I can hear you, shari. <smile> and the word imagination caught my ear.

As you know, listeners, that is the only powerful thing that has never been explained by the rats in a maze. Ain't it wonderful?

Please change "know" to "no".

My goodnight song to all of you:


DIANA KRALL Song Lyrics

The Night We Called It a Day
(From the album "THE LOOK OF LOVE")

There was a moon out in space
But a cloud drifted over its face
You kissed me and went on your way
The night we called it a day
I heard the song of the spheres
Like a minor lament in my ears
I hadn't the heart left to pray
The night we called it a day
Soft through the dark
The hoot of an owl in the sky
Sad though his song
No bluer was he than I
The moon went down stars were gone
But the sun didn't rise with the dawn
There wasn't a thing left to say
The night we called it a day
There wasn't a thing left to say
The night we called it a day

From Letty with Love

In honor of Fat Tuesday a little Professor Longhair.

Well I'm goin' to New Orleans

Goin' down to New Orleans

C'mon take me to the Mardi Gras
Where the people sing and play
Where the dancing is elite
And there's music in the street
Both night and day

Hurry take me to the Mardi Gras
In the city of my dreams
You can legalize your lows
You can wear your summer clothes
In the New Orleans

And I will lay my burden down
Rest my head upon that shore
And when I wear that starry crown
I won't be wanting anymore

Take your burdens to the Mardi Gras
Let the music wash your soul
You can mingle in the street
You can jingle to the beat of Jelly Roll
Tumba, tumba, tumba, Mardi Gras
Tumba, tumba, tumba, day

I was going to play some Clifton Chenier but I can't find the lyrics and would not even attempt to translate.

Johnny Mercer

"I Thought About You"


I took a trip on a train
And I thought about you
I passed a shadowy lane
And I thought about you

Two or three cars parked under the stars
A winding stream
Moon shining down on some little town
And with each beam, the same old dream

And every stop that we made, oh, I thought about you
When I pulled down the shade then I really felt blue
I peeked through the crack, looked at the track
The one going back to you
And what did I do? I thought about you

Good morning, WA2K listeners and contributors.

Hey, sublime. Great to see you in our wee studio, and luv that dixieland jazz with a touch of the French quarter. Thanks, Chicago.

hamburger, Johnny Mercer is probably one of the most prolific and fabulous writers and performers ever to grace this planet. You will forgive us if we don't tango this morning, however.<smile>

Ah, Eva, thanks for the Paul Simon, honey. Much appreciated by all our listeners.

A note to McTag:

A 184-proof whisky, and that's no blarney Mon Feb 27, 6:04 AM ET



LONDON (AFP) - Following a 17th century recipe, one of the eight artisanal whisky producers on the tiny Scottish isle of Islay will produce a dozen barrels of 184-proof whisky, the company announced.


That's 92 percent alcohol, which is about as strong as whisky can get without being sold in a pharmacy.

"The first taste affects all the members of the body," a 1695 description of the elixir reads. "Two spoonfuls of this last liquor is a sufficient dose -- if any man should exceed this, it would presently stop his breath, and endanger his life."

The Bruichladdich distillery said it would install webcams so that customers thirsty with anticipation could watch the potentially lethal concoction come into being.

WOW!

David Niven
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Lieutenant Colonel David Niven (March 1, 1910 - July 29, 1983), was an English actor who achieved the distinction of success in both the British and the Hollywood film industry.


Biography

James David Graham Niven was born in London, England, the son of William Edward Graham Niven and French/British Henrietta Julia de Gacher, who was born in Wales. He was named David for his birth on St. David's Day. His father died during the Gallipoli Campaign in 1915 and his mother remarried Sir Thomas Comyn-Platt. After attending Stowe as a boy Niven trained at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, which gave him the "officer and gentleman" bearing that was to be his trademark. He served for two years in Malta with the Highland Light Infantry. Niven often claimed that he was born in Kirriemuir, Angus, Scotland, which he believed sounded more romantic than London.

Arriving in Hollywood during the early 1930s, he first worked as an extra in westerns, then had a walk-on part in the 1935 version of Mutiny on the Bounty. He then landed a long term contract as a supporting player with independent film producer Samuel Goldwyn which firmly established his career and allowed him to progress to leading man status in many films such as the RKO comedy Bachelor Mother (1939) with Ginger Rogers.

During World War II he served in the British army, rising to the rank of Lt Col in the British Commandos and landing at Normandy. He did, however, consent to play in two films during the War, both of strong propaganda value: The First of the Few (1942) and The Way Ahead (1944). During his war service, his batman was Pte. Peter Ustinov.

Despite the natural interest in what celebrities did during the war, Niven remained politely, but definitely close mouthed about the subject. After Great Britain declared war in 1939, he was one of the first actors to go back and join the army. Although Niven had a reputation for telling good old stories over and over again, he was totally silent about his war experience. He said once: "I will, however, tell you just one thing about the war, my first story and my last. I was asked by some American friends to search out the grave of their son near Bastogne. I found it where they told me I would, but it was among 27,000 others, and I told myself that here, Niven, were 27,000 reasons why you should keep your mouth shut after the war." He did finally open up about it in his 1971 autobiography, The Moon's A Balloon, however, mentioning his private conversations with Winston Churchill, the bombings, and what it was like entering a nearly completely destroyed Germany with the occupation forces.

In spite of six years' virtual absence from the screen, he came in second in the 1945 Popularity Poll of British film stars. On his return to Hollywood after the war he was made a Legionnaire of the Order of Merit (the highest American order that can be earned by a foreigner). This was presented to Lt. Col. David Niven by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower.

He resumed his career after the war with films such as Around the World in Eighty Days (as Phileas Fogg), The Guns of Navarone, The Pink Panther and as Sir James Bond in the unofficial series spoof Casino Royale. He won an Academy Award for his performance in Separate Tables (1958). Late in life, he gained critical acclaim for his memoirs of his boyhood and acting career, The Moon's A Balloon (1971) and Bring On the Empty Horses (1975).

In 1940, Niven married Primula Susan Rollo (1918-1946), the aristocratic daughter of a British pilot, after a whirlwind two-week romance; they had two sons, David Jr. and Jamie. She died at age 28, only six weeks after moving to America, of a fractured skull and brain lacerations after accidentally falling down a flight of stone steps during a hide-and-seek party at the home of Tyrone Power; she had mistakenly opened a door to a cellar and stepped inside, apparently thinking it was a closet. She died one day later. Niven recalls this as the darkest period of his life, years afterwards thanking his friends for their patience and forebearance during this time.

He eventually rallied and returned to film making.

Niven's second wife, whom he married in 1948, ten days after they met, was Hjordis Paulina Tersmeden (née Genberg, 1921-1997), a divorced Swedish fashion model and frustrated actress. The moment of his meeting her was recounted by Niven in what might be a classic example of his writing style. Upon seeing her, he said, his mouth and knees suddenly seemed to be 'full of champagne.'

They had two adopted daughters, Kristin and Fiona, one of whom has long been rumored to be Niven's child by another fashion model, Mona Gunnarson. The marriage was as witheringly tumultuous as Niven's previous marriage had been happy. Thwarted from an acting career, Hjordis Niven began having public affairs with other men and soon became an alcoholic. Bitter, estranged, and plagued by depression, she showed up drunk at Niven's funeral, after having been convinced to attend by family friend Rainier III of Monaco.

Niven died in Switzerland on July 29, 1983 (the same day as his The Prisoner of Zenda and A Matter of Life and Death co-star Raymond Massey) of motor neurone disease (a.k.a. Lou Gehrig's disease) at age 73. He had just completed work on Trail of the Pink Panther and Curse of the Pink Panther. Niven was incomprehensible at one point during the filming of both movies, and his voice was dubbed over in post-production by impressionist Rich Little.


Quotations

* "It really is amazing. Can you imagine being wonderfully overpaid for dressing up and playing games? It's like being Peter Pan" -- David Niven
* "I don't think his acting ever quite achieved the brilliance or the polish of his dinner-party conversations." -- John Mortimer
* "The only laugh that man will ever get in his life is by stripping... and showing his shortcomings." David Niven, commenting on the streaker who crossed the stage while he was hosting the Academy Awards in 1974.
* "I've been lucky enough to win an Oscar, write a best-seller - my other dream would be to have a painting in the Louvre. The only way that's going to happen is if I paint a dirty one on the wall of the gentlemen's lavatory."

Harry Belafonte
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Harold George Belafonte, Jr. (born on March 1, 1927 in Harlem, New York, United States) is a Jamaican-American musician, actor, social activist. One of the most successful African-American musicians in history, he was dubbed the "King of Calypso" for popularizing the Caribbean musical style. Throughout his career he has been an advocate for civil rights and humanitarian causes. In recent years he has been a vocal critic of the policies of the Bush administration.


Youth and early career

From 1935 to 1939 he lived with his mother in the village of Aboukir in her homeland Jamaica. When he returned to New York he attended George Washington High School after which he joined the Navy and served during World War II. At the end of the 1940s he took classes in acting and subsequently received a Tony Award for his participation in John Murray Anderson's Almanac.


Music

Belafonte is perhaps best known for singing the "Banana Boat Song," with its signature lyric "Day-O".

His breakthrough album Calypso (1956) was the first full-length album to sell over 1 million copies (Bing Crosby's White Christmas and Tennessee Ernie Ford's Sixteen Tons, both vinyl singles, had previously surpassed the 1 million mark). The album is number four on Billboard's "Top 100 Album" list for having spent 31 weeks at number 1, 58 weeks in the top ten, and 99 weeks on the US charts.

Belafonte was the first African-American to win an Emmy, with his first solo TV special Tonight with Belafonte (1959). He was also a guest star and sung on an episode of The Muppet Show (aired 1979).

He won a Grammy Award in 2000 for lifetime achievement, and was named one of nine 2006 Impact Award recipients by AARP The Magazine.


Political and humanitarian activism

Belafonte was an early supporter of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and one of Martin Luther King's confidants. In 1968, Belafonte appeared on a Petula Clark primetime television special on NBC.
In the middle of a song, Clark smiled and briefly touched Belafonte's arm, which made the show's sponsor, Plymouth Motors, nervous. Plymouth wanted to cut out the segment but Clark, who had ownership of the special, told NBC that the performance would be shown intact or she would not allow the special to be aired. American newspapers published articles reporting the controversy and when the special aired it grabbed high viewing figures. Clark's gesture marked the first time in which two people of different races made friendly bodily contact on US television.

Belafonte appeared on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and performed a controversial "Mardi Gras" number with footage intercut from the 1968 Democratic National Convention riots.

In 1985, he was one of the organizers behind the Grammy Award winning song "We Are The World," a multi-artist effort to raise funds for Africa, and performed in the Live Aid concert that same year.

In 1987, he received an appointment to UNICEF as a goodwill ambassador. In 2002 Africare awarded him the Bishop John T. Walker Distinguished Humanitarian Service Award for his efforts to assist Africa.

Belafonte has been involved in prostate cancer advocacy since 1996, when he was diagnosed and successfully treated for the disease. [1]


Controversial political statements

Belafonte began making controversial political statements in the early 1980's. He has, at various times, made statements praising Soviet peace initiatives, attacking the U.S. invasion of Grenada, praising the Abraham Lincoln Brigade (a Communist-affiliated group in the Spanish Civil War), honoring Ethel and Julius Rosenberg and praising Fidel Castro. [2]

Belafonte only achieved widespread notoriety for his political views, however, in 2002, when he began making a series of incendiary comments about President George W. Bush, catalyzed by Belafonte's disapproval of the Iraq War.

In October 2002, Belafonte appeared on Democracy Now! where he quoted the civil rights era icon Malcolm X:

There was two kinds of slaves. There was the house Negro and the field Negro. The house Negroes, they lived in the house with master, they dressed pretty good, they ate good 'cause they ate his food and what he left... In those days he was called a 'house nigger.' And that's what we call him today, because we've still got some house niggers running around here.

Belafonte used the quote to characterize both former and current United States Secretary of State Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, both African-Americans, as "house slaves" for serving in Bush's cabinet, which he implied was racist, and for their refusal to stand against the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He was implying that, by going along with Bush's plans, the two were only serving the cause of their "master". He repeated the charge on an interview on Larry King Live. Powell and Rice both responded, with Powell calling the remarks "unfortunate" [3] and Rice saying "I don't need Harry Belafonte to tell me what it means to be black." [4]

In August 2005, Belafonte tried to justify the "house slave" analogy by saying "Hitler had a lot of Jews high up in the hierarchy of the Third Reich." [5]


In January of 2006, Belafonte led a delegation of activists including actor Danny Glover and activist/professor Cornel West which met with President of Venezuela Hugo Chavez. Belafonte was quoted as saying, "No matter what the greatest tyrant in the world, the greatest terrorist in the world, George W. Bush says, we're here to tell you: Not hundreds, not thousands, but millions of the American people ... support your revolution." [6]

The comment ignited a great deal of controversy. Hillary Clinton refused to acknowledge his presence at an awards ceremony that featured both of them. [7] AARP, which had just named him one of their 10 Impact Award honorees 2006, released a statement following the remarks, saying, "AARP does not condone the manner and tone which he has chosen and finds his comments completely unacceptable." [8]

On a Martin Luther King Day speech at Duke University in 2006, Belafonte claimed he found no difference between the American government and the hijackers of 9/11, saying, "What is the difference between that terrorist and other terrorists?" [9]

In January 2006, in a speech to the annual meeting of the Arts Presenters Members Conference, Belafonte said, "We've come to this dark time in which the new Gestapo lurks here, where citizens are having their rights suspended." [10]


Family

His daughter, Shari Belafonte, is a photographer, model and actress.


Quotes

I work for the United Nations. I go to places where enormous upheaval and pain and anguish exist. And a lot of it exists based upon American policy. Whom we support, whom we support as heads of state, what countries we've helped to overthrow, what leaders we've helped to diminish because they did not fit the mold we think they should fit, no matter how ill advised that thought may be. - Harry Belafonte interview on CNN Larry King Live, October 15, 2002

Kingston Town :: Harry Belafonte

Down the way, where the nights are gay,
and the sun shines daily on the mountain top,
I took a trip on a sailing ship,
and when I reach Jamaica I made a stop.

But I'm sad to say,
I'm on my way,
won't be back for many a day.
My heart is down,
my head is turning around,
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town.

Sounds of laughter everywhere,
and the dancing girls swing to and through.
I must declare my heart is there,
thou I've been from Maine to Mexico.

But I'm sad to say,
I'm on my way,
won't be back for many a day.
My heart is down,
my head is turning around,
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town.

At the market you can hear,
ladies cry out while on their heads they bear,
acky rice, salt, fish are nice
and the rum is fine any time a year.

But I'm sad to say,
I'm on my way,
won't be back for many a day.
My heart is down,
my head is turning around,
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town.

Down the way, where the nights are gay,
and the sun shines daily on the mountain top,
I took a trip on a sailing ship,

But I'm sad to say,
I'm on my way,
won't be back for many a day.
My heart is down,

Sad to say,
I'm on my way,
won't be back for many a day.
My heart is down,

Ron Howard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ronald William Howard (born March 1, 1954) is an American actor, film director and producer born in Duncan, Oklahoma of Dutch, Scottish, English, Irish, German and Cherokee Indian descent.

Ron Howard first earned recognition as the child with the lisp in the film version of The Music Man with Robert Preston and Shirley Jones. His younger brother, Clint Howard, is a popular character actor. Ron's parents, Rance Howard and the late Jean F. Speegle, were also actors.

After The Music Man, he appeared in the role of Opie Taylor in the television series The Andy Griffith Show. There he portrayed the son of the local sheriff in the fictional town of Mayberry, North Carolina. The credits referred to him as Ronny Howard.

Howard also is well known for his role as Richie Cunningham in television's Happy Days where he played the likeable foil to Henry Winkler's Fonz. He attained film success with his role as Steve Bollander in George Lucas' teen movie American Graffiti.

In 1977, while still starring on Happy Days, he directed his first film, a low-budget comedy action film called Grand Theft Auto. After leaving Happy Days in 1980, he directed several TV movies. His big theatrical directing break came in 1982 when he directed the bigger budget film Night Shift featuring soon-to-be well-known actors such as Michael Keaton and Shelley Long.

He has since directed a number of high-visibility films, the most acclaimed of which include Splash, Cocoon, Apollo 13 (nominated for several Academy Awards), and A Beautiful Mind, for which he won the Oscar for Best Director. Howard is the co-chairman with Brian Grazer of Imagine Entertainment, a major film and television production company, which has produced notable projects like Friday Night Lights, 8 Mile, and the television series 24 and Felicity.

He attended the University of Southern California's School of Cinema-Television but did not graduate.

Through his company Imagine Television, Howard continues to have a presence in television, most recently as the executive producer and uncredited narrator of the critically acclaimed FOX sitcom Arrested Development. The show, despite having won five Emmy awards and near-unanimous praise from critics, did not enjoy high ratings and was limited by Fox Television in 2006. A season finale took place in February. Although many rumours go round, the show is not officially cancelled, however the finale revealed that the show decided to end, with a the hint of a possible feature.

Howard wed his high-school sweetheart, Cheryl, a writer, and they have been married for more than 25 years. Their daughter Bryce Dallas Howard is an actress.

In an episode of South Park, when Cartman "turns ginger" he asks a crowd of fellow ginger haired people to name great Americans with the hair color, the first named is "Ron Howard", when asked to name a second, after a short silence from the crowd, one responds "Ron Howard".

George and Harriet decided to celebrate their 25th Wedding Anniversary
with a trip to Las Vegas. When they entered the hotel/casino and registered, a
sweet young woman dressed in a very short skirt became very friendly.
George brushed her off. Harriet objected, "George, that young woman was nice, and you were so rude."
"Harriet, she's a prostitute."
"I don't believe you. That sweet young thing?"
"Let's go up to our room and I'll prove it."
In their room, George called down to the desk and asked for 'Bambi' to come to room 1217.
"Now," he said, "you hide in the bathroom with the door open just enough to hear us, OK?"
Soon, there was a knock on the door. George opened it and Bambi walked in,
swirling her hips provocatively. George asked, "How much do you charge?"
"$125 basic rate, $100 tips for special services." Even George was taken aback.
"$125! I was thinking more in the range of $25." Bambi laughed derisively.
"You must really be a hick if you think you can buy sex for that price."
"Well," said George, "I guess we can't do business. Goodbye." After she left,
Harriet came out of the bathroom. She said, "I just can't believe it!"
George said, "Let's forget it. We'll go have a drink, then eat
dinner." At the bar, as they sipped their cocktails, Bambi came up behind George,
pointed slyly at Harriet, and said, "See what you get for $25?"

And a Happy 79th to:




And a good day to all.

As usual, folks, we know when our Boston Bob is through with his bio's. Bambi got the last word on that one. <smile>

Ah, Raggedy. edgar will love that picture as Harry is one of his favorites. Thanks, PA.

You know, folks, lots of synchronicity today, as on another sub forum in our vast audience, I listed Chopin's Revolutionary etude as an eerie song. It is, when one thinks of the inspiration behind it.

Back later with more songs, news and music.

This is cyber space, WA2K radio.

In looking through our archives trying to locate Johnny Mercer songs, I ran across this one, but I don't think he wrote it.

Mystery song:

Pardon my southern accent,
Pardon my southern drawl'
It may sound funny, ah, but honey!
I love y'all
If you don't like my accent
If you don't like my drawl,
Then just don't listen, let's start kissin
Bet you'll fall

Come on, now, let me hear you steal my stuff
When I say, "Do you love me,"
All you gotta say is "Sho 'nuff".

Pardon my southern accent,
Didn't I hear you drawl,
Were you just sighin', or replyin'
I love y'all

It's no mystery, however, that I love all of you here. <smile>
