Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today's Newsletter is being revisited from exactly three years ago today:
http://nnhs65.com/07-17-07-NNHS-See-You-in-September.html
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRGLjzFHa40 - See You in September - The Tempos, 1959
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/See_You_In_September:
"See You in September" is a song written by Sid Wayne and Sherman Edwards in 1959 which was a Top 30 hit that summer as first recorded by the Tempos; when remade by the Happenings in 1966 the song reached #3.[1]
Sid Wayne would recall the song's inception: "I was in the habit of going from my home on Long Island every day to Brill Building, on Tin Pan Alley [to] meet with different songwriters there. We'd eat at Jack Dempsey's or The Turf Restaurant and then we'd go up to one of the publishers' offices and work in the piano room. We'd sit around saying to each other, 'What do you want to write today? A hit or a standard?'" At 11 a.m. on a Friday in June 1959 Wayne thus met up with Sherman Edwards: "he said, 'What do you want to write?' 'I'd like to write a song called See You in September,"' I said. We talked it back and forth and I think I may have contributed part of the opening music, but with Sherman it didn't matter, because he could throw me back half the lyric - that's how he worked. I think probably by two in the afternoon we got the song finished. It needed to be written; it was like boiling inside of us."
By 4:30 p.m. that day Wayne and Edwards had reworked their composition, simplifying it so as to appeal to the teen demographic, and proceeded to make the rounds of publishers to pitch the song which, after one rejection, met with an enthusiastic reception from Jack Gold, owner of the local Paris label, who by 8 p.m. had telephoned the Tempos1 in their hometown of Pittsburgh. The group had been flown in to New York City by the next day: Saturday. Sid Wayne - ""By Monday the record was cut [with the Billy Mure orchestra], test pressings were Thursday, and by Friday the song was played on WNEW in New York. The thing took off like wildfire....Five hundred dollars to split between the two of us [ie. Wayne & Edwards]...was a damn good week's pay in 1961." [1]

of the smaller shelters. The facility we're using this time is a new addition
and will give us lots of flexibility to meet and reminisce. The cost of this

07/16/10 - "A new member":
I have enjoyed your news letter and I was telling Mark Wilson (68) of NC about it. I was trying to figure out how to get the news letter to him. To this point I have not been able to get it to him. I was wondering if you would be kind enough to put him on your mailing list. He is really interested in being added to your mailing list. His e mail address is _______________.
Certainly,
Bob, thanks!
Only - I thought Mark was living in
Virginia, and that he was already on our mailing list, but I cannot find any
email addy for him, let alone the one you supplied, so I suppose it's true what
we've all long suspected. I'm quite insane.
So anyway.....
Welcome (or welcome back!), Mark!

From Joan
Lauterbach Krause ('60) of VA - 07/16/10 - "Bees":
Hi Carol.
Please tell
Shari
she needs to get a ‘professional’ involved ASAP. We saw bees going
into a flower bed and knew they were probably ‘ground bees’. When
the exterminator dealt with the problem he dug up a hive that was
bigger than a large beach ball, at least 12 inches across. If Shari
is allergic this should not be played with. National charged me
about $100, but I have a quarterly flea contract with them because
of our house pets. So the fee might be a little more. Just some
more info for her.
Joan Krause
YOWZERONI!
Thank you so much, Joan!
I passed this information on to
Shari!

See You in September
Written by Sid Wayne (1922-91) and Sherman Edwards (04 Apr 1919 - 30 Mar 1981)
Recorded by The Tempos, 1959; Recorded by
the Happenings,
1966
I'll be alone each and every night
While you're away, don't forget to write
Bye-bye, so long, farewell
Bye-bye, so long
See you in September
See you when the summer's through
Here we are (bye, baby, goodbye)
Saying goodbye at the station (bye, baby, goodbye)
Summer vacation (bye, baby bye, baby)
Is taking you away (bye, baby, goodbye)
Have a good time but remember
There is danger in the summer moon above
Will I see you in September,
Or lose you to a summer love?
(counting the days 'til I'll be with you)
(counting the hours and the minutes, too)
Bye, baby, goodbye
Bye, baby, goodbye
Bye, baby, goodbye (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
Bye, baby, goodbye (bye-bye, so long)
Have a good time but remember
There is danger in the summer moon above
Will I see you in September,
Or lose you to a summer love?
(I'll be alone each and every night)
(While you're away, don't forget to write)
See you (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
In September (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
I'm hopin' I'll
See you (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
In September (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
Well, maybe I'll
See you (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
In September (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
