WA2K Radio is now on the air

This was number one in '72 listeners. I honestly don't remember hearing it, but it's by Nilsson:

(aside to the PD: Mr. T was Mr. James Taylor )

No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows

No, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrows
When I had you there but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know

I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give any more
Can't live if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give any more

No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows

Can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
I can't live if living is without you
Can't live, I can't give anymore
(Living is without you)

I'm Alive
************
I'm alive - and the world shines for me today
I'm alive - suddenly I am here today
Seems like forever (and a day), thought I could never (feel this way)
Is this really me? I'm alive, I'm alive

I'm alive - and the dawn breaks across the sky
I'm alive - and the sun rises up so high
Lost in another world (far away), never another word (till today)
But what can I say? I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

(Instrumental break)

Suddenly came the dawn (from the night), suddenly I was born (into light)
How can it be real? I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

I'm alive - and the world shines for me today
I'm alive - suddenly I am here today
Seems like forever (and a day), thought I could never (feel this way)
Is this really me? I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

(Instrumental break)

I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

and a bright good morning to you who is tryin' his wings. Lovely song, buddy and thank you for your greeting.

AHA! Mr. Turtle. THAT Mr. T, I thought perhaps it was you or some black dude who used to wear gold.<smile>

It's nice to see our shari back and staying alive, listeners.

I have nagging memory loss about the movie that I watched in which Toni Braxton sang. Perhaps someone can remember for me.

and, folks, here's a delightful memory song:

A #1 Country hit in 2004, it also reached #69 on the Top 40 charts
A classic First Dance song at weddings, or Anniversary dance song



Remember when, I was young and so were you
And time stood still, and love was all we knew
You were the first, so was I
We made love and then you cried
Remember when

Remember when we vowed the vows and walked the walk
Gave our hearts, made the start, it was hard
We lived and learned, life threw curves
There was joy, there was hurt
Remember when

Remember when old ones died and new were born
And life was changed, disassembled, rearranged
We came together, fell apart
And broke each other's hearts
Remember when

Remember when, the sound of little feet was the music
We danced to week to week
Brought back the love, we found trust
Vowed we'd never give up
Remember when

Remember when thirty seemed old
Now lookin' back, it's just a steppin' stone
To where we are, where we've been
Said we'd do it all again
Remember when

Remember when, we said when we turned gray
When the children grow up and move away
We won't be sad, we'll be glad
For all the life we've had
And we'll remember when
Remember when
Remember when

Dean Stockwell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Dean Stockwell (born March 5, 1936 in North Hollywood, California) is an American actor who is best-known for his role as Admiral Albert "Al" Calavicci in the American TV series Quantum Leap.

Film career

Born Robert Dean Stockwell, he began his acting career at age seven. One of his notable child roles was as the 11-year-old son of Gregory Peck in Gentleman's Agreement (1947). He also starred in the lead role of a very enlightening and entertaining film "The Boy With Green Hair" in 1948. Unlike many child actors, he continued to act past his teenage years.

In 1959, Stockwell appeared in the film Compulsion, based on the famous case of Leopold and Loeb (with characters names changed to "Steiner and Strauss"), playing Judd Steiner. Compulsion also starred Orson Welles as the Clarence Darrow-based lawyer Jonathan Wilk.

In 1984 he appeared in Wim Wender's critically acclaimed film Paris, Texas. In 1986, Stockwell appeared in the David Lynch cult classic, Blue Velvet. In 1988 he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Mafia boss Tony "the Tiger" Russo in the comedy Married to the Mob.


Television roles

Stockwell's performance as Tony inspired producer Donald Bellisario to cast him in what would arguably become his best-known role, as Admiral Albert Calivicci ("Al") in the American TV series Quantum Leap, which aired between 1989 and 1993. He also appeared as a guest star on an episode Star Trek: Enterprise with former co-star of Quantum Leap, Scott Bakula. Bellisario also cast Stockwell as Senator Edward Sheffield in First Monday and JAG in 2002; his role would continue as Secretary of the Navy Edward Sheffield from late 2002 until JAG's cancellation in 2005.


Personal life

In 1960 he married actress Millie Perkins but they divorced two years later.

Stockwell is an accomplished artist. He creates both digitally enhanced photographs and original collages in the style of his friend and fellow artist, Wallace Berman. He is also a friend of musician Neil Young and designed the album cover art for American Stars'n'Bars. Together they would direct Human Highway, which Stockwell wrote.

Stockwell is an avid golfer and would play golf during breaks in filming episodes of Quantum Leap.

MEDICAL INSURANCE EXPLAINED
(Research done by the AARP Legal Department)

Q. What does HMO stand for?
A. This is actually a variation of the phrase, "HEY MOE." Its roots go
back to a concept pioneered by Moe of the Three Stooges, who discovered that a
patient could be made to forget the pain in his foot if he was poked hard enough in the eye.

Q. I just joined an HMO. How difficult will it be to choose the doctor I want?
A. Just slightly more difficult than choosing your parents. Your insurer will provide
you with a book listing all the doctors in the plan. The doctors basically fall into two
categories: those who are no longer accepting new patients, and those who will see
you but are no longer participating in the plan. But don't worry, the remaining doctor
who is still in the plan and accepting new patients has an office just a
half-day's drive away and a diploma from a third world country.

Q. Do all diagnostic procedures require pre-certification?
A. No. Only those you need.

Q. Can I get coverage for my preexisting conditions?
A. Certainly, as long as they don't require any treatment.

Q. What happens if I want to try alternative forms of medicine?
A. You'll need to find alternative forms of payment.

Q. My pharmacy plan only covers generic drugs, but I need the name brand.
I tried the generic medication, but it gave me a stomach ache. What should I do?
A. Poke yourself in the eye.

Q. What if I'm away from home and I get sick?
A. You really shouldn't do that.

Q. I think I need to see a specialist, but my doctor insists he can handle my problem.
Can a general practitioner really perform a heart transplant right in his/her office?
A. Hard to say, but considering that all you're risking is the $20 co-payment, there's no harm in giving it a shot.

Q. Will health care be different in the next century?
A. No, but if you call right now, you might get an appointment by then.

To Your Good Health (because as you'll see, you'll need it!)

i suppose it's human nature to take things for granted, but i am constantly amazed at how fast & accurately bob types.

Good Day to all.

I remember Toni Braxton performed a song (Let It Flow) in the movie "Waiting to Exhale", Letty.

A Happy 68th Birthday to Dean Stockwell.

Thanks yitwail. I think it's only fair to let my secret out. I have an autopilot option assigned to my fingers which bypasses the normal energy source and is replaced by a few gallons of coffee.

Oh by the way that last post is to be taken with a few grains of salt and a small period of leg pulling.

It's The Same Old Song - The Four Tops

You're sweet as a honey bee
But like a honey bee stings
You've gone and left my heart in pain
All you left is our favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
It used to bring sweet memories
Of a tender love that used to be

Now it's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

A sentimental fool am I
to hear a old love song
And wanna cry
But the melody keeps haunting me
Reminding me how in love we used to be
Keep hearing the part
That used to touch my heart
Saying together forever
Breaking up never

It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

Precious memories keep a lingering on
Everytime I hear our favorite song
Now you're gone
Left this emptiness
I only reminisce
The happiness we spent
We used to dance on the music
Make romance through the music

It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

in that case bob, you may want to supplement your fluid intake with Jolt cola. hackers swear by it--it's got twice the caffeine of regular coke.

I haven't seen Jolt Cola in Texas in at least several years.

And in between, folks, there's edgar and Dean. <smile>

Raggedy, That's not the movie, PA. The sum and substance of the plot had to do with a black man who received a stay from the governor right before the final lethal injection. The main character was someone who continued the fight to save him(and did) by finally tracing the young black kid who really killed the girl in the one stop shop place. By appealing to the young black kid's mom, and recognizing the locket said mom was wearing as the one belonging to the victim, they together alerted the governor. The end of the movie is when I first heard Toni Braxton sing "Meanwhile". As is often the case with me, the movie paled in the light of that woman's fantastic voice.

Did I type fast enough, Bob and Yit?

edgar, there's even a Jolt gum--2 sticks equal a cup of coffee. i personally don't need this stuff, i'm wired enough without 'em.

this one's for letty: now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party.

Letty, that movie sounds like "True Crime" with Clint Eastwood. But I don't see any listing for Toni Braxton. All that's listed for that movie is:

Little Drummer Boy"
Written by Katherine Davis, Henry Onorati, Harry Simeone
Performed by Kenny Burrell

"Why Should I Care"
Written by Clint Eastwood, Carole Bayer Sager, Linda Thompson
Performed by Diana Krall

But, that's exactly what happened in "True Crime". Good luck in tracking your song down.

fdsa jkl; Remember speedy alka seltzer?



and speaking of now is the time, how about a repeat of this one:

Now is the hour,
When we must say goodbye,
Soon you'll be sailing,
Far across the sea.
While you're away,
Oh, then remember me.
When you return you'll find me,
Waiting here.

That's the movie, Raggedy. Now I am confused. Oh, well, listeners, what else is new?

Peanut Butter Kiss Didn't Cause Death Sat Mar 4, 12:30 AM ET



SAGUENAY, Quebec - A 15-year-old girl with a peanut allergy did not die from kissing her boyfriend following his snack of peanut butter, a Quebec coroner said Friday, countering a report that drew international attention last year.



Saguenay coroner Michel Miron said Christina Desforges died from another cause. However, he refused to disclose that, saying he first first wanted to report to the provincial coroner's office as well as examine more test results.

But Miron said he was speaking out now to head off an allergy association from using the case as an example.

"The Canadian Association of Food Allergies intended to use the Desforges case to launch an education campaign," he said. "I had to tell them the cause of death was different than first believed."

Miron wasn't available on Friday to comment further on the circumstances of the teen's death in this small city, about 155 miles north of Quebec City.

Christina Desforges died in a Quebec hospital in November. Reports at the time said doctors were unable to treat her allergic reaction to the kiss the previous weekend.

Miron also said the teen didn't receive a shot of Adrenalin immediately after being kissed. It was reported the shot hadn't penetrated her skin.

He said scientific journals had contacted him questioning the use of Adrenalin shot and how it's injected.

But he said the teen didn't use her syringe to give herself a shot of Adrenalin because she didn't have an allergic reaction to peanut butter.

At least peanut butter is vindicated.
