WA2K Radio is now on the air

Ah, There's our Raggedy. Thanks for the picture of Kim, and as for "Have I stayed away too Long", song. <smile> I think it's older than that, PA. I'll have to check it out with my sister, but I believe that is an old mountain tune.

Do you know the last movie that she starred in, Raggedy?

Hint: the actor that I love played the lead.

Omigosh!. Liebestraum with Kevin Anderson. You'll have to see "Sleeping With the Enemy". Julia Roberts is mistreated by her husband in that one, but Kevin is the good guy.


Letty, you thanked me, but my pictures didn't take. I can't see them on my screen.

Well, I saw Kim, Raggedy, in a sweater and looking quite young.

I tried finding the pop lyrics to Liebestraum (Dream of Love) and I have never seen such a mess. Frankly, I blame it on the night. <smile>

Oh, yes. I saw Sleeping With the Enemy. I try and watch everything with that cute Kevin. Actually, he is an excellent actor, folks, whatever he looks like.

Hi, Letty and listeners. I got a great one for you.


Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let's do some living after we die

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day

ah, listeners. There's our sweet shari and her wonderful team of wild horses.Thanks for the song, gal.

And if we want to do the wild horses, why not this one:

Artist: Michael Martin Murphey Lyrics
Song: Wildfire Lyrics

She comes down from Yellow Mountain
On a dark, flat land she rides
On a pony she named Wildfire
With a whirlwind by her side
On a cold Nebraska night

Oh, they say she died one winter
When there came a killing frost
And the pony she named Wildfire
Busted down its stall
In a blizzard he was lost

She ran calling Wildfire [x3]
By the dark of the moon I planted
But there came an early snow
There's been a hoot-owl howling by my window now
For six nights in a row
She's coming for me, I know
And on Wildfire we're both gonna go

We'll be riding Wildfire [x3]

On Wildfire we're gonna ride
Gonna leave sodbustin' behind
Get these hard times right on out of our minds
Riding Wildfire

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
there was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

Horse with no name. Great, Texas. I know that one as well.

Ah, folks, as much as I hate to do so, Letty must think of leaving for the evening.

There is a beautiful full moon hanging over my ocean, so I am inspired to do a song based on Rachmaninoff



Full moon and empty arms
The moon is there for us to share
But where are you?
A night like this could weave a memory
And every kiss could start a dream for two
Full moon and empty arms
Tonight I'll use the magic moon to wish upon
And next full moon if my one wish comes true
My empty arms will be filled with you.

From Letty and the moon with love.

Just Walking In The Rain - Johnnie Ray

Just walking in the rain
Getting soaking wet
Torturing my heart
By trying to forget

Just walking in the rain
So alone and blue
All because my heart
Still remembers you

People come to windows
They always stare at me
Shaking their heads in sorrow
Saying, who can that fool be

Just walking in the rain
Thinking how we met
Knowing things could change
Somehow I can't forget

(Just walking in the rain)
(Walking in the rain)
(Walking in the rain)
(Just walking in the rain)
(All day I)

People come to their windows
They always stare at me
Their shaking their heads in sorrow
Saying, who can that fool be
(Now who can he be)

Just walking in the rain
(Walking in the rain)
Thinking how we met
(Walking in the rain)
Knowing things could change
(Walking in the rain)
Somehow I can't forget
(Walking in the rain)

I was in another thread when I thought of this song and now its buggin me so here you go.....



There was a time some time ago
When every sunrise meant a sunny day, oh a sunny day
But now when the morning light shines in
It only disturbs the dreamland where I lay, oh where I lay
I used to thank the lord when I'd wake
For life and love and the golden sky above me
But now I pray the stars will go on shinin', you see in my dreams you love me

Daybreak is a joyful time
Just listen to the songbird harmonies, oh the harmonies
But I wish the dawn would never come
I wish there was silence in the trees, oh the trees
If only I could stay asleep, at least I could pretend you're thinkin' of me
'cause nighttime is the one time I am happy, you see in my dreams

Chorus:
We climb and climb and at the top we fly
Let the world go on below us, we are lost in time
And I don't know really what it means
All I know is that you love me, in my dreams

(solo)

I keep hopin' one day I'll awaken, and somehow she'll be lying by my side
And as I wonder if the dawn is really breakin'
She touches me and suddenly I'm alive

Chorus repeats 2x

Oho, in my dreams

Morning, everyone!

I awoke late this morning.

I had cereal for breakfast, and an apple.

With a hoot and a holler, and a dime and a dollar
I'm a lucky son of a gun...

Good morning WA2K listeners and contributors. I awoke early this morning and had coffee. <smile>

Thanks to edgar and shari for the nocturnal music, and to hamburger for the obit on the most resistant of all bugs. Soooo, why not a song to this enduring species:

LA CUCARACHA

Cuando uno quiere a una
Y esta una no lo quiere,
Es lo mismo que si un calvo
En la calle encuentr' un peine.

Chorus:
La cucaracha, la cucaracha,
Ya no quieres caminar,
Porque no tienes,
Porque le falta,
Marihuana que fumar.
Las muchachas son de oro;
Las casadas son de plata;
Las viudas son de cobre,
Y las viejas oja de lata.

Mi vecina de enfrente
Se llamaba Doña Clara,
Y si no había muerto
Es probable se llamara.

Las muchachas de Las Vegas
Son muy altas y delgaditas,
Pero son mas pedigueñas
Que las animas benditas.

Las muchachas de la villa
No saben ni dar un beso,
Cuando las de Albuquerque
Hasta estiran el pescuezo.

Las muchachas Mexicanas
Son lindas como una flor,
Y hablan tan dulcemente
Que encantan de amor.
Una cosa me da risa --
Pancho Villa sin camisa.
Ya se van los Carranzistas
Porque vienen los Villistas.

8 Necesita automóvil
Par' hacer la caminata
Al lugar a donde mandó
La convención Zapata

Happy Valentine's Day everybody.

And a Happy 47th Birthday to Renee Fleming:



And remembering:

Jack Benny (Feb. 14, 1894-1974) and Gregory Hines (1946-2003) Thelma Ritter (1905-1969)

I have to ask Dys if he knows about this...

Well, there's our Francis. Welcome back, Paris. I suspect that dys knows all about that "roach"<smile> as does Kafka. Never quite understood that book except, perhaps, the metamorphosis.

Incidentally, folks, in Florida, the equivalence to a cockroach is the palmetto bug.

Artist: Martina McBride Lyrics
Song: Valentine (Martina Mcbride) Lyrics


If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you

And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine

All of my life
I have been waiting for
All you give to me
You've opened my eyes
And showed me how to love unselfishly

I've dreamed of this a thousand times before
But in my dreams I couldn't love you more
I will give you my heart
Until the end of time...
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine

And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
'Cause all I need is you, my Valentine
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine
