05/13/10 - NNHS Newsletter - "The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain." -
Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I'm so desperately far behind now that I'm repeating this Newsletter theme from only two years ago today:
http://nnhs65.com/05-13-08-NNHS-Kentucky-Rain.html
Besides, I don't know about Kentucky, but here outside of St. Louis, it has been raining about this same time every week for the last month.
BONUS #1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-v38lbPNZs - Kentucky Rain - Elvis Presley
BONUS #2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWDn2B-b7qQ - Kentucky Rain - Elvis Presley
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kentucky_Rain:
"Kentucky Rain" was a 1970 hit song for Elvis Presley. Featuring then-unknown pianist Ronnie Milsap and written by Eddie Rabbitt and Dick Heard, the single peaked at number 16 on the pop charts.
Released as a single on January 29, 1970, "Kentucky Rain" was not included on an album until the compilation package Worldwide 50 Gold Award Hits Vol. 1 (LPM-6401); while the track does appear on the 2000 re-release of From Elvis in Memphis, it was not included on the original 1969 album. During Elvis' February 1970 engagement he performed this at every show, introducing it as a new song "out about a week". Live versions are available on the box sets Elvis Aaron Presley and Live in Las Vegas.
This song was played exclusively every home game pregame at Cleveland Browns Stadium when University of Kentucky quarterback Tim Couch played for the Browns from 1999-2003.

From http://www.SelfGrowth.com - 05/10/10 - "Communication":
"The Unconscious
Hello," or a Secret Technique for Gaining Instant Rapport!
-
By Connie Brannan Today's
topic is unconscious communication. We all know about
language. Words. TALKING. It's part of how we "get our
message across" when we're communicating with someone. But
it's a very, very small part. There is so much more going
on, information being sent, received, exchanged between
minds on an unconscious level. Today I'll present you with a
quick method for enhancing unconscious communication, called
"The Unconscious Hello." It's a powerful tool to build
instant rapport and connection and good feelings with
another person, both in you and in them. So easily! And that
could be useful for making friends and influencing people,
could it not?

Words and Music by Eddie Rabbitt (27 Nov 1941 - 7 May 1998) and Dick Heard, 1970
(Elvis
Presley)
(8 Jan 1935 - 16 Aug 1977)
Seven lonely days
And a dozen towns ago
I reached out one night
And you were gone
Don't know why you'd run
What you're running to or from
All I know, is I want to bring you home
So I'm walkin' in the rain
Thumbin' for a ride
On this lonely, Kentucky backroad
I've loved you much too long
My love's too strong
To let you go, never knowing
What went wrong
Kentucky rain keeps pourin' down
And up ahead's another town
That I'll go walkin' thru
With the rain in my shoes
(rain in my shoes)
Searchin' for you
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
Showed your photographs
To some old, gray bearded men
Sitting on a bench
Outside a general store
They said, "Yes, she's been here"
But their memory wasn't clear
"Was it yesterday?
No wait, the day before."
Finally got a ride
With a preacher man who asked,
"Where you bound on such a cold, dark afternoon?"
As we drove on thru the rain
As he listened I explained
And he left me with a prayer
That I'd find you
Kentucky rain keeps pourin' down
And up ahead's another town
That I'll go walkin' thru
With the rain in my shoes
(rain in my shoes)
Searchin' for you
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
