Hi Everyone!
Whew! Boy am I tired! Daylight savings time . . . I just hate it! Joan says "What's the big deal?" I said that's easy for you to say! I'm the one who has to stay up till 2:00AM to reset the clocks!
Sharon . . . had her knee replaced on Tuesday March 5th. She is now back home. How about a big "shout out" for the GIMPer! . . . Hey Sharon! now you and the "State of Wisconsin" have something in common. You each have your own "Walker"!
Ok, enough of that! This song is dedicated to John and Sharon. . and "Hey its good to be back home again!"

50's songs sometimes were tricky. Take for example "You are my Special Angel" performed by Bobby Helms and Bobby Vinton. Bobby Helms recorded his version in 1957 . . . that's the one I remember clearly in high school. Then Bobby Vinton recorded it in 1963 and did a great job . . but. . listen to them both carefully. Which one turns your memories on??? For me it's Bobby Helms 1957 version!

In 1959 Bobby Vinton released "Venus". What a smooth, cool song. Brings back Cruising, Pigeon Lake, Silver Lake, Lates, The Penguin, fall dances, bonfires, Lake Michigan . . . hitting any nerves here? Like . . . one sunny winter afternoon. Torr picked us up in his Jeepster. Not sure, but I believe it was Torr, Bill Ohde , Tom Westover, Burns and I. We wore ski sweaters and blue jeans. . . no coats! Torr had the top down and we did the best we could to stand up while showing off as we "buzzed the gut!" 8th 10th and Washington streets in Manitowoc. We were sooooo cool. As a matter of fact. . . we froze our asses off! Such is the cost of HS fun and (really?) fame!
"It's all in the Game" by Tommy Edwards, takes me back to "Road Trips", drinking full quart bottles of beer and tooling "west" on highway 10 looking for adventure! Not that I approve of that sort of behavior! " It's all in the Game" is imbedded in all of our juvenile minds. It was the slow song that brought all the guys to the dance floor at the same time. Remember? It was Bill Ohde's favorite song, one of my favorites and I can't think of one member of this group who doesn't genuinely love this song.
Take care of yourself Sharon and next week I'll leave you alone! . . like that's gonna happen!
Till Next Week
