Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Summer is almost upon us, and as everyone knows the three months of summer don't last nearly as long as the three months of the other seasons, I thought we'd better herald its arrival a day early.
BONUS #1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Y7P4n2uT0w - Turn! Turn! Turn! - Pete Seeger, 1962
BONUS #2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHi5O5xiqAU - Turn! Turn! Turn! - The Byrds, October 23, 1965
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turn!_Turn!_Turn!:
"Turn! Turn! Turn! (to Everything There Is a Season)", often
abbreviated to "Turn! Turn! Turn!", is a song written by
Pete Seeger in the late 1950s. The lyrics, except for the title
which is repeated throughout the song, and the final verse of the song,
are adapted word-for-word from Chapter 3 of the
Book of Ecclesiastes, set to music and recorded in 1962. The song
was originally released as "To Everything There Is a Season" on
The Limeliters' album Folk Matinee and then some months later
on Seeger's own The Bitter and the Sweet.[1] The song became an international hit in late 1965 when it was covered by the American folk rock band The Byrds, bowing at #80 on October 23, 1965, before reaching #1 on the Hot 100 chart on December 4, 1965, #3 in Canada (Nov. 29, 1965), and also peaking at #26 on the UK Singles Chart. The lyrics are taken almost verbatim from the Book of Ecclesiastes, as found in the King James Version (1611) of the Bible[2] (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8), though the sequence of the words was rearranged for the song. Ecclesiastes is traditionally ascribed to King Solomon... The Biblical text posits there being a time and place for all things: laughter and sorrow, healing and killing, war and peace, and so on. The lines are open to myriad interpretations, but as a song they are commonly performed as a plea for world peace, with an emphasis on the closing line: "a time for peace, I swear it's not too late." This line and the title phrase "Turn! Turn! Turn!" are the only parts of the lyric written by Seeger himself.[1] The song is notable for being one of a few instances in popular music in which a large portion of scripture is set to music, other examples being The Melodians' "Rivers of Babylon", Sister Janet Mead's "The Lord's Prayer", and U2's "40"... |

FINALLY:
From www.ajokeaday.com - 06/19/14:
A man was well inebriated, but he got behind
the wheel of his car anyway and began to drive home. Of course, he
couldn't exactly drive straight or stay below the speed limit.
Two policemen pulled him over and demanded a sobriety test. They asked him to walk a straight line, and he failed. They began to take him with them, but suddenly they received a call on their walkie-talkies, asking them to go to another part of town. They asked the man to be patient while they called someone else to cover for them. But the man grew tired of waiting and, after a few minutes, drove home. He got in bed and said to his wife, who had been waiting for him, "If any policemen come looking for me, tell them I'm not home yet." The wife agreed, somewhat confused and a little embarrassed. No sooner than her husband fell asleep did she hear a knock at the door. Sure enough, it was the two policemen. They asked about her husband, and she replied that he wasn't home. Then they asked to check her garage. Puzzled, she agreed. She opened up the garage for them--and there sat the policemen's squad car, lights still flashing. |

Words adapted from The Old Testament of The Bible, book of Ecclesiastes
Music by
Pete
Seeger, 1959
(b. 03 May 1919)
Recorded by
The Byrds, 1965
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late
