BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQh112HQsoE - When a Man Loves a Woman - Percy Sledge
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_a_Man_Loves_a_Woman_%28song%29:
"When a Man Loves a Woman" is a song recorded by
Percy Sledge in
1966 at Norala Sound Studio in
Sheffield,
Alabama. It made number one on both the
Billboard Hot
100 and
R&B singles charts.[1].
It was listed 54th in the List of
Rolling Stone magazine's 500 greatest songs of all time. The
sidemen for this recording included
Spooner Oldham,
organ; Marlin Greene, guitar; Albert "Junior" Lowe, bass and
Roger Hawkins,
drums. The song is credited to Calvin Lewis and Andrew Wright, who
played bass and keyboards with Sledge. However, the song was in fact
written by Percy
Sledge himself, but he gave it to Lewis and Wright.[2] Before the recording session, the song had no title or lyrics. The session proceeded with the expectation that Sledge would produce them for the vocal takes. When it came time to record the vocals, Sledge improvised the lyrics with minimal pre-planning. Using the melody as a guide for rhythm and phrasing. The performance was so convincing that others working on the session assumed Sledge had the lyrics written down. |
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_Sledge:
"When a Man Loves a Woman" was Sledge's first song recorded under the contract, and was released in March 1966.[1] The song's inspiration came when Sledge's girlfriend left him for a modeling career after he was laid off from construction job in late 1965.[3] Because bassist Calvin Lewis and organist Andrew Wright helped him with the song, he gave all the songwriting credits to them.[4] It reached #1 in the U.S. and went on to become an international hit. "When A Man Loves A Woman" was a hit twice in the UK, reaching #6 in 1966 and, on reissue, peaked at #2 in 1987. The song was also the first gold record released by Atlantic Records.[5] The soul anthem became the cornerstone of Sledge's career, |

YESTERDAY IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES:
http://www.civilwarinteractive.com/This%20Day/thisday0406.htm - INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
Thursday, April 6,
1865 FIGHTING FINALE FINALLY FLARES The Battle of Saylor’s Creek today marked the last battle between the Army of the Potomac and the Army of Northern Virginia. The Confederates was nearing the Appomattox River, and the lead units got successfully across. The swampy land, though, caused some separations, and when Lt. Gen. Richard Ewell’s men mistakenly followed the wrong road, they were set upon by Federal forces and after battle, compelled to surrender. |
THIS DAY IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES:
http://www.civilwarinteractive.com/This%20Day/thisday0407.htm - INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
Friday, April 7, 1865 REBEL RAGE RAPIDLY RECEDING US Grant commenced on this day a most delicate negotiation--he sent a letter, under flag of truce, to Gen. Robert E. Lee. “The result of the last week must convince you,” he said, “of the hopelessness of further resistance...(to avoid) any further effusion of blood, by asking of you the surrender of that portion of the CS Army known as the Army of Northern Virginia.” |
Hey, Carol: You have been working too hard lately. Might it be that a bad case of "Cabin Fever" has set in with the long winter in Illinois? When a cat makes purring sounds like Doris Day, you might need to see your friendly physician to have your hearing checked. Not hitting the bottle are you??? TYPHOON Regards, Joe Madagan ('57) of FL Wal, Adonis, that may all be true (except for the inebriation part!), but I don't think so; I'm a well-known hermit who has ventured outside far more lately than I would have preferred.
Besides,
Thanks, Joe!
Speaking of which...

Carol I wondered who all had Mrs. Graves for math. I felt sorry for her. Not only were her regular glasses thick, but the pair that she wore over them was thicker. One time she had both pairs lying on her desk, bumped against the trash can, and said excuse me. Glenn
I'm not
sure, Glenn. Being "mostly" blind myself, I can certainly
identify with her. I believe
Thanks for the nudge!

04/06/11 - "A TRIBUTE TO THE VIETNAM WAR VETERANS":
This is powerful and very well done. I
recommend to all it being seen and sent on. A great tribute and
remembrance to those of us who served in the Vietnam War Era. THE VIDEO SAYS THAT THE AVERAGE WW II COMBAT SOLDIER HAD 40 DAYS OF COMBAT - THAT'S THE AVERAGE IT SAYS..., AND THE AVERAGE COMBAT SOLDIER IN VIETNAM HAD 204 DAYS OF COMBAT. YOU CAN ONLY GUESS WHAT THE AVERAGE COMBAT HELICOPTER PILOT WHO WAS FLYING EVERY DAY HAD ...ANYWAYS, ENJOY THE VIDEO AND PASS IT ON IF YOU KNOW ANYONE WHO SERVED THERE. This is one of the better Vietnam videos made by and for Michigan Vietnam Veterans, but I believe all of you will appreciate this. This story could and is retold by 49 other states and territories as well. If you know a Vietnam Veteran consider sending this link to them. http://www.v-prod.com/trailer_vietnam.html

Lighten Up Or Heavy Up...The Choice

FINALLY:
From http://www.cleanjokes4u.com/:
Eat Plate: Taipei, Taiwan (AP) - Diners tempted to lick a plate after a delicious meal can now go a step further - eat the plate. Chen Liang-erh, 50, an amateur inventor, announced Friday that he had perfected an edible plate made from wheat grain, and that he planned to mass-produce it and other edible crockery including cups, bowls and food containers. Chen spent six years developing the plate, which he said would retail at about 7 cents each. Diners who don't want to eat the items - which taste like unsalted popcorn - can boil them for a nutritious meal for animals, he said. Chen said this can help reduce pollution caused by discarded crockery. The only disadvantage, he said, is his crockery cannot be washed and reused.... |

When a man loves
a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'll trade the world
For the good thing he's found
If she's bad he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he put her down
When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Tryin' to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comfort
Sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way it ought to be
Well, this man loves a woman
I gave you everything I had
Tryin' to hold on to your precious love
Baby, please don't treat me bad
When a man loves a woman
Down deep in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she plays him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Lovin' eyes can't ever see
When a man loves a woman
He can do no wrong
He can never own some other girl
Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're my world
When a man loves a woman.....
