Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today's theme is prompted by my state of mind for the past couple of weeks.....
BONUS #1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTsvs-pAGDc - Dazed and Confused - Jake Holmes, June 1967 (no video)
BONUS #2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lkb1R_yif9I - Dazed and Confused - Led Zeppelin, Supershow, 1969
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dazed_and_Confused_%28song%29:
"Dazed and Confused" is a song originally written
and performed by
Jake Holmes. It was covered by
the Yardbirds, and later reworked by
Led Zeppelin who hold a separate copyright on the song.[1] Singer-songwriter Jake Holmes wrote and recorded "Dazed and Confused" for his debut solo album "The Above Ground Sound" of Jake Holmes, released in June 1967. Like the other tracks on the album, the song does not include any drums. It was recorded entirely with the trio of Holmes on guitar, keyboard and vocals, Ted Irwin on guitar and Rick Randle on bass.[2][3] The song has been incorrectly labelled as a tale about a bad acid trip. Holmes himself has confirmed that this is not the case. In 2001 he gave an interview to Shindig! magazine and said this about "Dazed and Confused":
In June 2010, Jake Holmes sued Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page for copyright infringement, claiming to have written and recorded "Dazed and Confused" two years before it appeared on Led Zeppelin's debut album. In court documents Holmes cited a 1967 copyright registration for "Dazed and Confused" which was renewed in 1995.[5] This court case (Case No. CV10-4789-DMG-PJW) was "dismissed with prejudice", presumably because the parties settled out of court—in January 2012.[6] ..... The song is included in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. |

From Marc
(Jody) Glazer ('65) of GA - 02/02/14 - "NNHS65":
Hi Carol. I check your blog
regularly. Keeps me in touch with my “roots”. I appreciate your efforts. I have a request. Respectfully: I appreciate your effort to remember those of us who served in Vietnam. Could you please use something other than the VC execution photo . That was an act committed by a Vietnamese national. Not an American serviceman. Personally, I find that photo offensive to all of us as a nation and demeans the service of all who sacrificed in Vietnam. I mean you no offense or criticism because I know you are a patriot truly. Witness your father’s heroic service in WWII. Your son's service today. Paul’s prior service. Perhaps instead, you could use some information about those classmates of ours who died in Vietnam or as a result of service in Vietnam.
Thank you so much for your note, Marc!
I made this page years on 06/09/04 at the
suggestion of
http://www.nnhs65.com/VA-Vietnam-KIA.html
Generally I learned of war
experiences years after they happened. My cousin
Prior to his retirement,
Several people have shared their stories with me, but generally they were confidential. Many expressed their oft repeated feelings of wondering why their lives were spared when so many of their friends and brothers lost theirs.
I would very much like to
hear from others, whether relating their own experiences, or of those who
lost their lives. |

Viet Nam Pilot Down..... We appreciate the eloquence of the speaker, the poignant message, and the dedication true Patriotic Americans can appreciate. This is a compelling story of leadership, and of loyalty to military comrades. That feeling you will have while listening, is a stirring of patriotism and pride. http://www.youtube.com/embed/QvRcP4go-eg?feature=player_embedded

BONUS
VALENTINE CROCHET PATTERN (Wal, you wouldn't want a confusing pattern, would
ja?
):
http://www.redheart.com/free-patterns/tree-hearts - Linda Cyr's Tree Hearts - This was one of my favorite, most adaptable patterns from a while back; I also featured it here: | ||
![]() |
It's quite pretty made with worsted
weight yarn, but when worked with two strands of #10 crochet thread held
together using a size B crochet hook, it creates a very elegant heart -
and as suitable for Valentine's Day as for Christmas!
The design works up quickly. It takes me about an hour a heart - and I am a super-slow crocheter (despite 56 years of practice)! I used 1/4" white ribbon to trim these smaller versions, which are about 2'' high and 3" wide. |
