Not at all germane to the list, but something tells me a few of you will get a kick out of this nonetheless. Via the Clan MacAthair mailing list:
| Today is a very special day of celebration. | | Today, April 11 is INTERNATIONAL LOUIE LOUIE Day! | | While no country has actually made any kind of official declaration, and | there have been no mandated holidays that I know of, that shouldn't stop you | from using the time to celebrate this very special day. | | Why today, of all days? | | 1) Richard Berry, the author of this song, was born on April 11, 1935. | | 2) His original recording of LOUIE LOUIE was released during the week of | April 13, 1957, which means this song is 50 years old! | | 3) The Kingsmen recorded their version of LOUIE LOUIE on April 6, 1963. | | 4) On April 10, 1998, The Kingsmen regained their original recordings back | from the record companies that refused to pay them ANY royalties, despite | the millions of sales. | | There's some other great moments in LOUIE LOUIE history attached around this | time in April, but I think it's best that you read the rest of this | information for yourself at the LOUIE REPORT blog. | | The latest blog posting is formatted like a comic strip with fun graphics, | word ballooons, and goofy humor. I hope you enjoy it. | | So today - enjoy INTERNATIONAL LOUIE LOUIE DAY! | | Dancing is strongly recommended! | | . me gotta go now . | | ERIC PREDOEHL | http://www.louielouie.net/blog/ | ........................................... | * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * | You can automatically subscribe/unsubscribe to | THE LOUIE REPORT, the Louie Louie newsletter, | thanks to the robotic helpers at our website, | http://www.louielouie.net/16-subscribe.htm | | LouieLouie.Net is a production of Octalouie LLC. | | Octalouie LLC is firmly against "internet pollution," | be it spam, chain letters, computer viruses, or other | types of high-tech annoyances. | | For more information on the subject, please visit: | http://www.octalouie.com/resources/resources_pollution.htm -- Glenn -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
