Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I think we could all use a little magic in our lives right about now.....
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul041CSNJto - This Magic Moment - The Drifters, 1960
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Magic_Moment:
| "This Magic Moment" is a song composed by lyricist
Doc
Pomus and pianist
Mort Shuman. It is one of their best-known songs.[2]
It was recorded first by
Ben E. King and
the Drifters[1]
and made No. 16 on the
Billboard Hot 100 during 1960. The version by
Jay and the Americans in 1969 went to No. 6, earning
gold record status. The song is used in
David M. Evans' film
The Sandlot and was also featured in David Chase's television
show
The Sopranos in the episode "Soprano
Home Movies". The session musicians Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller
hired to play on this record include Phil Bodner on sax, Ernie Hayes on
piano, Bucky Pizzarelli and George Barnes on guitar, George Duvivier on
bass, and Shep Sheppard on drums. Lou Reed's version, from a Doc Pomus tribute album, Till the Night is Gone, featured in David Lynch's film Lost Highway. It was also covered by horror punk music band the Misfits for the album Project 1950 and by indie rock band the Mountain Goats for their first cassette release Taboo VI: The Homecoming. |

From My Friend, Susan, of NC - 01/25/15:
| “Patience
means active waiting and enduring. It means staying with something and
doing all that we can—working, hoping, and exercising faith; bearing
hardship with fortitude, even when the desires of our hearts are
delayed. Patience is not simply enduring; it is enduring well!”
- Dieter F. Uchtdorf(b. 06 Nov 1940) |
Thanks so
much, Susan!

| On the morning of her birthday, a woman
told her husband, “I just dreamed that you gave me a diamond
necklace. What do you think it means?” “Maybe you’ll find out tonight,” he said. That evening, the man came home with a small package and gave it to his wife. She ripped off the wrapping paper and found a book titled "The Meaning of Dreams." |
