WA2K Radio is now on the air

Might well be, he was more famous in Europe.

Since I'm too lazy to type that, I just copy/paste it from the paper (that's the Lonson 'Evening Standard, late West End Edition' from today):

Wow! Walter. Thanks for that very easy to read and say verification.

Hmmm. I wonder if Rubber Ball is "....I never knew, you'd bid me farewell, there's a lesson to be learned from that and I learned it very well....." I'll check that out later.

So, Gene also wrote "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance". Well, how about that, listeners.

Thanks to both Walter and Try for the musical education. <smile>

Well, let's play this one for Gene.




When Liberty Valance rode to town the womenfolk would hide, they'd hide
When Liberty Valance walked around the men would step aside
'cause the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood
When it came to shootin' straight and fast---he was mighty good.

>From out of the East a stranger came, a law book in his hand, a man
The kind of a man the West would need to tame a troubled land
'cause the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood
When it came to shootin' straight and fast---he was mighty good.

Many a man would face his gun and many a man would fall
The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance
He was the bravest of them all.

The love of a woman can make a man stay on when he should go, stay on
Just tryin' to build a peaceful life where love is free to grow
But the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood
When the final showdown came at last, a law book was no good.

Alone and afraid she prayed that he'd return that fateful night, aww that night
When nothin' she said could keep her man from goin' out to fight
>From the moment a girl gets to be full-grown the very first thing she learns
When two men go out to face each other only one retur-r-r-ns

Everyone heard two shots ring out, a shot made Liberty fall
The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance
He was the bravest of them all.

The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance
He was the bravest of them all.

Surprise, folks, that was also done by James Taylor

Walter, that was clever.



Don't Be Sad 'Cause Your Sun Is Down Lyrics
Artist: James Taylor
Album: In The Pocket


Don't be sad 'cause your sun is down
You can rise above it
Don't be sad 'cause you're on your own
You have to learn to love it
Don't be sad 'cause your sun is down
You're gonna find your way
Don't be sad 'cause the day is done
There's another day, everyday

(Chorus)
Everyday I wake up just the same
Waiting for something new
Every night I have myself to blame
For the dreams that haven't come true
But especially today I'm feeling blue

Don't be sad 'cause your sun is down
Little mama he's bound to feel it
Don't be sad 'cause your boy is blue
It wouldn't do to conceal it from you
Don't be sad 'cause your sun is down
The night doesn't need your sorrow
Don't be sad 'cause the light is gone
Just keep your mind on tomorrow and carry on

- Chorus -

Well, Try, and I thought that I knew most of James' stuff. Lovely lyrics, buddy. "Don't be sad cause your sun is down." Rather sad, no?

Well, I guess we have to do Mary Lou, listeners.<smile>

You passed me by one sunny day
Flashed those big brown eyes my way
And oo I wanted you forever more
Now I'm not one that gets around
I swear my feet stuck to the ground
And though I never did meet you before

Chorus:
I said ";Hello Mary Lou
Goodbye heart
Sweet Mary Lou
I'm so in love with you

I knew Mary Lou
We'd never part
So Hello Mary Lou
Goodbye heart";

I saw your lips I heard your voice
believe me I just had no choice
Wild horses couldn't make me stay away
I thought about a moonlit night
My arms about good an' tight
That's all I had to see for me to say

Chorus

And.........Creedence Clearwater did that also.

Artist: Nilsson
Song: Everybody's talkin'

Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind

People stopping staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the North East wind
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the North East wind
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
I won't let you leave my love behind
No I won't let you leave
I won't let you leave my love behind

My word, Try. That was from the movie, Midnight Cowboy, right?

We all giggled in secret, because our minister's wife went to see the movie thinking it was a western. Love it!



Last movie I saw him in was Python. Good grief!

and it was quite a while ago, when i first heard it sung. thank you for playing my request.

Well, you are most welcome, Mr. Turtle. I hope you and your lady enjoyed your vacation, but we missed you here.

Well, folks, just like Ricky, Mr. Turtle has been............


I'm a travelin' man
And I've made a lot of stops all over the world
And in every port I own the heart
Of at least one lovely girl

I've a pretty Seniorita waitin' for me
Down in old Mexico
If you're ever in Alaska stop and see
My cute little Eskimo

Oh my sweet Fraulien down in Berlin town
Makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong
Waits for my return

Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea
I remember the night
When we walked in the sands of Waikiki
And I held you oh so tight

Oh my sweet Fraulien down in Berlin town
Makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong
Waits for my return

Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea
I remember the night
When we walked in the sands of Waikiki
And I held you oh so tight

Oh, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
Oh, I'm a travelin' man
Mmmmm....

Well, if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm,
When the rivers freeze and summer ends,
Please see if she's wearing a coat so warm,
To keep her from the howlin' winds.

Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
If it rolls and flows all down her breast.
Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
That's the way I remember her best.

I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all.
Many times I've often prayed
In the darkness of my night,
In the brightness of my day.

So if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

(Girl of the North Country by Bob Dylan - I love the recording of Dylan and Johnny Cash doing this one together.)

what did Cleopatra say to Ceasar ?

Estne volumen in toga, an solum tibi libet me videre?

and he replied. Romani quidem artem amatoriam invenerunt

------------- Si hoc signum legere potes, operis boni in rebus Latinis alacribus et fructuosis potiri potes!

Raggey, that was lovely, PA. Dylan and Johnny Cash? Fantastic. I would love to hear that, but thank you so much for playing it here. The words are a reminder of.............

Are you goin' to scarborough fair? parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there, she once was a true love of mine

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seams nor needlework, then she'll be a true love of mine

Tell her to find me an acre of land, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the salt water and the sea strand, then she'll be a true love of mine

Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather, then she'll be a true love of mine

Are you goin' to scarborough fair? parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there, she once was a true love of mine.

My word, folks, there's that London brat speaking Latin. Where have you been?

went to see a man about a dog, but I had problems turning my bike round

and while we wait for OAK to translate, folks, here's news from the animal world:



SEATTLE - The killer whales that chase salmon in this region's inland waters feed almost exclusively on chinook, to the extent that the orca population ebbs and flows right along with that of the West Coast's largest and longest-lived salmon, researchers said Tuesday.



The whales settle for chum salmon for six to eight weeks in the fall, when most of the chinook are gone, John Ford of Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans said at the 2006 Symposium on Southern Resident Killer Whales, a joint effort of his agency and the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service.

Between 1996 and 2001, Ford said, sharp drops in the region's chinook runs correlated with declines in the northern and southern resident orca populations, as the inland killer whales of Canada and the United States are called.

Orca mortality was 300 percent higher than expected, Ford said, and difficult to link to other known stressors.

"It was a bit of a surprise to us," he said.

Both the U.S. and Canadian orca populations have been declared endangered.

All Over Again
Johnny Cash

Every time I look at you I fall in love, all over again
Every time I think of you it all begins, all over again

One little dream at night and I can dream all day
It only takes a memory to thrill me
One little kiss from you and I just fly away
Pour me out your love until you fill me

I wanna fall in love beginning from the start, all over again
Show me how you stole away my heart, all over again

One little dream at night and I can dream all day
It only takes a memory to thrill me
One little kiss from you and I just fly away
Pour me out your love until you fill me

I wanna fall in love beginning from the start, all over again
Show me how you stole away my heart, all over again

All over again, All over again, All over again, All over again
All Over Again


If I Were A Carpenter
Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash: If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady,
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
June Carter: If you were a carpenter,
And I were a lady,
I'd marry you anyway.
I'd have your baby.

Johnny:If a tinker was my trade,
Would I still find you?
June: I'd be carryin' the pots you made,
Followin' behind you.

Together: Save your love through loneliness,
Save your love though sorrow,
Johnny: I'd give you my onliness,
Together: Give me your tomorrow.

Johnny:If I were a miller
At a mill wheel grinding,
Would you miss your colored blouse,
And your soft shoes shining?
June: If you were a miller,
At mill wheel grinding,
I'd not miss my color blouse
And my soft shoes shining.

Together: Save your love through loneliness,
Save your love though sorrow,
Johnny: I'd give you my onliness,
Together: Give me your tomorrow.

Johnny: If I worked my hands in wood,
Would you still love me?
June: I'd answer you, "Yes I would."
Johnny: And would you not be above me?

Johnny:If I were a carpenter,
And you were a lady,
June:I'd marry you anyway, I'd have your baby.

Together: Save your love through loneliness,
Save your love though sorrow,
Johnny: I'd give you my onliness,
Together: Give me your tomorrow.


A Little At A Time
Johnny Cash

Stop lovin' me, a little at a time
Let me lose you, a little at a time
Walk away slow like you don't want to go
Leave me, a little at a time

For my benefit, try to cry a little bit
For old times sake, give me a slow heartbreak
I'll put a fight, but I'll be alright
If you stop lovin' me, a little at a time

Hurt me, a little at a time
Turn me a way, a little at a time
Walk away slow like you don't want to go
Leave me, a little at a time

For my benefit, try to cry a little bit
For old times sake, give me a slow heartbreak
I'll put a fight, but I'll be alright
If you stop lovin' me, a little at a time


While I've Got It On My Mind
Johnny Cash

Layin' round home with the ball game on
Feelin' fairly fine
Blackberry jam is cookin in the pan
And the jam and the cook is mine

I like the honey from, my hives at home
And berries from my own vine
And I like to get my lovin'
While I got it on my mind

My dog is a sleep at my bare feet
It's a good day for layin' around
Just her and me, and saturday
Everybody's gone to town

We've been workin' hard, and she get's tired
And that put's me in a bind
'Cause I like to get my lovin'
While I got it on my mind

The she looks at me, and I can see that old familiar look
And the jam is sweet, while she lowers the heat, to give it time to cook
Then I lock the door, and across the floor,comes a queen of womankind
Yeah, I like to get my lovin, while I got it on my mind

Now boys don't you be a ramblin' free, and leavin the girls to cry
'Cause the nights are cold, and there ain't no gold, that'll ever satisfy
And there ain't no joy, that'll come to you boy, like the kind I've known at times
When I go right on in there and love her, while I got it on my mind

Yeah, I like to get my lovin, while I got it on my mind

ah, dj, I have it all figured out now, Canada. It's the olive bread that makes you remember all those Johnny Cash songs. I really didn't know that he did" If I were a Carpenter".

Goodnight my friends, and here is my song:


- Hermans Hermits Lyrics - Theres A Kind Of Hush All Over The World Lyrics

There's a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world you can hear the sounds of lovers in love
You know what I mean
Just the two of us and nobody else in sight
There's nobody else and I'm feeling good just holding you tight

So listen very carefully
Closer now and you will see what I mean
It isn't a dream
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
I love you forever and ever

There's a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world you can hear the sounds of lovers in love
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la

So listen very carefully
Closer now and you will see what I mean
It isn't a dream
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
I love you forever and ever

There's a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world people just like us are fallin' in love
Yeah, they're fallin' in love
Hush, they're fallin' in love
Hush

From Letty with love

Good Golly Miss Molly (Robert Blackwell, John Marascalco) - Little Richard

Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball,
Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball,
When you're rockin' and a rollin', can't hear your mama call.

From the early early mornin' to the early early night,
When I caught miss Molly rockin' at the house of blue light,
Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball,
When you're rockin' and a rollin', can't hear your mama call.

Mama, papa told me 'Son, you better watch yourself',
If they knew about miss Molly, have to watch my pa myself,
Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball,
When you're rockin' and a rollin', can't hear your mama call.

Goin' to the corner gonna buy a diamond ring,
When she hugged me and kissed me, made me ting-a-ling-a-ling,
Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball,
When you're rockin' and a rollin', can't hear your mama call.

Good morning, WA2K listeners and contributors. Let's open up the blinds and let some Dixie sunshine in. <smile>

edgar, I have always gotten a kick out of Little Richard, Texas, and that song made me really smile, as does Long Tall Sally.

Well, folks, I finally realized that Rubber Ball and Red Rubber Ball are two different songs entirely. Ah, the wonders of discovery.

This version by The Seekers

Seekers
» Red Rubber Ball

I should've known you'd bid me farewell;
There's a lesson to be learned from this, and I learned it very well.
Now I know you're not the only starfish in the sea:
If I never hear your name again, it's all the same to me.
Chorus:
And I think it's gonna be all right;
Yeh, the worst is over now;
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball.
You never cared for secrets I'd confide;
To you I'm just an ornament, somethin' for your pride.
Always runnin', never carin', that's the life you live.
Stolen moments of your time were all you had to give.
(Chorus)
The story's in the past, with nothin' to recall;
I've got my life to live, and I don't need you at all.
The rollercoaster ride we took is nearly at an end;
I bought my ticket with my tears; that's all I'm gonna spend.
(Chorus twice)
Whoa, whoa, it's bouncin', and it's shinin' like a red rubber ball.

here's another kind of ball from Shel Silverstein:

LEAD-IN: There's gonna be a Freakers Ball,
Yes, yes, tonight at the Freakers Hall,
Yeah and you know that you're invited,
One and all.

C'mon babies… grease your lips…
Put on your hats, and swing your hips.
Don't forget to bring your whips.
We're goin' to the Freakers Ball.

Blow your whistle…bang your gong --
Roll up somethin' to take along.
Feels so good… it must be wrong -
Freakin' at the Freakers Ball.

All the fags and dikes, they're boogyin' together --
Leather freaks dressed in all kinds of leather.
The greatest of the Sadists and the Masochists, too,
Screamin' "Please hit me" and "I'll hit you".

F.B.I. dancin' with the junkies -
All the Straights swingin' with the Funkies
'Cross the floor and up the wall
Freakin' at the Freakers Ball.

Everybody is lovin' each other --
Brother with sister… son with mother.
Smear my body up with butter,
And take me to the Freakers Ball.

So pass that roach and pour the wine --
I'll kiss yours and you'll kiss mine.
I'm gonna boogie til I go blind --
Freakin' at the Freakers Ball.

Black ones, white ones, yellow and red ones --
Necropheliacs lookin' for dead ones.
The greatest of the Sadists and the Masochists, too --
Screaming' "Please hit me" and "I'll hit you".

Everybody ballin' in batches --
Pyromaniacs strikin' matches.
I'm gonna itch me where it scratches --
Freakin' at the Freakers Ball, y'all
Freakin' at the Freakers Ball.
