50's era lyrics: Here's one Connard. I'll do more later.
Earth Angel
Earth Angel
Will you be mine?
My darling, dear, love you all the time
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you.
Earth Angel
Earth Angel
The one I adore
Love you forever and ever more
I'm just a fool,
A fool in love with you
I fell for you and I knew
The vision of your lov-loveliness
I hoped and I prayed that someday
That I'd be the vision of your hap-happiness
Oh,Oh, Earth Angel, Earth Angel
Please be mine
My darling dear, love you all the time
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you-u-u-u.
Platters.
I don't remember this song but it was one of my mother's favorites. |

A great discussion. Randy, visiting the Vietnam Memorial was also sobering for me. I took a few photos while there http://www.consultwebs.com/ncphotos/washington_dc_pg2.htm (If anyone wants any non-watermarked copies, just say the word.)
Marilyn, "Earth Angel" is still one of my favorites. You can hear it here (also linked from our Memories and Flashbacks page) page): http://www.doowopfix.co.uk/feat6.htm
I remember ramps well. I'm probably the only person who lived in Craig who hasn't tasted them. People drive long distances to enjoy them. Dale

Hello Randy, write me offline & let me know which ones you would like from the page and I will be happy to send them. I was in Vietnam in 1970. Odd we didn't run into each other out there in the jungle.  There is a link to some of my Vietnam photos in the War topic on the board. Actually, here it is http://www.consultwebs.com/daletincher/vietnam.htm I was proud to have served, but sure was glad to get out of there. Dale

Do you remember 10-cent coffee? 15-cents? 25-cents? How about 3-cent stamp? Postage going up next year to 42 cents.
Ever ask yourself why? It cost more than a penny to make a penny so why do me still make pennies?
Had a conversation Saturday with a man unhappily discussing $3. a gallon gas as he was drinking $3. a cup of Starbucks. Interesting.
Do you think the oil companies and medical companies have an agreement? Oil companies charging down the center of the field taking the heat and the medical companies charging down the side lines un-noticed.
And finally my question of the day: Was everyone working all day or did anyone sneak out and take pictures of old hotels biting the dust?  |

Randy: Yes, I remember the Traveling Wilburys. Mr. King of Folk, Bob Dylan, along with Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne and George Harrison.
Go to Amazon.com and type Traveling Wilburys in the search box. They sounded amazing together, didn't they? |

While searching for something to post for Dale’s trip on the 25th, I happened onto the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) site and the kids page.
http://www.niehs.nih.gov/kids/music.htm#index
There are 5 categories of music: children, patriotic, favorites, movies/musicals, & holiday/sounds. Music will play when you clip a title. Not the greatest sound for adults but good to listen to and most often the words to the song. Green Beret, Marine Hymn, Navy Hymn, Army Song, Off We Go Into The Wild Blue Yonder, Stars & Stripes For Ever, and other good stuff. Check it out.
On this page was “The Caissons Go Rolling Along”. That brought to mind a WWII movie “Battleground” with James Whitmore & Van Johnson. The platoon is walking dog-tired from the front lines down this dirt road. Fresh troops riding in trucks are coming down the road and James Whitmore whips his platoon in shape and there are marching tall and proud past the replacements and the song “The Caissons Go Rolling Along” ends the movie. Great scenic, great b/w movie, great song.
Might even be able to use a couple of lines from the song while playing golf
Was if high, was it low, Where the heck did that one go, As my Nike is no where in sight.
Was it left, was it right, Now we won’t get home tonight, As my Nike is no where in sight. |

Chris: Is Thursday golfing day? My "Rupertdite" husband was an overly avid golfer. I was a golf widow. When our little grandson came along, the golf clubs suddenly lost their luster and this little fellow has become the number one passion around here. haha  |

Friends, neighbors, brothers, and sisters
I’m just an ordinary regular human but I gave into temptation, yes it’s true
Satin has haunted me and in a moment of weakness, I faltered
I said I wouldn’t and I have tried hard but it happened
Friends, neighbors, brothers, and sister
Idle hands and minds are the devils tools and I tried to resist
The soliciting mail, the email in my inbox, I discarded them refusing to look
But then that terrible moment today when I gave in to the lure
I’m not a bad person really I’m not
That four-letter word that spells doom
I see other enjoying and talking about personal pleasures
It has been almost a year I have fought off the evil tyrant
You thought I was admitting to something bad, now didn’t you?
Four letter word – GOLF. Pleasures – new clubs.
It has been a year since I built a set of golf clubs
I refused to look at the several catalogues that I get and the emails from the component companies
But on ebay this morning, I just couldn’t refuse the attraction to get a set of iron heads
3 – 9 + Pitching Wedge, Gap Wedge, and Sand wich. (10 pieces)
I promise this will be the last set of clubs I build, assemble.
And then is a couple of weeks, to my golf buddies, Buttercup, Cup Cake, & Junior,
I can sing: yatta, yatta, yatta, yatta, I got new clubs and you don’t.
And I really need someone to blame
So it isn’t my fault, it’s ebays fault
What is a sand wich? Why that’s two pieces of bread with peanut butter and grape jam.

Once again, your action news reporter in the booth at the gym
Covering the disturbance at the basketball playoffs
Pardon me sir, did you see what happened?
Yeh, I did...half-time, I was just going down there
To get Ethel a snow cone
Here he come right our of the cheap seats
Dribblin'...right down the middle of the court
Didn't have on nothin' but his PF's
Made a hook shot and got out thru the concession stand
I hollered up at Ethel, I said don't look Ethel
It was too late...She'd already got a free shot
Grandstanded...Right there in front of the home team
He ain't rude, he ain't lewd,
He's just in the mood to run in the nude
Oh yes, they call him the streak
He likes to turn the other cheek
He's always making the news
Wearin' just his tennis shoes
Guess you could call him unique...
