and the follow-ons.


When I wsa a kid, I had a record titled "CQ Serenade". It was an actual
song, put together by a ham or two in the music business. I guess it was
kind of big band, but it actually incorporated CW. I can't remember if
they lyrics referenced amateur radio or not.

I can't even remember how I got the record, I think someone had a bunch
of them from when the record was "hot".


An all-time favourite album for me is "Radio KAOS" by Roger Waters, which
has morse peppered throughout, as well as being the base of the cover art.
IIRC, at least some of the morse is a "secret" hidden verse for the closing
track "The Tide Is Turning". Give the record a spin on YouTube, it's
cracking stuff (although his later album, "Amused To Death", is much better
and the equal of anything he made with Pink Floyd, including Dark Side Of
The Moon).
