Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today's
delightfully inspired theme was suggested for us months ago by our Wizard of
Wonderment,

"Newsletter for 10 September 2009":
Don’t know if you plan so far ahead, but I have a MIDI for the newsletter for 10 Sep:
The Beatles … One After 909. Get it? One after 9/09.

Lyrics: http://www.beatleslyricsarchive.com/viewSong.php?songID=188
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXt9ShJsAIo&feature=related From the Let It Be rooftop concert
I’m thinking that we need something frivolous and light hearted on the day before 9-11.
ABSOLUTELY! Thank you,
David!
I just found this video while I was testing the page. I love Beatles
videos. Were we ever all that young?!?
EXTRA BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59ANY-baJ7Y&NR=1 - 1964 Version
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_After_909:
"... a song by The Beatles, written primarily by John Lennon (credited to Lennon/McCartney) and originally released in 1970 on the album Let It Be. The album version is the live performance from the rooftop concert which took place on 30 January 1969. This performance is also included in the Let It Be film. The song was written as early as 1957, and is one of the first Lennon-McCartney compositions.[1]
Origin of title
"In a 1980 interview, Lennon explained, 'That was something I wrote when I was about seventeen. I lived at 9 Newcastle Road. I was born on the ninth of October-- the ninth month. It's just a number that follows me around, but numerologically, apparently I'm a number six or a three or something, but it's all part of nine.' [2]
"The Beatles recorded a version of the song on 5 March 1963 during the same session that produced their third single, 'From Me to You,' and its B-side 'Thank You Girl.' They were unhappy with the result and that version was not released at the time.[3"
40 YEARS AGO TODAY:

I think I'm over the worst of it now. I awoke with it last Tuesday
morning, so it's been nine days now. It must have been the 72-hour
flu; I always was a little slow.....

09/03/09 - MISPLACED BY
DITSY WEBMISTRESS
('65) of IL until
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL asked me about it
on 09/09/09 - "Fourth Grade at Walter Reed":
Hi, Carol: Maybe my computer skills are failing, but I could not find the photograph of the NNHS Class of 1961 taken of some of the students in the class while attending Walter Reed School in the contribution submitted by Norm Covert ('61) of MD or maybe I was staring at it and did not recognize my younger sister Nancy Madagan Van Orden ('61) of FL who was mentioned by Norm. I wanted to forward it to her daughter, Dr. Kimberly Van Orden and give here a big surprise. Today I checked the Website to see if the photo was posted under Walter Reed School but did not find the submission photo posted. Do I need to be recycled through computer classes or just have my eyes checked? TYPHOON Regards, |
Neither one! I am so sorry,
Gentlemen!

Norm's wonderful
treasures arrived on the day when I was probably the sickest - and I've been
totally trashed all week. I remember looking at both images, snuffling
through many OOOHS and AHHHS, processing the first picture, falling into my
beddie-bye, and waking up wondering if perhaps I may have forgotten
something.....

School - WOW!":
WOWZERS is right! Thanks, June, for that picture. I recognized Mrs. Blake, not sure about Miss Naff, and my fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Hubbard, must have come later. This is the push I needed to unpack those boxes in my garage to find my Memory books!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK5MZBEl1nY
Dave,
You are so kind to make such a suggestion BUT ...
1. I would have to have at least five drinks and everyone who knows me knows
that I'm a one drink girl (maybe two). AND . . . .
2. I don't own a dress that would hold that much stuff!! AND . . .
3. I don't even do Karaoke. I'm not sure I can even spell it.
Feel free to suggest someone else. Oh - and payback is What?
Jeanette
Thanks,
Jeanette!

09/08/09 - "PROOF READING IS A DYING ART":
These have been around a time or two before, but I think they’re good enough for one more go.
These are actual headlines in various newspapers across the country. Inexcusable sloppiness, indifference and carelessness exhibited by "professionals."
Man Kills Self Before Shooting Wife and Daughter
This one ran in the SGV Tribune; it took two or three readings before the editor realized that what he was reading was impossible!!! They put in a correction the next day.
Something Went Wrong in Jet Crash, Expert Says Ya think? Police Begin Campaign to Run Down Jaywalkers Now that's taking things a bit far! Panda Mating Fails; Veterinarian Takes Over What a guy! Miners Refuse to Work after Death No-good-for-nothing lazy so-and-so's! Juvenile Court to Try Shooting Defendant See if that works any better than a fair trial! War Dims Hope for Peace I can see where it might have that effect! If Strike Isn't Settled Quickly, It May Last Awhile Ya think?! Cold Wave Linked to Temperatures Who would have thought! |
Enfield ( London )
Couple Slain; Police Suspect
Homicide By Jove, they may be onto something! Red Tape Holds Up New Bridges You mean there's something stronger than duct tape? Man Struck By Lightning: Faces Battery Charge He probably IS the battery charge! New Study of Obesity Looks for Larger Test Group The first group was not fat enough? Astronaut Takes Blame for Gas in Spacecraft! Honesty is the best policy - even in space? Kids Make Nutritious Snacks Do they taste like chicken? Local High School Dropouts Cut in Half Here we go again, another Chainsaw Massacre! Hospitals are Sued by 7 Foot Doctors Now, those are some tall doctors! |

Uh, say what?
Thanks, Gorgeous!

Written by John Lennon, possibly as early as 1957
Recorded by
The
Beatles,
1970
My baby says she's trav'ling on the One after
Nine-O-Nine.
I said move over honey I'm traveling on that line.
I said move over once, move over twice,
Come on baby don't be cold as ice.
I said I'm trav'ling on the One after Nine-O-Nine.
I begged her not to go and I begged her on my bended knees,
You're only fooling around, you're fooling around with me.
I said move over once, move over twice,
Come on baby don't be cold as ice.
I said I'm trav'ling on the One after Nine-O-Nine.
I've got my bag,
Run to the station.
Railman says you've got the wrong location.
I've got my bag.
Run right home.
Then I find I've got the number wrong,
Well I said I'm trav'ling on the One after
Nine-O-Nine.
I said move over honey I'm traveling on that line.
I said move over once, move over twice,
Come on baby don't be cold as ice.
I said we're trav'ling on the One after
Nine-O,
I said we're trav'ling on the One after
Nine-O,
I said we're trav'ling on the One after
Nine-O-Nine.
