“I'm selfish, impatient, and a little

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today's theme
returns to us again at the suggestion of
Charles Schneider ('60) of TX
on
10/20/15
"See if you can use these for one of your newsletters."
BONUS - Handle with Care - The Traveling Wilburys, Vol. 1
Here
ya go, Charles - thanks again!
From
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handle_with_Care_%28song%29: The single reached #45 on the
Billboard Hot 100 chart, #2 on the Billboard
Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, #21 on the
UK singles chart[2]
and #3 on the
ARIA Chart.[3] The song received a highly positive retrospective review from
Allmusic journalist Matthew Greenwald, who described the song as
"one of the most memorable records of the 1980s." Greenwald wrote:
"Musically, the song is built around a descending, folk-rock chord
pattern and some fine major-key chorus movements. George Harrison
handles the verses, and there are also two excellent bridges featuring
Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan. Orbison's section capitalizes on his awesome,
operatic vocal pipes, and the effect is wonderful."[4]
The opening chords are reminiscent of Jeff Lynne's "10538 Overture", the
ELO single from 1972 and Paul Weller's, "The Changing Man". The song was originally intended as the B-side of Harrison's "This
Is Love". Harrison had not yet written a song for the B-side when an
impromptu gathering of the musicians who became the Wilburys turned into
an informal songwriting and jam session. Casting about for a song idea
while relaxing in a garden near Bob Dylan's recording studio, Harrison
was inspired when he noticed a box in Dylan's garage that was labelled
"Handle with Care". The box also inspired the opening line: "been beat
up and battered around." The complete song quickly followed, with
different members of the gathering contributing various lines. The group
moved to a recording studio and quickly laid down the basic tracks which
were later polished by eventual Wilburys producer Jeff Lynne. The song
depicts a conversation between a man and his new found love wherein he
is recounting life's experiences which have affected him, contributed to
his loneliness, and his plea to his love to "handle me with care"
because of all the things he had been through. Harrison's record company decided that the song was too good to be
released as "filler." Encouraged by this response and the enjoyable
experience of recording together, the group re-convened to record the
first Wilburys album, which featured "Handle With Care" as the lead
track. The music video for the song features all the group members
performing the song in an abandoned building while standing around an
old-fashioned boom microphone, with drummer
Jim Keltner in the background. There are brief cutaways to show
still photos of the singers as children or young teens. The song was the last release and video for group member
Roy Orbison prior to his death on December 6, 1988...
Happy Birthday this week to:

BONUS NOVEMBER DECORATING IDEA:
Thanksgiving Décor Ideas In Dramatic Purple - "Purple is a
spectacular color, and some of its dark shades can be really cozy for
fall décor. A total purple table setting would be abundant but if you
combine purple with burgundy, gold, chocolate, copper and orange –
you’ll get a beautiful Thanksgiving table setting. There are so many
various shades to choose from: from light pale purples to deeper shades.
Find a purple table runner, napkins, tablecloth and some purple flowers
for the centerpiece. Or maybe you’ll mix purple tableware with napkins
of different shade. Purple veggies, flowers and candles would add a
rustic feeling and highlight that it’s Thanksgiving. Enjoy some pretty
purple décor ideas below and Happy Thanksgiving! " |
BONUS CROCHET PATTERNS (Sorry; not theme-related):

FINALLY:
| A woman went to her dentist to have her
dentures adjusted for the fifth time. She said they still didn’t fit.
“Well,” said the dentist, “I’ll do it again
this time, but no more. There’s no reason why these shouldn’t fit your
mouth easily.” |
