An interesting note concerning Sousa’a march. He required all members of his band to memorize their parts for “Stars and Stripes Forever”. They had to be able to play it at the drop of a hat — or a baton.

Hi Kathy!
*HUGS*
Weekend is shaping up okay, thanks. We have to buy and install a new storm door tomorrow. Apparently my brother in law is coming by to help us with that. Church on Sunday. Have some paperwork to do over the weekend. Other than that, I'll try to get some rest.
Do you have anything going this weekend?

Hello there!
(”Long time no see!”)
Yeah, long time no here this time of day. But I’m here today...
Feeling a little nasty...
Remember when Tipper Gore’s PMRC started holding meetings on how awful certain music was, and they came up with a list that came to be known as the “filthy fifteen”...
Two of them were Sheena Easton’s “Sugar Walls” and W.A.S.P.’s “Animal”.
That second one definitely deserves an advisory notice >:D
but if somebody here were to play them I’d be grateful....

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...thanks for the reminder about checking the wipers. I never thought of that.
It turned out that I had 3 turn signals, was able to get a couple estimates, and drove it to work today. Stopped at my mechanic shop after work and they fixed the 4th light. They had to put it on the lift thingy, and do some prying of metal, but they did it! I told Butch about the estimates and he said take the money and put it on a newer vehicle. He said they would provide grief counseling. LOL! I got my car brand new in 1984. It’s been a good ride. So now I’m looking on Craig’s List. *sigh*
So now I have to contact the payers and see what they say.

To: AZamericonnie; All
For those following the informative history of music as told by Publius (and you should), the geniuses of Brill Building should be familiar by now. This song, and in fact many of the Monkees' songs came from that stable of inovative song writers. Penned by Carole King and Gerry Goffin it's a true space oddessy (pun intended).
It incorporates one of the earliest uses of the Moog synthesizer on record layered with the Monkees trademark off-beat Farfissa organ and it's not very remarkable besides that. It was so early in the evolution of Robert Moog's invention that the musicians hardly knew what to make of it, but in the mid-sixties it was cutting edge technology and added the "spacy" sounds such a zany song called for.
The musicians on the track (as they were on most of The Monkees recordings) was the legendary LA Wrecking Crew who provided the backing tracks for scores of hits ranging from Sonny & Cher to Paul Revere and The Raiders and The Beach Boys. The Monkees took scathing criticism for not playing their own instuments on their early recordings when in fact, almost every band on the West Coast used the Wreking Crew as hitmaking gunslingers. Wrecking Crew drummer Hal Blaine jokingly recalls that in the words of Igor Stravinsky, this song went on far too long after the end, but it does pay tribute to the psychedelic middle sections popularized by heavier bands of the day like Steppenwolf. Again Davy is the featured singer here, although Micky Dolenz keeps a running banter and solid double-tracked harmonies.
