- NNHS Newsletter - Remember Then
“Come back to me in dreams; that I may give
- Christina
Rossetti |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
How did we miss this golden oldie for all these years??
BONUS #1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ-bdlPqJME - Remember Then - Larry Chance and the Earls, 1962
BONUS #2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1IrOUmT6Oo - Remember Then - Larry Chance and the Earls, more recently...
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Chance_and_the_Earls:
Larry Chance and the Earls were a popular recording group from the 1960s formed in The Bronx, New York. In 1962, their single "Remember Then" was a hit, and "Life Is But a Dream," "Never" and "I Believe" also charted. As the oldies revival scene started a strong run in the early 1970s and 1980s, the Earls became one of the most requested groups in the doo-wop genre. They are still actively performing and remain on the oldies circuit...
The Earls are one of the New York City doo-wop success stories. Discovered singing on the street corner in front of subway station, the Earls took the original black doo-wop street corner harmony sound, and refined and expanded it for new audiences.
Larry Chance was the driving force behind the group's formation and success. Larry grew up in Philadelphia and attended high school with Chubby Checker, Frankie Avalon, and Danny Rapp of Danny and the Juniors. But it was not until 1957 that he moved with his parents to the Bronx after high school, that his musical career took off...

http://www.civilwarinteractive.com/This%20Day/thisday0105.htm January 05, 1860 - Jefferson Davis came out in favor of secession for the first time. January 05, 1861 - In the nation's capital, senators from seven Southern states (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas) met, afterwards advising secession for their states. January 05, 1861 - Alabama further committed herself to the Southern course by seizing Forts Morgan and Gaines in order to defend Mobile. January 05, 1861 - At the last minute General Winfield Scott substituted the Star of the West, a New York based merchant marine vessel for the Brooklyn, a heavily armed and reinforced sloop ordered to sail to Fort Sumter to resupply the federal outpost. The Brooklyn, however, was to travel to Fort Sumter with the Star of the West. January 05, 1862 - The operations around Hancock, Maryland continued unabated as Confederate troops tried to rout the Federals who had retreated to this position. The Confederate batteries were located at positions along the Potomac River. January 05, 1863 - Following two days of off and on skirmishing around Jonesville, Confederates surround the Union force and take 200 prisoners after a pitched battle. January 05, 1865 - President Lincoln issued a pass through Union lines to James W. Singleton. Singleton, like several others, hoped that through unofficial channels he may be able to instigate peace negotiations between the two governments to bring an end to the fighting. Although Lincoln doubted that a peace could be negotiated through the auspices of the Confederate government consistent with the North's demand for reunion, he did not interfere with Singleton's mission and, to the extent of issuing the safe conduct pass, condoned the unofficial peace-feeler. |
From Adrian Whitcomb ('67) of VA - 01/04/11 - "Songwriters' Night @ TFFM
Coffeehouse 7:00 PM Friday 1/28/11":
January is here again and
several of my fellow Songwriters and I will perform some of our songs at
the TFFM (Tidewater Friends of Folk Music) Coffeehouse. Details are at
http://www.tffm.org/coffeehouse.html Please note that there is a change of location and time from last year. We hope to see you at 7:00 PM on Friday January 28th, at the Wesley United Methodist Church, 2510 N. Armistead Avenue at Tide Mill Lane. As I wrote last year, my songs generally tie in with what's been happening in my life at the time and this has been another eventful year! Will I do a new Fort Monroe song? Please come and find out! In addition to the serious subjects, I always like to do at least one song that’s just for fun and I may even write something new between now and the 28th. My fellow songwriters each has his or her own style and I hope that you will plan to stay for the entire evening... Thanks to all of you who have come to our performances in the past and those who take the time to come this year. It means a lot to us. Adrian
COOL
BEANS!! Thanks,
Adrian!

Color Your Mood Research confirms that changing your mood may be as simple as changing the colors around you. Clothing, room decors, even a small colors object like accessories or a handbag will give you benefits. For example: Blue. Any shade can have a calming effect and creates feeling of serenity. Green. Brings balance to your mind and smoothes out your hectic day-to-day routine. Orange. Makes you feel more optimistic. A pick-me-up when you’re sluggish. Red. Increases your energy level and stimulates your heart rate. Purple. Shades of lilac and violet generate creativity oooooooooooooooooooooooooo Ecology Tips: Conserve and Preserve Dress warm to use less heat. Dress cool to use less air conditioning. Close doors and windows tight, so heat or ac does not seep out. Do not leave the refrigerator door open; decide what you want to eat before you open it! Turn of lights and appliances right after you finish with them. Take shorter showers or take baths instead of showers (you'll use less water) ~Peter Prestipino oooooooooooooooooooooooooo Waterloo A very thirsty man goes into a bar. As he's sitting down, he hears the man next to him tell the bartender, "I'll have another waterloo." The bartender gives the fellow a tall, well-iced drink, then asks the newcomer what he would like to drink. Thinking the other man's drink may be a specialty of the house, he says, "I'll have a waterloo, too." The bartender gives him the tall, well-iced drink, and the customer takes a big drink. "Hey," he says, "this isn't any good. It tastes just like water!" The man next to him looks at the bartender and says, "Well, it is water. Right, Lou?" oooooooooooooooooooooooooo A Story Of Two Boys It has been said that
a simple smile can change a person’s life. It has been said that a
single kind word can spread throughout the whole world and change
history. I was thinking of these sayings recently when I remembered a
story I had once heard about two boys.
Thank you so much,
Shari!
