try, that was a great song, buddy. Reminds me of my first love.
Eva, honey. As much as moms love their sons, you gotta let 'em cut and run. (with a curfew, of course)
Artist: George Thorogood And The Destroyers
Song: Get A Job
I was a rebel from the day I left school,
Grew my hair long and broke all the rules.
I'd sit and listen to my records all day,
With big ambitions of when I could play.
My parents taught me what life was about,
So I grew into the type they warned me about!
They said my friends my were just an unruley mob.
And I should...
Get a haircut and get a real job.
Get a haircut and get a real job.
Clean your act up and don't be a slob.
Get it together like your big brother Bob.
Why don't you?
Get a haircut and get a real job.
I even tried that nine to five scheme.
I told myself that it was all a bad dream.
I found a band and some good songs to play.
Now I, party all night, I sleep all day.
I met this chick she was my number one fan.
She took me home to meet her mommy and dad.
They took one look at me and said "OH MY GOD!"
Get a haircut and get a real job!
Get a haircut and get a real job.
Clean your act up and don't be a slob.
Get it together like your big brother Bob.
Why don't you?
Get a haircut...and get a real job.
Get a real job...
Why don't you get a real job?
Get a real job.
Why don't you get a real job?
I hit the big time with my Rock N' Roll band.
The future's brighter now then I ever planned!
I'm ten times richer then my big brother Bob.
But...He's got a haircut and "real job!"
Get a haircut and get a real job.
Clean your act up and don't be a slob.
Get it together like your big brother Bob.
Why don't you?
Get a haircut and get a real job.
Get a real job...
Why don't you get a real job?
Get a real job.
Why don't you get a real job?

Old time rock & roll
Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
Today's music aln 't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n' roll
Don't try to take me to a disco
You'll never even get me out on the
In ten minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old time rock'n' roll
Still like that old time rock'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll
Won't go to hear them play a tango
I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul
There's only sure way to get me to go
Start playing old time rock 'n' roll
Call me a relic, call me what you will
Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill
Today' music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n' roll
Still like that old time rock'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll

That's good, Eva. 'Cause I'm geting ready to read some X-rated material:
ReutersFormer FEMA chief says video vindicates him
Reuters - 1 hour, 10 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - Former Federal Emergency Management Director Michael Brown said on Thursday he feels vindicated by a video showing him in a conference with U.S. President George W. Bush and other officials warning them about the dangers posed by Hurricane Katrina. In an interview with FOX News Radio's "The Tony Snow Show," Brown said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff owes him an apology for forcing him to stay in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to conduct the agency's response, rather than allow him to travel throughout the region devastated by the storm.
FEMA still owes me $7,000.00. I'm thinking about turning it over to a collection agency.

Wilburys Traveling Lyrics
Margarita Lyrics
Margarita, ah
Margarita, ah
Ooh
It was in Pittsburgh late one night
I lost my hat, got into a fight
I rolled and tumbled till I saw the light
Went to the big apple, took a bite
Still the sun went down your way
Down from the blue into the gray
Where I stood I saw you walk away
You danced away
I asked her what we're gonna do tonight
She said "Cahuenga Langa-Langa-Shoe Box Soup"
We better keep tryin' till we get it right
Tala mala sheela jaipur dhoop
She wrote a long letter on short piece of paper
Oh margarita don't stay away too long
Come on home
Oh margarita don't say you will when you won't
Margarita

as i head for the freeway, here's something wistful by the Carpenters
Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
We've got a lifetime to share
So much to say
And as we go
From day to day
I'll feel you close to me
But time alone will tell
Let's take a lifetime to say
"I knew you well"
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow
For all we know.
Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways

Ah, Mr. turtle. We've missed you on our little radio. That is a wistful song, honey, and I love it.
Guess we can get into the mood music tonight, folks.
Look Of Love
(From the album "VERY BEST OF DUSTY SPRINGFIELD")
The look of love
Is in your eyes
The look your smile can't disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
You've got the look of love
It's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Be mine tonight
Let this be just the start
Of so many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow
And then seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don't ever go
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so

Time for your PD to say goodnight, and I think, dear friends, that I will do it the Gray way. <smile>
The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,
The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea
The plowman homeward plods his weary way,
And leaves the world to darkness and to me.
Now fades the glimm'ring landscape on the sight,
And all the air a solemn stillness holds,
Save where the beetle wheels his droning flight,
And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds;
Save that from yonder ivy-mantled tow'r
The moping owl does to the moon complain
Of such, as wand'ring near her secret bow'r,
Molest her ancient solitary reign.
From Letty with love

Good morning, good morning
Good morning, good morning
Good morning ah
Nothing to do to save his life call his wife in
Nothing to say but what a day how's your boy been
Nothing to do it's up to you
I've got nothing to say but it's OK
Good morning, good morning
Good morning ah
Going to work don't want to go feeling low down
Heading for home you start to roam then you're in town
Everybody knows there's nothing doing
Everything is closed it's like a ruin
Everyone you see is half asleep
And you're on your own you're in the street
After a while you start to smile now you feel cool
Then you decide to take a walk by the old school
Nothing is changed it's still the same
I've got nothing to say but it's OK
Good morning, good morning
Good morning ah
People running round it's five o'clock
Everywhere in town is getting dark
Everyone you see is full of life
It's time for tea and meet the wife
Somebody needs to know the time, glad that I'm here
Watching the skirts you start to flirt now you're in gear
Go to a show you hope she goes
I've got nothing to say but it's OK
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good

Good morning, WA2K listeners and contributors.
And a special good morning to our edgar and two of the fab four. <smile>
Thanks, Texas for the inspiring "begin the day" song.
Well, folks. I don't know how the sky that covers you appears, but here, it is gray and angry.
Ok, here's a wee riddle for our fans. Tomorrow is COMMAND DAY, and why is that?

Good morning to you Letty and Maxwell, I trust you slept well.
Words and music by Freddie Mercury,Brian May,Roger
Taylor and John Deacon
Sleeping very soundly on a Friday morning
I was dreaming I was Al Capone
There's a rumour going round
Gotta clear outa town
I'm smelling like a dry fish bone
Here come the law gonna break down the door
Gonna carry me away once more
Never never I never want it anymore
Gotta get away from this stone cold floor
Crazy stone cold crazy you know
Rainy afternoon I gotta blow a typhoon
And I'm playing on my slide trombone
Anymore anymore cannot take it anymore
Gotta get away from this stone cold floor
Crazy stone cold crazy you know
Walking down the street
Shooting people that I meet
With my rubber Tommy water gun
Here come the deputy
He's gonna come and get me
I gotta get me up and run
They got the sirens loose
I ran right outa juice
They're gonna put me in a cell
If I can't go to heaven
Will they let me go to hell?
Crazy stone cold crazy you know

Good morning to you, try. Your song reminded me that Al Capone adored Enrico Caruso, and in that, my friend we share a common interest.
One of my favorite arias, listeners, from the fabulous tenor:
CELESTE AIDA lyrics Michael Bolton CELESTE AIDA lyrics
(Aida)(Heavenly Aida)
Celeste Aida, forma divina,
Mistico serto di luce e fior,
Del mio pensiero tu sei regina,
Tu di mia vita sei lo splendor.
Il tuo bel cielo vorrei ridarti,
Le dolci breeze del patrio suol;
Un regal serto sul crin posarti,
Ergerti un trono vicino al sol, ah!
SYNOPSES
The Ethiopians have been defeated in battle. Aida, their princess, has been enslaved by the victorious Egyptians, though her identity is not known to them. The Egyptian General Radames falls in love with the beautiful Aida and dreams of setting her upon a throne.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Heavenly Aida, goddess of beauty,
garland of flowers and of bright light.
You are the ruler of all of my thoughts,
you are the splendor of my whole life.
I'll bring you back, yes, to your lovely skies
to the soft breezes of your native land.
I'll place a royal wreath upon your crown,
and build you a throne close to the sun!

Thanks again, try, for your timely and provocative music. On another subject in our vast audience, I noticed that once again the subject of imagination and creativity was broached.
In my mind, I picture our tryagain this way:
And should our listeners be interested in this remarkable man:
