Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
For the second time this week, there is no midi attached to today's Newsletter - and you shall shortly see why that is.
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwCGW58DTE4 - At the Hop - Danny & the Juniors
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_the_Hop:
"At the Hop" is a hit rock 'n' roll song written by Arthur Singer, John Medora and David White and originally released by Danny & the Juniors.[2] The song was released in the fall of 1957, and reached number one on the US charts on January 6, 1958, thus becoming one of the top-selling singles of 1958.[3]. "At the Hop" also hit number one on the R&B Best Sellers list[4].
The song became more prominent after it was performed by rock and roll revival act Sha Na Na at the 1969 Woodstock Festival and featured in the 1973 coming-of-age teen drama American Graffiti.
The song was written by White, Medora and Singer in 1957, when Danny & the Juniors were still called The Juvenairs. Initially called "Do the Bop", the song was heard by Dick Clark, who suggested they change its name. After performing the song on Clark's show American Bandstand, it gained popularity and went to the top of the US charts, remaining at number one for five weeks.[5]
The song describes the scene at a record hop, particularly the dances being performed and the interaction with the disc jockey host...

"You may be whatever you resolve to be" General Thomas 'Stonewall' Jackson OH, WOW! This photograph so reminds me of your final regular season football game as a high school senior. They brought all you fellas out on the field with their parents. As your names were read, you each gave your mother a single long-stemmed red rose. Paul and I were so proud of you we were about to pop - and I looked over at you next to me and you were wearing this identical expression on your face. I was aghast, and whispered, "Why are you so mad?!?" You said (between clenched teeth and unmoving lips), "I'm not mad. This is football." It must be the Army,
too. We're still proud. Thanks so much, Brent!

From My Husband, Paul Harty (Bardolph HS, IL - '61) of IL -
01/28/11 - "E-mail from God...":
| One day God was
looking down at earth and saw all of the rascally behavior that was
going on. So He called one of His angels and sent the angel to earth for
a time. When he returned, he told God, "Yes, it is bad on earth; 95% are misbehaving and only 5% are not." God thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I had better send down a second angel to get another opinion." So God called another angel and sent him to earth for a time. When the angel returned he went to God and said, "Yes, it's true. The earth is in decline; 95% are misbehaving, but 5% are being good.' God was not pleased. So He decided to e-mail the 5% who were good, because he wanted to encourage them, and give them a little something to help them keep going. Do you know what the e-mail said?  Okay, I was just wondering, because I didn't get one either.
WILD
GIGGLES! Thanks,

FINALLY:
From Will and Guy's Joke of the Day - 01/28/11:
| Research indicates that Genius cannot exist without mental disorder.
George Orwell and Lewis Carroll suffered autism, while Mozart and Hans
Christian Andersen almost certainly suffered from Asperger's syndrome.
Those suffering from Asperger's syndrome often have artistic
creativity, as well as mathematical genius. ============================== * A Psychiatric Joke a) Neurotics build castles in the air. b) Psychotics live in them. c) Psychiatrists are the people who collect the rent. |

Bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah. bah-bah-bah-bah, at the hop!
Well, you can rock it you can roll it
You can stop and you can stroll it at the hop
When the record starts spinnin'
You *chalypso* when you chicken at the hop
Do the dance sensation that is sweepin' the nation at the hop
Ah, let's go to the hop
Let's go to the hop, (oh baby)
Let's go to the hop, (oh baby)
Let's go to the hop
Come on, let's go to the hop
Well, you can swing it you can groove it
You can really start to move it at the hop
Where the jockey is the smoothest
And the music is the coolest at the hop
All the cats and chicks can get their kicks at the hop
Let's go!
Let's go to the hop
Let's go to the hop, (oh baby)
