“Woman and men of retiring
timidity are cowardly only in dangers

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
First I'd just
like to say that for the past 57 years of my life I thought this song was
called, "Jim Daddy to the Rescue" - as in a Big Daddy. Or a Sugar Daddy. Or
something. I also thought it was a man singing it. It's a shocking thing to be thusly "edumacated" at my age.
I always enjoy learning new things - except when they make me feel like an
idiot.....
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqKTFFOqT-w - Jim Dandy to the Rescue - LaVern Baker, 1956
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Dandy_%28song%29:
"Jim Dandy" (sometimes known as "Jim Dandy to the Rescue") is a song written by Lincoln Chase, and was first recorded by American R&B singer LaVern Baker in 1956. It reached the top of the R&B chart[1] and #17 on the pop charts in the U.S. It was named one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll and was ranked #343 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[2]
The song is about a man (Jim Dandy) who rescues women from improbable or impossible predicaments.[1] It proved popular enough that Chase wrote a second song for Baker entitled "Jim Dandy Got Married.".[1]
The American English term jim-dandy for an outstanding person or thing predates the song; first attested in 1844, it may itself come from the title of an old song, "Dandy Jim of Caroline"...[3]

From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL -
08/20/13 - "The Wayward Wind":
| Hi, Carol: The theme of your 18 August 2013 Newsletter prompted a distant memory back to 1956 at the World War II Memorial Municipal Swimming Pool. We had a radio playing most of the time in the "Valuable Check Hut" and WGH played Gogi Grant's recording of "The Wayward Wind" several times a day since it was so popular that year. Our newly arrived Head Life Guard 
Charlie Nuttycombe was always
calm and collected until this song came over the radio, and he would
burst out with a few remarks about the "silly lyrics" of this song.Coach would add to his comment, "I certify..." as a way of expressing his honest evaluation. That affirming remark stemmed from his days as a Cadet at Virginia Military Institute. So, I just wonder if Coach Nuttycombe is a subscriber to your Newsletter, and if so, did his blood pressure rise while reading and listening to the midi??? TYPHOON Regards, Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
I've added your memory (in two places!) to our Archive: http://www.nnhs65.com/SITE-MAP.html http://www.nnhs65.com/faculty.html http://www.nnhs65.com/teachers.html http://www.nnhs65.com/teach-Nuttycombe.html http://www.nnhs65.com/old-stomping.html http://www.nnhs65.com/OOSG-S-Z.html http://www.nnhs65.com/pool.html

always delighted when people share their memories with us!

Things to do @ Wal-Mart while the significant other is taking his/her sweet time: 1. Look right into the security camera, and use it as a mirror while you pick your nose. 2. Take up an entire aisle in Toys by setting up a full scale battlefield with G. I. Joe's vs. the X-Men. 3. Ask other customers if they have any Grey Poupon. 4. Switch the men's and women's signs on the doors of the restroom. 5. Dart around suspiciously while humming the theme from "Mission Impossible." 6. Set up a "Valet Parking" sign in front of the store. 7. Hide in the clothing racks and when people browse through, say things like "pick me! pick me!!" 8. If the store has a food court, buy a soft drink; explain that you don't get out much, and ask if they can put a little umbrella in it.

I was riding
on a submarine
Got a message from my mermaid queen.
She was hanging on a fishing line.
Mr. Dandy didn't waste no time!
Jim Dandy to the rescue!
Go, Jim Dandy! Go, Jim Dandy!
Once upon a time, I went to Maine.
Got a ticket on a DC plane.
Mr. Dandy didn't need no chute!
I was high and ready to boot!
Jim Dandy to the rescue!
Go, Jim Dandy! Go, Jim Dandy!
Jim Dandy to the rescue!
Jim Dandy to the rescue!
Jim Dandy to the rescue!
Go, Jim Dandy! Go, Jim Dandy!
