Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Without a song - that's where I was before I heard Frank Sinatra
sing this on the radio!
BONUS - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyJAtc-pcwU - Without a Song - Frank Sinatra
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Without_a_Song:
| "Without a Song" is a
popular
song with music by
Vincent Youmans and lyrics by
Billy Rose and
Edward Eliscu, published in 1929. It was included in the
musical play, Great Day. ... Lawrence Tibbett, Nelson Eddy and Frank Sinatra recorded versions of the song with what appears to be the original lyrics, including the line, "A darkie's born, but he's no good no how, without a song." In subsequent recordings, Sinatra didn't use the term "darkie", and later recorded versions included the altered text "a man is born, but he's no good no how, without a song..."[1] |

From My Friend, Susan, of NC - 11/20/15:
| “Sometimes, the truth
may just seem too straightforward, too plain, and too simple for us to
fully appreciate its great value. So we set aside what we have
experienced and know to be true in pursuit of more mysterious or
complicated information... When we chase after shadows, we are pursuing
matters that have little substance and value.”
- Dieter F. Uchtdorf(b. 06 Nov 1940) |
Thanks so
much, Susan!

| Two men sank into adjacent train seats after a
long day in the city. One asked the other, "Your son go back to college
yet?" "Two days ago." "Hmm. Mine's a senior this year, so it's almost over. In May, he'll be an engineer. What's your boy going to be when he gets out of college?" "At the rate he's going, I'd say he'll be about thirty." "No, I mean what's he taking in college?" "He's taking every penny I make." "Doesn't he burn the midnight oil enough?" "He doesn't get in early enough to burn the midnight oil." "Well, has sending him to college done anything at all?" "Sure has! It's totally cured his mother of bragging about him!" |

Without a song the road would never bend When things go wrong a man ain't got a friend Without a song That field of corn would never see a plow That field of corn would be deserted now A man is born but he's no good no how Without a song I got my trouble and woe but, sure as I know, the Jordan will roll And I'll get along as long as a song, strong in my soul I'll never know what makes the rain to fall I'll never know what makes that grass so tall I only know there ain't no love at all Without a song [instrumental] I've-a got my trouble and woe and, sure as I know, the Jordan will roll And I'll get along as long as a song, strong in my soul I'll-a never know what makes that rain to fall I'll never know what makes the grass so tall I only know there ain't no love at all Without a song
