Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
This was the only possible theme for today's Newsletter (as, if you don't
remember, you shall soon learn)!
BONUS - All My Loving - The Beatles
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_My_Loving:
| "All My Loving" is a song by
the Beatles, written by
Paul McCartney[2]
(credited to
Lennon–McCartney), from the 1963 album
With The Beatles. Though it was not released as a single in the
United Kingdom or the United States, it drew considerable radio airplay,
prompting EMI
to issue it as the title track of an
EP.[3]
The song was released as a single in Canada, where it became a number
one hit. The Canadian single was imported into the US in enough
quantities to peak at number 45 on the
Billboard Hot 100 in April 1964.[4][5]
It was the first song most Americans ever heard
the group sing as it was the opening song on their debut on Ed
Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964. According to journalist Bill Harry, McCartney thought of the lyrics whilst shaving,[6] though McCartney told biographer Barry Miles that he wrote them while on a tour bus.[2] He also said, "It was the first song I'd ever written the words first. I never wrote words first, it was always some kind of accompaniment. I've hardly ever done it since either."[2] The lyrics follow the "letter song" model as used on "P.S. I Love You",[3] the B-side of their first single. After arriving at the location of the gig, he wrote the music on a piano backstage.[2] McCartney originally envisioned it as a country & western song, and George Harrison added a Nashville-style guitar solo.[2][3] John Lennon's rhythm guitar track uses quickly strummed triplets similar to "Da Doo Ron Ron" by The Crystals, a song that was popular at the time.[3] McCartney added a walking bass line...[7] It has been hypothesized that the piece draws inspiration from the Dave Brubeck Quartet's 1959 song "Kathy's Waltz"...[9] "All My Loving" has been praised by multiple critics. Ian MacDonald said, "The innocence of early Sixties British pop is perfectly distilled in the eloquent simplicity of this number" and described the song as helping McCartney be seen as more of an equal to Lennon.[3] Richie Unterberger of Allmusic said it "was arguably the best LP-only track the Beatles did before 1964" and that if it had been released as a single in America it would have been a huge hit...[18] |

From the Daily Press - 02/08/14 - "Hampton Roads was once home to one of the real Monuments Men":
| Hampton Roads was once home to one of the real
Monuments Men Posted on: 6:22 pm, February 7, 2014, by Becca Mitchell and Les Smith
George Clooney, Matt Damon and art treasures stolen by Nazis — sounds
like a movie right? It is! |
||
 |
Monuments Men opens Friday and is based on an actual group of unsung heroes from World War II. It turns out, one of those heroes of the art world was a real-life treasure to those who knew him in Hampton Roads. He was Everett Parker Lesley, Jr. known to his friends as Bill. Linda McGreevy was a new professor at Old Dominion University where Lesley taught Art History and also had some personal history to tell. He was one of the Monuments Men – 345 men and women, mostly volunteer art experts, who joined the service during World War II to protect cultural treasures from Nazi destruction. “It was the American and British troops who came in, those professionals in the art world, who helped to start this process of bringing these things back to where they really belong,” McGreevy says. The story has been told on smaller scale in films like the Rape of Europa, which McGreevy knows from owning Naro Video in Norfolk. Starting today, millions will know the story thanks to the latest George Clooney and Matt Damon film. But very few people know firsthand one of the people who not only witnessed history but helped preserve it. |

Lesley also found a train carrying a famous DaVinci and helped return it to Poland. He was living history for his colleagues at ODU. “He was very proud of what he had done and here was a woman who could speak to him about it, you know, and actually was surprised and interested and like, ‘Oh Bill, you did that?’” McGreevy says. “I think the Monuments Men experience was probably the best thing that ever happened to him in his life.” Bill Lesley died in 1982. For a time, he was the acting director of the Norfolk Museum of Arts and Sciences, which today is the Chrysler Museum.

| Obviously from the ODC yearbook image I've added here, Mr. Leslie was teaching while I was attending there. Had I not switched my major from Art to English during freshman registration, I'm sure I would have known him. Regrettably, I did not. |

Close your eyes
and I'll kiss you
Tomorrow I'll miss you
Remember I'll always be true
And then while I'm away
I'll write home every day
And I'll send all my loving to you
I'll pretend that I'm kissing
The lips I am missing
And hope that my dreams will come true
And then while I'm away
I'll write home every day
And I'll send all my loving to you
All my loving, I will send to you
All my loving, darling I'll be true
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you
Tomorrow I'll miss you
Remember I'll always be true
And then while I'm away
I'll write home every day
And I'll send all my loving to you
All my loving, I will send to you
All my loving, darling I'll be true
All my loving, All my loving
Woo, all my loving, I will send to you
