time since their last win.

Mule train, yeah, yeah.
Mule train: clippetty-clopping over hill and plain.
Seems as how they'll never stop.
Clippetty-clop, clippetty-clop, clippetty, clippetty,
clippetty, clippetty, clippetty-clopping along.

There's a plug of chaw tobaccy for a rancher in Corolla;
A guitar for a cowboy way out in Arizona;
A dress of callico for a pretty Navajo.
Get along mule, get along.

Mule train, yeah, yeah.
Mule train: clippetty-clopping along the mountain chain.
Seems as though they're gonna recah the top.
Clippetty-clop, clippetty-clop, clippetty, clippetty, c
lippetty, clippetty, clippetty-clopping along.

There's some cotton thread and needle for the folks away out yonder.
A shovel for a miner who left his home to wander.
Some rheumatism pills for the settlers in the hills.
Get along mule, get along.

Mule train, yeah, yeah.
Mule train: clippetty-clopping through the wind and rain.
They'll keep going till they drop.
Clippetty-clop, clippetty-clop, clippetty, clippetty,
clippetty, clippetty, clippetty-clopping along.

There's a letter full of sadness and it's black around the border.
A pair of boots for someone who had them made to order.
A Bible in the pack for the Reverend Mr Black.
Get along mule, get along.

Get along mule, get along. (Mule train.)
Get along, get along.

Oops, edgar. I guess I read it wrong which is understandable for a woman who hadn't had her coffee yet. Thanks for the edit, Texas.

Good morning, dys. Nice to see you up and at 'em, Captain.

My goodness, listeners. There's our Latin lover back with a train by Laine. Thanks, George. I guess it's mule day on WA2K.

Ah, the skies are clear and the sun is here. <big smile>

Well, here's my song for the day:

Artist: Jennifer Lopez Lyrics
Song: Lets Get Loud Lyrics


Chorus
Lets get loud, lets get loud
Turn the music up, lets do it
Come on, people
Lets get loud, lets get loud
Turn the music up to hear that sound
Lets get loud, lets get loud
Aint nobody got to tell you what you got to do

If you want to live your life
Live it all the way and dont you waste it
Every feeling, every beat can be so very sweet
You got to taste it, you got to do it
You got to do it your way
You got to prove it
You got to mean what you say
Lifes a party, make it hot
Dance dont ever stop, whatever rhythm
Every minute, every day
Take them all the way you got to live them

Bridge
You got to do it, you got to do it your way
You got to prove it
You got to mean what you say
You got to do it, you got to do it your way
You got to prove it
You got to mean what you say

Chorus

Life is meant to be big fun
Youre not hurting anyone, nobody loses
You got to do it, you got to do it your way
To got to prove it
You got to mean what you say
You got to do it, you got to do it your way
You got to prove it
You got to mean what you say.

Question of the day:

What does a woman's shoe have to do with mules?

(the guys won't know the answer)

[Words and Music by J P Richardson (The Big Bopper)]


On the bank of the river
Stood Running Bear
Young Indian brave
On the other side of the river
Stood his lovely Indian maid
Little White Dove was her name
Such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each other
So their love could never be

Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die

He couldn't swim the raging river
'Cause the river was too wide
He couldn't reach the Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight he could see her
Throwing kisses 'cross the waves
Her little heart was beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave

Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die

Running Bear dove in the water
Little White Dove did the same
And they swam out to each other
Through the swirling stream they came
As their hands touched and their lips met
The raging river pulled them down
Now they'll always be together
In their happy hunting ground

Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die

"Don't Quit While You're Ahead" (Rupert Holmes)

In life you start the same as when you're done
If you lose you're just where you've begun
If you win don't quit while you're ahead
Just press your blessed luck instead

Don't try to think what move might be the best
Use the heart that beats within your chest
Never rest - don't quit while you're ahead
Sing out: there's more in store for me

While our dys plays the tom tom, here's a news update:


AMIENS, France - The Frenchwoman who received the world's first partial face transplant showed off her new features to the public Monday, saying in a heavily slurred voice that she now looks "like everyone else" and hopes to resume a normal life.



Isabelle Dinoire's speech was difficult to understand, but she explained how she was disfigured by a dog bite last year, and she thanked the family of the donor who gave her new lips, a chin and nose.

A circular scar was still visible where the face tissue was attached in the 15-hour operation in Amiens on Nov. 27.

"I have a face like everyone else," Dinoire said at her first news conference since the groundbreaking surgery in November. "A door to the future is opening."

Amazing, listeners, right?

And, incidentally, we all like Francis' transplant.

Spacesuit radio 'alive' in orbit but where is the body that goes with it ????????????????


http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4685054.stm

Old clothes were packed into the suit to hold the electronics in place
An old spacesuit stuffed with a radio transmitter and old clothes is still emitting a weak signal as it orbits the globe, amateur radio enthusiasts say.
Nasa had reported that the "SuitSat" device had ceased working within hours of its release from the International Space Station (ISS) on Friday.

But a US amateur radio spokesman said weak signals had been picked up. "Death reports were premature," he said.

The suit is meant to transmit messages in six languages to amateur radio fans.

The makeshift satellite was tossed from the ISS by crew members Bill McArthur and Valery Tokarev as they began a six-hour spacewalk.

Made from a decommissioned Russian spacesuit, the SuitSat contains a radio, transmitter and sensors to monitor temperature and battery power, with old clothes packed in to hold the equipment in place.

'Cold but alive'

The idea was for radio operators to be able to pick up recorded messages for several days before the device re-entered the atmosphere and burned up. Images and lessons were also to be sent for schoolchildren.

Reports from Nasa on Friday suggested the device had stopped working before the ISS crew had even completed their spacewalk.


The suit looked like a lost cosmonaut as it tumbled into space
However, members of the Connecticut-based American Radio Relay League (ARRL) report picking up a feeble signal on the 145.99MHz frequency in the days since.

Spokesman Allen Pitts said the signals were "weak, cold and really hard to copy, but alive".

The group says the evidence points to a problem with the antenna fixed to the spacesuit's helmet or the wires linking the electronics.

ARRL has appealed to amateur radio operators around the world to gather extra information by listening out for the signal and passing on their results.

The spacesuit was nicknamed "Ivan Ivanovich", after a lifelike Russian mannequin sent on a test flight shortly before Yuri Gagarin's groundbreaking mission in 1961.

Good afternoon, London. Thanks for the space up date. I had no idea about that bodiless suit, but then I haven't had a date with the cape in a while. <smile>

Back later, listeners. It's Monday and I have to get stuff in the mail.

This is cyber space, WA2K radio.

Thank you, he says in a heavily slurred voice coming from his spacesuit...

Had to reappear to laugh out loud at that clever quip by Paris. Thanks Francis. Perhaps doing my income tax today will be a bit easier now.

Good morning. There was a hot time in the old town last night. Amazingly, only six arrests (minor incidents) after the Steeler victory. My neighborhood quieted down at 1AM so I slept a bit later than usual. The schools had a two hour delay. Not so, for my working daughter. Oh well, it's good to see a happy city.


Shall we wish a Happy 89th birthday to:



Why not?
