Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I think
we've never used this song as a Newsletter theme before, either. Of course, I've
thought that several other times recently, only to have expended a lot of
time and thought redeveloping graphics and such before I finally realized that we
had.....
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFhwxZeq6g4 - The Wayward Wind - Gogi Grant, 1956
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wayward_Wind:
"The Wayward Wind" is a country song written by Stan Lebowsky and Herb Newman.
In 1956 versions were recorded by Gogi Grant, Tex Ritter, and Jimmy Young, of which Grant's was the biggest seller in the United States and Ritter's in the United Kingdom. The song reached #1 on the Cash Box chart, which combined all recorded versions, but must have got most of that popularity from the Gogi Grant version, which reached #1 on the Billboard chart on its own. The song is one of only two songs that were major hits for Grant, the other being "Suddenly There's a Valley".
In 1961 Gogi Grant's recording was reissued and reached Billboard #50 and Cash Box #78. That same year, Patsy Cline made a recording, which did not chart.
In 1963 a new recording was made by Frank Ifield, which reached #1 on the UK charts.
The song made the Billboard country chart in the 1980s in a version by Sylvia, with accompaniment by James Galway.

('60) of TX - 08/17/10 - "Class of 1960
- Fifty Year Reunion":
Hi, Cousin Carol, Just wanted to say what a great time I had at our 50-Year 1960 class reunion. It was my first one to attend. It brought back so many memories to tour the school, and to see the field out back that I remember running around the track thinking I cannot make another step. But most of all to see the students that I have not seen in fifty years. I hope I am able to make the next one in five years. I had our star football player ![]() Glenn Dye TYPHOON Always 1960 SUPER-DE-DUPER! Thanks so much, Cousin Glenn! ![]() |
From Domi O'Brien ('64) of NH - 08/17/10 - "
Isaac Bonewits Memorial / Life in America":
To most of you, the
name Philip Eammons Isaac Bonewits probably means nothing. Isaac was the
author of a number of books on magic and religion; at one time, he was
the Archdriud for Ar nDraoicht Fein, for which I was Vice-Archdruid and
Preceptor (education director) in the early to mid-1990's. Isaac was two
years younger than me, and retired as Archdruid 14 years ago due to
health issues. He died Aug 12th, of colon cancer. To my children, he was
"Uncle Isaac", an imposing figure in ritual, and a master of songs and
puns outside of it. At the end of this NPR story on his life and death, if you listen, you will hear my daughter ![]() http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=129182786
You can find a great
deal of his work on the web. Isaac and I had many theological and other
disagreements; but I always considered him a true friend. I will be
traveling to his memorial in NY Saturday, to offer condolences to his
widow, Phaedra, and his son, Arthur, and remember him along with many of
my fellow Druids. An old college friend has offered to drive several of
us down and back. My friend who has volunteered his services is not a
Druid, he's Jewish, of Chabad Lubavitch, who will miss Sabbath services
to perform this mitzvah, this blessing, this good deed.
Thank
you, Domi - my sincerest sympathies on the loss of your friend!
Because of all the research I've done about Druids so that we could celebrate your holidays and observances with you as we do with all others, I recognized Isaac's name right way, but I had not heard of his passing. One of the things for which I'm most grateful is that through our friendships here we're able to learn from each other and celebrate and laugh and cry with one another - just as all good families do. I've made a Memorial Edition for Isaac - I hope I didn't miss the mark too far: |

InkTip Pitch Summit
At the typical pitching event, you only
pitch 10 to 15 companies and that's
just not enough. We're focused on
getting your scripts sold, so we're
changing the writer / company ratio
so you pitch an average of 35
companies in a single day and for
about the same price.

The wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
In a lonely shack by a railroad track
He spent his younger days
And I guess the sound of the outward-bound
Made him a slave to his wand'rin ways
And the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
Oh I met him there in a border town
He vowed we'd never part
Though he tried his best to settle down
I'm now alone with a broken heart
And the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
The next of kin to the wayward wind
