Blue Moon

like dirty beach sand with lots of footprints in it."

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
We now have reports from four of my little chickadees for another song for our April themes, and we may yet return to them. There are certainly plenty available on YouTube; we just haven't located appropriate midi files yet to be able to accomplish everything at once Stay tuned for further developments.
Thanks again, Sweetie-Pies!
Meanwhile, today's song, located for us by
Our Wizard of Wonderment,
Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA, was
originally used here three years ago today:

REQUEST #1:
Does anyone know how to contact
Billy Carmines (Hampton HS -
'65) (I think). We've been searching for him for several years
now with no success, and we really most anxiously would like to find him.
Thanks!
From Anonymous Inquirer - 04/09/08:
RESPONSES:
From Gloria Woolard Price (Hampton HS - '65) of FL
- 04/09/08, 3:44 PM:
Billy Carmines, but as
of 2003, his address was P. O. Box 880, Dillwyn, VA 23936 (never heard of
it), and phone 804-983-5454. Good luck!From Anonymous Inquirer - 04/09/08, 5:03 PM:
From Tom Norris (Hampton HS -'73) of VA - 04/09/08, 6:28 PM:
Carol ... address for Billy
Carmines (HHS-65) ... from the 2003 Alumni Directory:
PO Box 880
Dillwyn VA 23936
804-983-5454

Hope this helps ... take care ...
Babe
From Domi O'Brien ('64) of NH - 04/09/08, 7:22 PM:
While I don't find any Billy Carmines when I use Zabasearch, I find plenty of William Carmines-- 23 listings in Virginia, and dozens around the country. Some of these are obviously too young, but some have no birth years given-- and some are right in the Tidewater area....
(LOTSA addresses attached!)
Thanks so much to all
who responded!
The search continues, but perhaps
will end well - and soon!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
REQUEST #2:

04/09/08 - "Shameless Self Promotion":
Carol, as the subject line implies, this is shameless, but it is nice to be written about for something you really care(d) about and was a big part of your life for 11 years.
The article, and multimedia video that can be clicked on at page 2, tell the story of the demise of Polaroid photography, something dear to my heart. The pictures in the video clip are me, but the voice belongs to one of the Beverly Hillbillies!
P.S. Here is my challenge: I will attend the October reunion
if
Louis (Fuzzy) Turner ('63 - of NC) does!

WOWZERONI-YOWZERONI!!! The article and video are great, but the disappearance of the Polaroid film - and thus your whole art form - is very sad and all but incomprehensible! Thanks for sharing this with us, Jerry.
My condolences upon your loss.

Blue Moon
Words by Lorenz Hart
Music by Richard Rodgers
(Marcels, 1961)
Blue Moon,
You saw me standing alone,
Without a dream in my heart,
Without a love of my own.
Blue Moon,
You knew just what I was there for,
You heard me saying a pray'r for....
Someone I really could care for,
And then there suddenly appeared before me,
The only one my arms will ever hold,
I heard somebody whisper, "Please adore me",
And when I looked the moon had turned to gold!
Blue Moon,
Now I'm no longer alone,
Without a dream in my heart,
Without a love of my own.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
