Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Here's another look at a Newsletter from three years ago:
http://nnhs65.com/08-16-08-NNHS-All-Alone-Am-I.html
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnApJcGBDFY - All Alone Am I - Brenda Lee
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Alone_Am_I:
"All Alone Am I" is the title of a song from 1962 (see
1962 in music) popularized by the American singer
Brenda Lee. The music was originally composed by the Greek composer
Manos Hadjidakis and recorded by
Tzeni Karezi for the soundtrack of the film To nisi ton genneon
(The Island of the Brave). Later, a new version of the song was
produced by
Owen Bradley and appeared as the title track on one of Lee's albums. In 1960, the Greek film Never on Sunday was released to considerable acclaim, earning multiple Academy Award nominations in the US. The film's star, Melina Mercouri, was nominated for Best Actress, while the title song from the film won the Oscar for Best Original Song for Greek musician Manos Hadjidakis, who had composed the music used in the film. A melody that appeared in both Never on Sunday and The Island of the Brave was sent to Lee's management as a tune to be considered for the singer to record, and after being translated into English by Arthur Altman, became "All Alone Am I".[1] "All Alone Am I" became a top 10 pop hit in both the US and the UK. The song peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in November 1962[2] and number seven on the UK Singles Chart in February 1963.[3] The song also spent five weeks atop the US Billboard easy listening chart in November and December 1962, Lee's only song to do so.[1] The B-side to the single, "Save All Your Lovin' For Me", reached number 53 on the US pop chart. |

Clyde Morris Boulevard, Newport News. The start time has changed FROM 7:00 p.m. TO 7:30 p.m. in the Chesapeake Room. Dress is casual, Bermudas allowed.

After last year's fiasco, (the parking lot closed early and no one was
allowed in, as soon as the game started the Gestapo came around and
stopped all of the parties) what could happen this year? Well, I guess
we are going to find out! Due to a surprisingly loud clamor from former
participants (I actually received one phone call inquiring about this
year's tailgate) we are going to give
Christopher Newport one last try. Get your butts out and join
us and let's all have a good time. After all, if we do not enjoy the
rest of this ride why bother to get on the bus? If the entrance is closed, ford the mote, scale the wall, and join your friends. You're lucky to have them. Hope to see you there. http://www.nnhs65.com/CBJ/Typhoon-Tailgate-Ver-3_1.pdf C. Blaine Jones

English words by Arthur Altman (1910 - 18 Jan 1994)
Music by Manos Hadjidakis (23 Oct 1925 – 15 June 1994)
Recorded by
Brenda Lee
(b. 11 Dec 1944), 1962
All alone am I ever since your goodbye
All alone with just a beat of my heart
People all around but I don't hear a sound
Just the lonely beating of my heart
No use in holding other hands
For I'd be holding only emptiness
No use in kissing other lips
For I'd be thinking just of your caress
All alone am I ever since your goodbye
All alone with just a beat of my heart
People all around but I don't hear a sound
Just the lonely beating of my heart
No other voice can say the words
My heart must hear to ever sing again
The words you used to whisper low
No other love can ever bring again.
All alone am I ever since your goodbye
All alone with just a beat of my heart
People all around but I don't hear a sound
Just the lonely beating of my heart.
