Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
We're
continuing to run Big Band Sounds all this week.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/After_You%27ve_Gone_%28song%29:
"After You've Gone" is a 1918 popular song composed by Turner Layton, with lyrics written by Henry Creamer. It was recorded by Marion Harris on July 22, 1918 and released on Victor 18509. It is the basis for many other jazz songs, as it can easily be improvised over. It is also the theme song for the BBC sitcom After You've Gone.

for a while last year. Otherwise...who knows?
WOWZERS!
Thanks so much, Bill!

From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 03/07/10 - "Jessie's Girl - The story behind the
song.":
"Jessie's Girl" - Written and
Recorded by Rick Springfield - The story behind the song. I was in between writing songs and, as I usually do during those times, I wanted to do something with my hands -- work with clay, paint, draw. I decided to take a stained glass class in Pasadena, California. There was a girl in the class I really fell for -- until I found out that her boyfriend was also in the class. His name wasn't Jessie, it was actually Gary but that name didn't fit in the song. Besides, Jessie is tougher sounding.... Nothing happened with her, and the song lasted longer than the relationship would have, I'm sure. I generally have my writing sessions at home. I was in my music room and originally was going to title this song "Don't Talk To Strangers." After I changed the title to "Jessie's Girl," I wrote another song entitled "Don't Talk To Strangers" that also became well known, fortunately. I wrote "Jessie's Girl" in pieces and held on to it a bit, then put the pieces together over time. I thought it would only be an album track, but I played several cuts for Keith Olsen, who produced Fleetwood Mac, Foreigner, Pat Benatar and many others, because he expressed interest in doing a song with me. "Jessie's Girl" stuck out to him, so that's the one we worked on together. It's hard for me to select a song -- they're all my babies. I had recorded the demo in my home studio and we followed it pretty closely except there was a long guitar solo part in the demo that we took out. The song took a long time to become a hit. It took a year to reach #1 on the charts. Those were the days when songs were still meaningful to record companies and they stayed on them. It was a serendipitous time of my life. "Jessie's Girl" was a catalyst for me and my career. It has become my "Thanks For the Memories" that I'll be performing until I'm 106. Thanks, Shari! ![]() |

So Much
Noise - By Jim McDonald
Can you be alone and quiet? Can you
simply sit and be still in silence, with YOU? Are you walking around
unconscious, asleep? |

"MY KIND OF STORY!!":
A man is dining in a fancy restaurant and there is a gorgeous redhead sitting at the next table.
He has been checking her out since he sat down, but lacks the nerve to
talk with her.
He reflexively reaches out, grabs it out of the air, and hands it back.

FINALLY:
From ArcaMax Jokes - 03/10/10:
Missing Tail light
"How long have you been driving without a tail
light?" asked the policeman after pulling over a motorist.
The driver jumped out, ran to the rear of his car and gave a long,
painful groan and put his face in his hands.
He seemed so upset that the cop was moved to ease up on him a bit.
"Come on, now," he said, "you don't have to take it so hard. It
isn't that serious."
"It isn't?" cried the motorist. "Then you know what happened to my
boat and trailer?"
