03/07/14 - NNHS Newsletter - Who's Sorry Now?
“How
does one know if she has forgiven? You tend to feel sorrow
-

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who%27s_Sorry_Now%3F:
| "Who's Sorry Now?" is a
popular
song with music written by
Ted
Snyder and lyrics by
Bert Kalmar and
Harry Ruby. It was published in
1923.[1] "Who's Sorry Now?" was featured in the Marx Brothers film A Night in Casablanca (1946), directed by Archie Mayo and released by United Artists. The song has been recorded by a number of artists. It was recorded in 1932 by Billy Banks and His Rhythmakers, featuring Eddie Condon on guitar. The Tiny Hill Orchestra recorded it in 1945 (Mercury Records catalog number 2041). Another one of those was an August 20, 1951 recording by Jerry Gray and his orchestra (Decca Records catalog number 27868[2]). Johnnie Ray recorded his version in 1956 for the Columbia Records label. It reached number 17 in the UK Singles Chart in February 1956.[3]The song was recorded in 1958 by Connie Francis, and since then the song has become closely identified with her due to the immense popularity of her version which was her breakout hit. Francis' father had pestered her to record "Who's Sorry Now" being adamant that the song would be a rock and roll smash hit. Francis did not share this enthusiasm but when an October 1957 recording session - scheduled to be Francis' last as she had scored no hits - wrapped early the singer used the leftover studio time to record "Who's Sorry Now" as a goodwill gesture to her father.[4] Breaking in January 1958 - mainly on account of Dick Clark's championing of "Who's Sorry Now" on American Bandstand - the track rose to number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 that spring, with eventual US sales totaling one million units. In the UK, "Who's Sorry Now" was number 1 for six weeks in May and June 1958...[5] |

('65) of NC - 03/07/14:
Yesterday
My Sister, Eleanor Buckley Nowitzky of NC,
the Best Dressed Girl in the Class of 1959,
took me to see our adorable and heroic young PA-C, Jason Adams,
who gave me fresh steroid shots in what I laughingly refer to as my
knees and some Celebrex to further control the pain.
WHOO-HOO!
Thank you so much, Jason and Eleanor!

Time Machine" of music. Each of the years below connects to the best 20
hits of that year via a Jukebox. Click on a year, wait a few seconds,
and a Jukebox will appear showing you 20 hits from that year to select
from. You can play all 20 hits, or.. click on just those that you like. |

":
| THE BEST potato
soup recipe ever! |
||
 |
Ingredients: 2 1/2 pounds baby red potatoes, sliced into small bite sized pieces 1/2 regular package uncooked bacon, finely diced 1 medium onion, diced 1/4 bunch celery, diced 8 cups milk 4 cups water 4 chicken bullion cubes (use a cup of the hot potato water to dissolve, then use the cup of hot water in place of one of the above cups of water) 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon black pepper 3/4 cup salted butter 3/4 cup flour 1/4 bunch freshly chopped parsley 1 cup whipping cream For garnish: Shredded cheese fried bacon bits chopped green onions |
|
Directions: In large pot, boil potatoes in water 10 minutes. Drain and set aside. In sauté pan, cook bacon until crisp. Drain bacon fat and place on paper towel over plate to drain more. Add onion and celery to bacon pan over medium-high heat until celery is tender, about 5 minutes. To the large potato pan, add milk, water, bullion, salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat until mixture is very hot, about 8 minutes, stirring often. Do not let mixture boil. In small, heavy saucepan melt butter. Add flour and mix well. Cook over medium-low heat until mixture bubbles, stirring 2 to 3 minutes to make a roux. While constantly stirring soup, add roux slowly until soup is thick and creamy, about 4 minutes. Stir in parsley, reserved potatoes, and cream. Garnish with cheese, bacon bits, onions or all three. Serve hot! |

Who’s sorry now, who’s sorry now
Whose heart is achin’ for breakin’ each vow
Who’s sad and blue, who’s cryin’ too
Just like I cried over you.
Right to the end, just like a friend
I tried to warn you somehow
You had your way, now you must pay
I’m glad that you’re sorry now.
Right to the end just like a friend
I tried to warn you somehow
You had your way, now you must pay
I’m glad that you’re sorry now.
