Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I've always liked this 1960 classic; maybe you have, too.
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9kyGMvfZqo - Stand By Me - Ben E. King - sing-along version
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand_by_Me_%28song%29:
| "Stand by Me" is the title of a song originally performed by
Ben E. King and written by Ben E. King,
Jerry Leiber, and
Mike Stoller. There have been over 400 recorded versions of "Stand
By Me," including versions by
John Lennon,
Otis Redding,
Jimi Hendrix and
Elton John. According to the documentary History of Rock 'n' Roll, Ben E. King had no intention of recording the song himself when he wrote it.[1] King had written the song for The Drifters, who passed on the chance to record it. It was not until after the "Spanish Harlem" recording session that he had some studio time left over. The session's producers, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, asked if he had any more songs and King played "Stand by Me" on the piano for them. They liked it and called the studio musicians back in to record it. Mike Stoller recalls it differently: "I remember arriving at our office as Jerry and Ben were working on lyrics for a new song. King had the beginnings of a melody that he was singing a capella. I went to the piano and worked up the harmonies, developing a bass pattern that became the signature of the song. Ben and Jerry quickly finished the lyrics…"[2] The fact that arranger Stan Applebaum couldn't possibly have dashed off an entire string chart at the end of a session, much less copied and distributed all the parts, supports this less dramatic version of the events. Either way, King's record went to number one on the R&B charts[3] and was a Top Ten hit on the U.S. charts twice—in its original release in 1961, when it peaked at #4, and a 1986 re-release coinciding with its use as the theme song for the movie of the same name following its appearance in the film, when it peaked at #9, and also in an advertisement for Levi Jeans. It also reached #1 on the UK Singles Chart in 1987 after its re-release, mostly because of the jeans spot, originally reaching #27 on its first release. The song was not released on an album until it had been out as a single for two years. After those two years the song appeared as track seven on King's Don't Play That Song album. "Stand by Me" was ranked number 122 on
Rolling Stone's list of the
500 Greatest Songs of All Time. In 1999,
BMI named it as the fourth most-performed song of the 20th century,
with about 7 million performances...[4] |

From Frances Heath Scott ('62) of VA - 05/02/13 - "Additional
Villages info":
| Carol, Hope you are feeling much better by the time you read this. I had to send a correction on the info in your newsletter. 
Bobby Fowler is a
Class of '55 NNHS grad. I double checked what I had sent to you and had
'55....I don't want Bobby to think I forgot. (I certainly hope my memory
is correct, because I gave him a throw with '55 on it for Christmas!
Remember the throws our classmates received at our reunion? Same one,
different date.) Also, Bobby not only continues to sing, but over the
years, he has become quite proficient as a photographer and has had
numerous photos published in The Villages newspaper (can't recall the
name). 
JoAnn (Scott Fowler - '58), my
sister-in-law, has become a very competitive swimmer on The Villages
swim team, although she doesn't compete now, as much as she did. She
competed for the team at the Senior Olympics (I think about 2002.) and
did quite well, when the Senior Olympics were held at the Midtown
Community Center in N.N. She said it was really special to compete in
her hometown. Thanks, Frances! 
I must confess.
I changed your
label from '55 to '56 for a couple of reasons.
First, I scanned Bobby's senior image several years ago from page 111 of the '56 Anchor (which even bears his autograph, proving he was still there at the time). He is also pictured therein on page 75 with the Senior Chorus and the Boys Glee Club. Then I thought perhaps he may be one of those several students who (for a variety of reasons) can lay legitimate claim to two classes, so I checked the '55 Anchor. The only shot of Bobby I could find there was on page 75, again with the Senior Chorus, but no individual portrait at all. By then I thought it surely must be that because of my illness, I simply couldn't make sense of anything, so I held off posting your note (and Joe's, below) for a day until my head cleared. It didn't
help. "I'm so confused."
Well,
whatever the case, I'm delighted to hear that Bobby and JoAnn are
thriving down there in the Deep South, and we wish them well!

From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 05/02/13 - "Florida Cattlemen":

Hi,
Carol: Hope you received the photo image of the cattle drive at the entrance of the new section of The Villages. The developer must have hired the same artist that designed the similar cattle drive (monument) in Dallas, Texas. Florida cattlemen fed most of the Confederate Army in the Recent Unpleasantness. TYPHOON Regards, Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
Wal,
whodathunkit?!?
Thank you
so much for the "edumacation", Major Madagan!

From My Friend, Alice, of NV - 05/04/13 - "STUFFED ITALIAN BREAD":
|
Cut the bread into cubes with X slices without cutting all the way through the bottom crust. Pour the butter-onion garlic mixture carefully into those X cracks using a small spoon and over the top of the bread. Fill those delicious cracks with the grated cheese. (It seems like a lot of work and trouble but it's all worth it. Yes.) Wrap the entire loaf with foil, sealing the sides properly and bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and unwrap. Bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey. |
| OOH!
Thanks, Alice!

From www.ajokeaday.com - 05/03/13:
Drunks Two drunks were driving down the highway, drinking their beer. All of a sudden the driver noticed lights flashing in his mirror; the cops were on his tail. His buddy said, "What are we going to do?" The driver said, "Don't worry. Just do exactly what I tell you and everything will work out perfectly. First, peel the labels off our beer bottles and we'll each stick one on our forehead. Then shove the bottles underneath the seat, and let me do the talking." They pulled over and the cop walked up to the car. He looked at them kind of funny, but asked to see the guy's driver's license, and asked him, "Have you been drinking?" "Oh, no, sir," the driver replied. "I noticed you weaving back and forth across the highway. Are you *sure* you haven't been drinking?" the cop askeds. "Oh, no, sir," the drunk answered. "We haven't had a thing to drink tonight." "Well, I've got to ask you," said the cop, "What on earth are those things on your forehead?" "That's easy, Officer," said the drunk. "You see, we're both alcoholics, and we're on the patch." |

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.....
And darlin, darlin, stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin, darlin, stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah
----- guitar -----
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Darlin, darlin, stand by me-e, stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me....
