“I don't ask for the meaning of the song of a bird or the rising of the sun
-
Pete Hamill |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today's theme
was once again suggested by
my #5 Son, Nathaniel
Harty (Hillsboro HS,
IL - '97) of IL, this time on
08/11/12 at 9:52 PM:
I mentioned this song in the car
the other day. It's by the guy who was in the group (Procol
Harum)
that wrote "Whiter Shade of
Pale." I hadn't heard this song before watching the film, "Roadie."

FINALLY: From http://www.ajokeaday.com - 08/12/12: |
The two inventors of the bungee rope went to Spain to test their invention. They built a 50-foot tower and, once completed, one of the guys stood on the edge of the platform and dived into the air with the rope tied to his feet. The other guy, standing up on the platform, waited until his friend returned up so that he could grab him. The first time his friend sprang up, he tried to grab him but missed and noticed that his head was swollen. The next time, he missed again and again there was a bruise on his head and face. This time, with much concern, he dived forward to get his partner, pulled him in and asked, "What happened? Is the cord too long?" His partner replied with his face all bloody, "What is piñata?" |

Long Misty Days
Written and recorded by Robin Trower (b. 09 Mar 1945), 1976
Long misty days
Told me they would change their ways
Once in a while will come my way
The thrill is gone
Misty days linger on and on
Once in a while is here to stay
We feed this fire
Lovers in a nursery rhyme
The words belong to you
And the melody was mine
Long misty days
Told me in a million ways
Once in a while will come my way
Oh how the moon
Shining in a lonely room
Weeping willow cry for me
Sing me a song
Simple as the day is long
Our loves are crying to be free
And take the sky
And tell me if the moon is blue
And if it's meant to be
That my melody was you
Long misty days
Told me in a million ways
Once in a while will come my way
Long misty days
Told me they would change the ways
Once in a while is here to stay
