Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I am in a rather blue mood, so I suppose this is a great song for today.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Roses_for_a_Blue_Lady:
"Red Roses for a Blue Lady" is a 1948 popular song by Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett (alias Roy Brodsky). It has been recorded by a number of performers. The best-selling recording was made by Vaughn Monroe and His Orchestra Vocalists: Vaughn Monroe and The Moon Men on December 15, 1948. It was released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 20-3319 (in USA) and by EMI on the His Master's Voice label as catalogue numbers BD 1247, HN 3014, HQ 3071, IM 13425 and GY 478. It first reached the Billboard magazine charts on January 14, 1949 and lasted 19 weeks on the chart, peaking at #4.[1]
Another recording was made by Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians on December 22, 1948. It was released by Decca Records as catalog number 24549. The record first reached the Billboard magazine charts on February 4, 1949 and lasted 13 weeks on the chart, peaking at #10.[1]
The song was revived in 1965 by vocalists Vic Dana and Wayne Newton and instrumentalist Bert Kaempfert; Dana's version was the most successful, peaking at #10 on the pop chart and #2 on the Easy Listening chart.[2] Kaempfert's peaked at #11 on the same chart. Wayne Newton's version reached #23. All were listed on Billboard's Easy listening (later Adult Contemporary) survey. Andy Williams released a version in 1965 as the B-side to his hit song "...and Roses and Roses"...

Hi folks; just got back from a great
morning ride with the sun out bright and a nice little breeze to help
cool down our current 86 degree temperatures! First off, I want to take a moment to thank each of you for your prayers over my Carotid Artery Blockage Problem! And to further state that those Prayers appear to be working! While I was sitting in front of our local Safeway drinking a diet soda, my Vascular Surgeon called to advised when she compared my Ultrasounds from 2014 and 2015 with yesterday's, she felt that there was NO appreciable change and felt it was safe to give me another 6 month reprieve on surgery! Unless I start having neck pains, vision changes or suffer a mini stroke, I should be OK for awhile! Thanks again to each of you for your thoughts and prayers! This old man doesn't allow many things to scare him; but this surgery is one that does! I realize it is a fairly common and simple operation from what it was 20+ years ago; but it still scares me to think of any more surgeries!
