Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I think
it's time for a little Metallica.
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkfiUjWaF30 - Sad But True - Metallica - sing-along version
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sad_but_True:
"Sad but True" is a heavy metal song recorded by Metallica for their fifth studio album, Metallica. The song was released as the album's fifth single in mid-1992.
Though the band had utilised the 'D standard' tuning for the recording and subsequent performances of covers such as Crash Course in Brain Surgery and The Small Hours, this was the first instance of the band utilising such a low guitar tuning for an original piece (The Thing That Should Not Be is an exception as it was recorded and has always been performed in the 'D standard' tuning, not Drop D). Bassist Jason Newsted tuned his 5-string bass down to 'A standard' for this song, which is essentially the equivalent of D standard, i.e. one whole step down.
In 2004, Guitar Player listed James Hetfield's tone (most likely produced by an ESP EXP with a Mark IIC+ along with a Danelectro Longhorn bass)[original research?] as one of the "50 Greatest Tones of All Time."[1]
"Sad but True" is one of five singles from Metallica. The song was included on Metallica's live collaboration with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra (conducted by Michael Kamen), entitled S&M.
CONGRATULATIONS:
Double
congratulations are in order for the gorgeous
David Whitley ('67) of VA
who not only retired from
Dominion Power today after
forty-eleven years as a Senior Nuclear Planner, but who has lost well
over 80 pounds (sorry, I lost count...) since November and is now
even more gorgeous than before!
Nicely
done, David!

REUNION ALERTS:
From Dave Arnold
('65) of VA - 05/11/10 - "Class of 1965's 45-Year Reunion":
The NNHS Class of 1965 will hold its 45-Year Reunion on Friday and Saturday, October 15 and 16, 2010 - which is OPEN to all classes!
Friday evening we will meet at R.J.'s Restaurant and Sports Bar. The only cost will be what you choose to eat and drink. The company will be priceless.
Saturday
will be spent at Newport News Park. We've reserved a group shelter that can seat
150 people with sufficient cover to take care of any weather concerns. If you
made it to the 55th Birthday Party you'll recall it was held at the Park in one
of the smaller shelters. The facility we're using this time is a new addition
and will give us lots of flexibility to meet and reminisce. The cost of this
event is $15.00 per person through August 31, 2010. After that date the cost
will be $20.00 per person. The charge for Saturday will cover your food and
beverages.

From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 07/28/10 -"Joni James and a hidden message.":
| Hi, Carol: No doubt, former WRVA-FM Disk Jockey "Jim Quinn" (a.k.a. 
Bill Black - '66 - of GA)
who is a Newsletter
subscriber will pick up on the hidden message in my
recent reply which you
posted, making reference to Joni James."Strange What A Song Can Do" by Harry James and his Music Makers, featuring soloist Marilyn Morgan was the theme song of Roger Clark on his late night radio program aired on WGH-AM. Hello up there in LaGrange, Georgia!!! TYPHOON Regards, Joe Madagan ('57) of FL And as usual, that went right over my head, Joe! 
SHHH!
Don't tell ANYBODY this, but about the only time I
ever listened to the radio was when I was on a date (which,
admittedly, I tried to arrange as often as possible).
Other kids listened in the morning, in the evening, in the car, while
they were doing their homework, as they were going to sleep -
practically all the time. I myself was a tellybision junkie -
particularly if a WWII documentary or an old movie from the thirties or
forties was available. I used to consult the
TV Guide at the beginning of
each week to see how well I was going to feel. If a great old
movie was coming up on Wednesday at midday, chances were excellent that
by Tuesday night I would start to feel quite "ill" - asthma, a fever,
debilitating cramps, an elbow ache - once I even developed a very
painful eyelash ache. That's why my school attendance record was
so abysmal - I spent most of those days curled up on the sofa in front
of the TV with my blankie and a cool wet washcloth on my forehead.
First things first, ya know.
Thanks
for pointing out the patently obvious to me, Adonis!

McCain Rose of Northern VA - 07/28/10 -
"Keepers":
|
Carol...you may have posted this
before....but I thought of you when I received this....and wanted to
share it with my classmates @ NNHS class of 1965!!
Keeper
Their marriage was good, their dreams focused.. Their best
friends lived barely a wave away. I can see them now, Dad in
trousers, tee shirt and a hat and Mom in a house dress; lawn
mower in his hand, and dish-towel in hers.. It was the time
for fixing things. A curtain rod, the kitchen radio, screen
door, the oven door, the hem in a dress. Things we keep. |
|
OH,
WOW! How sweet of
you, Janice!
It's true, we have
received this in various forms from several people over the years.
I'm not certain how many times I've actually posted it, but I believe
the first time was from
http://nnhs65.com/10-18-07-NNHS-Our-Day-Will-Come.html (Actually, much of that Newsletter supports the same theme!)
But
that's the whole point, isn't it?!? It rather sums up
the whole feeling we have here for one another, doesn't it? We
want to keep one another close to us!
Thanks so much
for the reminder, Janice!

From Judy Phillips Allen ('66) of VA - 07/28/10 - "Blessing for you":
Blessing for you......
http://www.andiesisle.com/ThisBlessingIsForYou.html
Thank you so much, Dearest Judy,
this really is lovely!
"Ireland, sir, for good or evil, is like no other
place under heaven, and no man can touch its sod or breathe its air without
becoming better or worse."
-
George Bernard Shaw
(26 July 1856 - 02 Nov 1950)
A LITTLE BIT OF HEAVEN
Sure, a little bit o' Heaven fell from out of the sky one day
And nestled on the ocean in a spot so far away
And the angels found it, sure it looked so sweet and fair
They said suppose we leave it, for it looks so peaceful there!
So they sprinkled it with star dust, just to make the shamrocks grow
'Tis the only place you'll find them
No matter where you go
Then they dotted it with silver
To make its lakes so grand
And when they had it finished
Sure they called it Ireland!

Hey I’m your
life
I’m the one who takes you there
Hey I’m your life
I’m the one who cares
They, They betray
I’m your only true friend now
They, They’ll betray
I’m forever there
I’m your dream, make you real
I’m your eyes when you must steal
I’m your pain when you can’t feel
Sad but true
I’m your dream, mind astray
I’m your eyes while you’re away
I’m your pain while you repay
You know it’s sad but true, sad but true
You, You’re my mask
You’re my cover, my shelter
You, You’re my mask
You’re the one who’s blamed
Do, Do my work
Do my dirty work, scapegoat
Do, Do my deeds
For you’re the one who’s shamed
I’m your dream, make you real
I’m your eyes when you must steal
I’m your pain when you can’t feel
Sad but true
I’m your dream, mind astray
I’m your eyes while you’re away
I’m your pain while you repay
You know it’s sad but true,sad but true
I'm your dream,
I'm your eyes,
I'm your pain
I'm your dream
I'm your eyes
I'm your pain
You know it's sad but true
Hate, I’m your hate
I’m your hate when you want love
Pay, Pay the price
Pay for nothing’s fair
Hey, I’m your life
I’m the one who took you there
Hey, I’m your life
And I no longer care
I’m your dream, make you real
I’m your eyes when you must steal
I’m your pain when you can’t feel
Sad but true
I’m your truth, telling lies
I’m your reasoned alibis
I’m inside open your eyes
I’m you
Sad but true
