Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I invariably get
sick on this day each year. I've no idea why this should be, but it's held true
for several years in a row now. This year it's even Friday, the 13th, yet I seem
to NOT be sick. Oh, I FEEL horrible for inexplicable reasons (unless you count
way overdoing it for three days in a row), and soon I shall crawl back into bed,
but I'm not sick! Or am I ?!? .....
BONUS - Fever - Peggy Lee, 1958
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fever_%28Little_Willie_John_song%29:
| "Fever" is a song written by Eddie Cooley and
Otis Blackwell, who used the
pseudonym John Davenport. It was originally recorded by
Little Willie John in 1956. It has been covered by numerous artists
from various musical genres, notably
Peggy
Lee,
Elvis Presley,
Ella Fitzgerald,
Usha Uthup,
Ray Charles,
Nancy Sinatra,
The
McCoys,
The Blues Band,
Boney
M.,
Amanda Lear,
La Lupe,
Madonna,
Fishtank Ensemble,
The Jam,
The
Cramps,
Wanda Jackson,
Bette Midler,[1]
Michael Bublé and
Suzi Quatro.[2] The idea for the song was presented to Otis Blackwell by an old friend, Eddie Cooley. Blackwell said: "Eddie Cooley was a friend of mine from New York and he called me up and said 'Man, I got an idea for a song called "Fever", but I can't finish it. I had to write it under another name because, at that time, I was still under contract to Joe Davis'."[3] Little Willie John reportedly disliked the song, but was persuaded to record it, on March 1, 1956, by King Records owner Syd Nathan and arranger and producer Henry Glover.[4] His version was released in April 1956 and became a double-sided hit along with the top-ten R&B song "Letter from My Darling". "Fever" reached number one for three weeks on the R&B Best Sellers chart. It also made the pop charts, peaking at number 24 on the Billboard chart.[5] In 1958, Peggy Lee recorded the first cover version of the song, which featured significantly rewritten lyrics composed by Lee herself without credit.[6] These uncopyrighted lyrics (including the verses beginning "Romeo loved Juliet," and "Captain Smith and Pocahontas") are now generally thought of as a standard part of the song, and have been included in most subsequent covers of "Fever". Only the first and the fourth verse of the Little Willie John version were used, because Lee thought that the second and the third original verses were too risqué for her musical tastes... |

From My Friend, Susan, of NC - 01/12/15:
| “So much in life
depends on our attitude. The way we choose to see things and respond to
others makes all the difference. To do the best we can and then to
choose to be happy about our circumstances, whatever they may be, can
bring peace and contentment.”

- 01/12/17:
| A man went to New York on a business trip.
When the trip was over, he took a cab to get to the airport. The cab
driver decided to have a little fun at the man's expense, so he asked,
"My mother had three kids, one was my brother, one was my sister, who
was the third?" The passenger had no idea. The driver replied, "The third one was ME!" The man went home to his wife and said to her, "Hey honey, here's a riddle for you. My mother had three kids, one was my brother, one was my sister, who was the third one?" His wife was stumped and said, "I don't know, who?" The man responded, "Believe it or not, some cab driver in New York." |
