Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
How about a
Golden Oldie from 1964?
BONUS - Bread and Butter - The Newbeats, 1964
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_Butter_%28The_Newbeats_song%29:
"Bread and Butter" is a 1964 song by
The Newbeats. Written by Larry Parks and Jay Turnbow, "Bread and
Butter" was the group's first and most popular
hit,
reaching #2 on the
Billboard Hot 100
chart in September 1964 for two weeks,[1][2]
while attaining the same position on
Cashbox for one week.[3]
The song reached #15 in the
United Kingdom[4]
and #8 in
Australia. It sold over one million copies in the
United States, attaining a gold disc.[1][4] "Bread and Butter" served as The Newbeats' demo in an effort to obtain a recording contract with Hickory Records. They were then asked to formally record the track for the label.[1] The opening two-chord piano riff and the lead falsetto singing voice of Larry Henley are notable features of the song... |

Wonderful words of wisdom! Now, if we
could just learn to apply them to our life, each and every day.
I've learned.... That the best classroom in
the world is at the feet of an elderly person.
Thank
you, John Darlin' - so good to hear from you!
This selection of great advice is usually incorrectly attributed online to the late Andy Rooney, but it's actually from a 1995 compilation entitled Live and Learn and Pass It On, Volume II. |

From Jim Rohn's Newsletter - 05/18/15 - "The Miracle of Personal Development":
Why Personal Development Is Critical
to Success
by Jim Rohn We generally change ourselves for one of
two reasons: inspiration or desperation. Well, the late Jim Rohn
aimed for the inspiration, always emphasizing the importance of
taking responsibility for self-improvement and showing people how to
reach for bigger, better lives. |
