Please Mr. Postman

The recent passing of Gladys Horton made me reminisce...I lurved the sound of the gurl groups way back when I was but a mere child...she was the leader of the Marvellettes..."Please Mr. Postman","Don't Mess With Bill", and my fav, "Beechwood 45789"....and it reminded me of others...

Like the Crystals..."Da Doo Run Run","The He Kissed Me", and my fav, "He's a Rebel"...

Like the Shirelles...so many hits..."Will You Love Me Tomorrow", "Dedicate To The One I Love", "Soldier Boy", "Mama Said", and my fav, "Baby It's You"...

Like the Chiffons..."He's So Fine", "Sweet Talking Guy", and my fav, "One Fine Day"...

Like the Orlons...well, they did have a token guy with them..."The Wah Watusi", "South Street", "Not Me", and my fav, "Don't Hang Up"....

Martha Reeves and the Vandellas..."Dancing In The Street", "Nowhere To Run", "Jimmy Mack", and my fav, "Heat Wave"...

The Supremes...of course, they were the stars of the era, with Diana Ross...who we saw at Humphrey's last season..."Baby Love", "Come See About Me","Stop, In The Name Of Love", and my fav, "You Can't Hurry Love"...

The Shangri-las..."Remember (Walking in the Sand)", "Give Him A Great Big Kiss", and my fav, the classic, "Leader Of The Pack"...

The Ronettes..."Breaking Up", "Baby, I Love You", and my fav, "Be My Baby"...

So most of you have no clue to most of these groups or songs...who did I leave out?  Look 'em up and try 'em out...you"ll be surprised how great they were...

Out at the Farmer's...Tiger was 3 under on the easy course, Lefty was 5 under on the tough one...a South Korean is leading at 9 under... Cris flies in the pm and we get out there tomorrow...look for us, we will be in matching purple suspenders...

Ah, of course we could go on forever on this one. Great selections! Without looking any up I can think of The Dixie Cups, Goin to the Chapel. I really liked a gal who wasn't in a girl group but sounded like it: Barbara Lewis.
Hello Stranger, Baby I'm yours, and The one who really Loves You.
Mary Wells also.

The trump criminal trial is now set to go on Monday ...try as he may, he couldn't get it delayed...how many tries?...4?...it's a go, Bozo.. .and now, it is Perry Mason time ...does he have Perry?...I see he is without the lady attorney he had in his last court case ... a thought for us all...seems like whenever we are watching the 'famous people' in court, the prosecution has a tougher job ahead of them ...we shall see...and the item of 'odor' has emerged again...what the heck?... Bizarre outside the courthouse...a guy set himself on fire...he died ...the last time I can recall something like this... was in South Vietnam, with the Buddhist Monks doing the same, in the Vietnam War...egads ....we just don't value life enough... Congress...it's another odd session...with House Speaker Johnson (Mr Peepers) going against MAGA, and trying to get $ for Ukraine and Israel ...yes, MTG is not only fighting that, but attempting to get him fired from his job...why o...

Good morning all, from the great state of Oregon...this whole trip is about FRIENDS!...meeting up with peops we have been with over our years in the PNW...and for Boss's reunion....the opening act was a combo party of the two at this pad, a bar, called Johnny's...simply said, it was fun... The stories were there, the faces remained the same...and it tickled moi, that so many FRIENDS showed up...unfortunately, I did not get enough time to talk to all, please forgive me...when you go back some 60 years, my memory does fade a tad...well, and so does their's...ha ha...believe me, it was worth the trip... Boss was one of the belles of the ball...yes, she still looks great...you know that....well, the rest of her class did not know that, until last eve...she was flitting (flirting) about so...which made me smile...and that is only the beginning of it...the REAL reunion is tonight...one of my FRIENDS reminded me that is the gals reunion...which I think is most reunions...it is for...

When the thesaurus ran it's new version...it highlighted the word 'oration'...and there it was ... President Barack Obama...and then there is more..... see...Michelle Obama ...these two have the fundamental prowess of giving speeches...at the right time...at the right place... No better example of this, than last night at the DNC...each were marvelous...of course ...it's what people, special people, like these two...do...carry a message across the Nation...that we all can not only understand, but agree with... For seemingly years, the Horse has said...that if Michelle O wanted to be in the White House, AGAIN...this time as the President, and not the wife...she could ...however, for right now...she is supporting the right choice...for this time of the history of our country.... Tonight, we hear another exceptional orator...President Bill Clinton ...it's almost like taking a class in college...Speech 101...BTW, I was turrible at it...just in case you were wondering......
