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 My #5 Son,
Nathaniel
Harty (Hillsboro HS,
IL
- '97) of IL - 05/12/16 - "Nice baseball story":
| I used to hate David
Ortiz as a player. Mostly because the Cardinals lost in 2004 against the
Red Sox, but he's steadily improved in my view since that time. His
response to the Boston Marathon bombings was awesome, but this one takes
the cake. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=espn:15517182 Like they said, that's Hollywood stuff there.
