The Wayward Wind

“A great wind is blowing, and that gives you
either imagination or a headache.”

- Catherine II, Queen of Russia
(21 Apr 1729 - 06 Nov 1796)

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,

I remember sitting by our Magnavox radio and singing along with Gogi to this when I was a little girl. Was I really only nine years old??

BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SaeWh3h8Fg - The Wayward Wind - Gogi Grant, 1956

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wayward_Wind:

"The Wayward Wind" is a country song written by Stan Lebowsky and Herb Newman.

In 1956 versions were recorded by Gogi Grant, Tex Ritter, and Jimmy Young, of which Grant's was the biggest seller in the United States and Ritter's in the United Kingdom. The song reached #1 on the Cash Box chart, which combined all recorded versions, but must have got most of that popularity from the Gogi Grant version, which reached #1 on the Billboard chart on its own. The song is one of only two songs that were major hits for Grant, the other being "Suddenly There's a Valley".

In 1961 Gogi Grant's recording was reissued and reached Billboard #50 and Cash Box #78. That same year, Patsy Cline made a recording, which did not chart.

In 1963 a new recording was made by Frank Ifield, which reached #1 on the UK charts.

The song made the Billboard country chart in the 1980s in a version by Sylvia, with accompaniment by James Galway.

From Ed Nichols ('62) of Northern VA - 08/17/13:

Hi Carol,
... Thanks for being our eyes and ears to the past as well as the future. Hope you and       Paul ( Harty - Bardolph HS, IL - '61 - of NC) are doing OK as well as your whole family. The number of Typhoon is thinning faster and faster it seems but, boy, what a ride.

Fondly, Ed Nichols

   OOH! Thank you so much, Eddie Darlin'! We three have been sorta sickly this week; also I think the initial shock of the events of the last month has evolved into another phase which is perhaps more disturbing than the original "auto-pilot" mode, but we're trying to cope with that as well as we can.....

From Domi O'Brien ('64) of NH - 08/17/13 - "for your love":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2LSSgQMc2E - The Yardbirds
   OH, WOW! A totally different song with the same title! (I thought that was a no-no!?!) Thanks, Domi!

   From My Friend, Evelyn Dudzinski Griffis (Mars Hill HS, PA - '75) of NY - 08/17/13 - "Never Waste Cut Roses":

This is crazy crazy !! Never waste cut roses.

Did you know that you can grow roses from cuttings?

Simply cut healthy stems, place them in large potatoes, and them bury them 3-4 inches deep in a healthy soil mixture of peat moss and top soil. The potatoes keep the stems moist and help develop the root systems. It's a perfectly simple way to multiply your rose garden without spending lots of $$$.
   WHAT?!? I always heard that this was impossible! Thanks so much, Evelyn! I will definitely be giving this a try!

From My Friend, Alice, of NV - 08/17/13 - "Corn on the Cob":

How did I NOT know this? Never boil corn again!

Want to know the easiest way to cook corn on the cob? Throw it in the oven at 350° for 25-30 minutes. That’s it. Leave the husk on, it will trap in the moisture, leaving you with juicy, tender corn. The husk and silk will peel away easily once it’s cooked. Cut off the large end and it slides right out with no silk.
   WOWZERS! I'd heard this before but forgotten it! Thank you, Alice!

From Judy Phillips Allen ('66) of VA - 07/27/13 - " 'I'm NOT Crazy!' (These are hilarious!) (#22 in a series of 25)":

I'm NOT Crazy!
   Thanks, Dearest Judy!

      From My Husband, Paul Harty (Bardolph HS, IL - '61) of NC - 08/16/13 - "I Like These" (#2 in a Series of 7):

Thanks, Dools!

FINALLY:

From www.ajokeaday.com - 08/17/13:

General Amalgamated Industries, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hired a new CEO. The new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers. On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning against a wall. The room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know that he meant business. He asked the guy, "How much money do you make a week?"
A little surprised, the young man looked at him and said, "I make $400 a week. Why?"

The CEO said, "Wait right here."

He walked back to his office, came back in two minutes, and handed the guy $1,600 in cash and said, "Here's four weeks' pay. Now GET OUT and don't come back." Feeling pretty good about himself, the CEO looked around the room and asked, "Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-ball did here?"

From across the room a voice said, "Pizza delivery guy from Domino's."

The Wayward Wind
Written by Stanley Lebowsky (26 Nov 1926 – 19 Oct 1986) and Herb Newman

Recorded by Gogi Grant (born Myrtle Audrey Arinsberg, 20 Sept 1924), 1956

The wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind

In a lonely shack by a railroad track
He spent his younger days
And I guess the sound of the outward-bound
Made him a slave to his wand'rin ways

And the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind

Oh, I met him there in a border town
He vowed we'd never part
Though he tried his best to settle down
I'm now alone with a broken heart

And the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind

The next of kin to the wayward wind
