Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dERADmL8fAE - Greenfields - The Brothers Four ("Sing Along with Mitch")
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Brothers_Four:
| The Brothers Four are an
American
folk singing group, founded in 1957 in
Seattle, Washington, known for their 1960 hit song "Greenfields". Bob Flick, John Paine, Mike Kirkland, and Dick Foley met at the University of Washington, where they were members of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity in 1956 (hence the "Brothers" appellation). Their first professional performances were the result of a prank played on them in 1958 by a rival fraternity, who had arranged for someone to call them, pretend to be from Seattle's Colony Club, and invite them to come down to audition for a gig. Even though they were not expected at the club, they were allowed to sing a few songs, and were subsequently hired. Flick recalls them being paid "mostly in beer..." |

08/06/14 - "Feuding Banjos":
| Interesting read on the song Dueling Banjos which was stolen by
the movie company and made the title track of the the movie
Deliverance. One correction I would like to make to what appears in
Wikipedia. The song was co-composed and performed Don Reno and
Arthur Smith. Arthur just happened to be the one who sued since he
had the financial resources to do so from his TV show that appeared
back in the 50's.
Born in Buffalo, South Carolina, Don Reno grew up on a farm in Haywood County, North Carolina. In 1950 with Red Smiley, he formed Reno and Smiley and the Tennessee Cutups, a partnership that lasted fourteen years. Among their hits were "I'm Using My Bible For A Road Map", "I Wouldn't Change You If I Could" and "Don't Let Your Sweet Love Die". Reno & Smiley performed a regular gig on WRVA's Old Dominion Barn Dance Richmond, VA). Don Reno was my dad's cousin (his grandmother was a Haney). They grew up together on the same mountain in Haywood County, NC.
YOWZERONI-WOWZERONI!
Thank you so much, Terry!

Hi, Try to get in contact with one of the Lunch Bunch Class of 55 group. The Steve and John restaurant has closed and was refurbished as a Mexican Restaurant. I don’t know if they are still meeting in the same location but it does need updating. As always, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Human Condition: See What a Crowd Does to Help Man who got His Leg Stuck in

This would not have happened in Northern Virginia during rush hour-I
promise you! http://girlsjustwannahaveguns.com/human-condition-see-crowd-help-man-got-leg-stuck-train-video/:
Editor’s Note: In a truly spectacular display of
concern, these passers-by band together to get this man out of
danger. Shrimp on the barbie for everyone!
A man got his leg stuck while boarding a train in Perth, Australia today – and passengers helped to free him. Video released by the Public Transport Authority of Western Australia shows the man’s leg becoming wedged between the train and platform at the city’s Stirling Station. Workers were alerted and spent the next 10 minutes trying to free the man. YOWZERS-WOWZERS! Thanks, Billy!
You're right. Sadly I cannot imagine a scenario such as that
taking place up there...

Here are the dragonfly pics!
OOOH! Thanks,
Ashley!
From http://www.dragonfly-site.com/meaning-symbolize.html: "The dragonfly has been a subject of intrigue in every single continent it is found in, and with each civilization, has developed a unique meaning to it, its behavior and its lifestyle... The dragonfly, in almost every part of the world symbolizes change and change in the perspective of self realization; and the kind of change that has its source in mental and emotional maturity and the understanding of the deeper meaning of life...In many regions and as a norm of this day, the dragonfly is considered to be an agent of change and presumably symbolic of a sense of self realization. Self realization from how the dragonfly uses its power to control its movements and so elegantly. And change and evolution is all about the dragonfly’s ability to fly and the way it can be comfortable on water, land as well as the air." |

Well, that's not exactly what I thought their appearance signified, but I suppose it'll have to do..... 
Okay, Lady, you've

Once There Were Greenfields
-
Gilkyson, Dehr, MillerRecorded by
The
Brothers Four, 1960
Once there were greenfields, kissed by the sun
Once there were valleys, where river used to run
Once there were blue skies with white clouds high above
Once they were part of an everlasting love
We were the lovers who strolled thru greenfields
Greenfields are gone now, parched by the sun
Gone from the valleys were rivers used to run
Gone with the cold wind that swept into my heart
Gone with the lovers who let their love depart
Where are the greenfields that we used to roam
I'll never know what made you run away
How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the way
I only know there's nothing here for me
Nothing in this wide world left for me to see
But I'll keep on waiting until you return
I'll keep on waiting until the day you learn
You can't be happy when your heart's on the roam
You can't be happy until you bring it home
Home to the greenfields and me once again
