Actually, Facebook is pretty cool. I've found people that I've looked for for
years on their site. Great to get back in touch with old friends.... And if
it's not your cup of tea, just don't go back to the site. But I found at
least 6 people who I was looking for through phone books etc., and it's been
great fun talking to them. Haven't seen or heard from some of them since the
70's!! And it a great way to find new friends also...
Peace,

Ah yes, radio stations nowadayze....... most of the more 'profitable' being
owned by megamonsters.
I've read some where that you can start in California, drive to New York, and
you'll hear the same muzak all along the way. How sad.
When I lived in San Fran (1966-97) one by one my favest stations got bought out
and their formats changed. Thankfully, by then, I'd amassed a sizable
collection of LPs, cassettes and CDs.
So da heck with the radio, am playing my music all the time now.
Are any of you joining the new Facebook e-mail thingie.....????

Gunny – I grew up with the music of the Drifters, etc. I sure do miss hearing
it on any radio station now days. The stuff they have now that they call music
is a shame. “Save the last dance for me”, was and is one of my favorites.
Thanks for the memories you brought to my mind.
Thanks again, Gunny, and I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Subject: [TMIC] Save the last dance
Some of you may recall that I was the drummer with a group called the
"Edsels" in the late 50's. We recorded a song called Rama Lama Ding Dong.
Anyway, I was talkin with Harry Green (2nd Tenor), and Marshall Sewel (Bass)
the other night, and we discussed George (Wydell) Jones who passed away two
years ago. George was the lead singer with us. Marshall asked what was wrong
with me using a cane, so I told him. He asked if that was anything like Polio
and I told him the difference, and started complaining. He said, "Ya know, Doc
Had Polio". Doc who I asked. He said Doc Pomus who's real name was Jerome
Felder. I never met him but Marshall had so he related this story. Doc
contracted Polio as a child way back and in his early years, and was confined
to a wheel chair. It seems he and his wife were at an awards ceremony where Doc
was watching his wife dance with other guys that they of course knew, so Doc
penned a song for her as he watched called "Save
the last dance for me". If anyone here is old enough, the Drifters recorded
that back in the early 60's. Check out the Drifters on You Tube, click on save
the last dance for me, and listen to the words. Just goes to show what you can
do if you set your mind to it. He wrote a ton of other hits also, but this one
especially hit home with me. Something I never knew before. I guess we never
stop learning.
