From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Try_to_Remember:
"Try to Remember" is a song from the musical comedy The Fantasticks. It is the first song sung in the show, to get the audience to imagine what the sparse set suggests. Its lyrics, written by Tom Jones, famously rhyme "remember" with "September", "so tender", and "December", and repeat the sequence llow throughout the song: verse 1 contains "mellow", "yellow", and "callow fellow"; verse 2 contains "willow", "pillow", "billow"; verse 3 contains "follow", "hollow", "mellow"; and all verses end with "follow". Harvey Schmidt composed the music.
"Try to Remember" was originally sung by Jerry Orbach in the Original Off-Broadway production of The Fantasticks. "Try To Remember" made the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart three times in 1965 in versions by Ed Ames, Roger Williams and The Brothers Four.....

Bobby Yevak's ('65)
(28 Mar 1947 - 09 Dec 2008)
daughter":| Dearest Carol, Hi, my name is Michele Yevak Claire. I hope you remember 
me from
Pam and Dave's wedding. I hope
that this email finds you well.
I know that you know that Dad passed away back in 2008. I am reminded everyday of not having him with us. 8 years gone is too long. I was wondering if you can help me with something. Since Dad's passing I have this huge hole in my heart and I wanted to know if you can see if in any way, I can talk with or even meet with some of Dad's old friends. I feel that perhaps taking with Dad's old friends may help fill that void. I know that am asking for
your time but ANYTHING you can do for me is very much appreciated. I
hope to hear from you soon. |
| Oh,
Michele, of course I remember you!
Ever since we reconnected at our Class Reunion in 2000,
Bobby would phone me from
time to time, and we both really enjoyed those calls,
laughing at the good memories and crying over the sad. I know of the grief of losing a parent; it just is never easy, no matter what our age or theirs. I know, too, that hearing from old friends of our parents, while it can never erase that aching we feel, can bring a great deal of joy and comfort to our hearts. I shall be calling you soon; meanwhile I hope you hear from some of Bobby's friends.
C'mon, Typhoon
family, you know what to do!

From www.ajokeaday.com - 09/11/16:
| While driving in Pennsylvania, a
family caught up to an Amish carriage. The owner of the carriage
obviously had a sense of humor, because attached to the back of the
carriage was a hand printed sign: Energy efficient vehicle. Runs on oats and grass. Caution: Do not step in exhaust. |

Try to Remember
Music by
Harvey Schmidt
(b. 12 Sept 1929)
Lyrics by Tom Jones (b. 1928)

The Fantasticks,
1960
Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh, so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow.
Try to remember and if you remember, then follow,
(echo) Follow, follow, follow, follow
Follow, follow, follow, follow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That love was an ember about to billow.
Try to remember and if you remember, then follow,
(echo) Follow, follow, follow, follow
Follow, follow, follow, follow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember it's nice
To remember altho' you know the snow will follow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember it's nice
To remember without a hurt the heart is hollow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember
The fire of September that made use mellow.
Try to remember and if you remember, then follow,
(echo) Follow, follow, follow, follow
Follow, follow, follow, follow.
Thanks to T. Roberts
