There was my correct address and phone number amongst a myriad of other George St. Georges (I think there are seven of us in the US -- TWO in Texas!) I prefer http://www.intelius.com, because it tells you when the info was last updated, though they don't give away addresses or phone numbers for free. On the other hand, 24-hour searching costs $20, which is reasonable, AND you can do reverse searches (all occupants of a given address), which helps if someone has changed her name. George

That happened to me once. I don't expect it to happen to me again. How about you, Oak? George

Happy, happy birthday from all of us to you! Happy, happy birthday, may all your prayers come true! May you have happy birthdays, ALL YOUR WHOLE LIFE THROUGH! Happy, happy birthday, is our true wish for you!* George --> * And it IS God in Christ in you!

Yeah! How'd you like five acrossed your lips? George

Sounds like "House of the Rising Sun" (which, I've learned recently, can be sung to the tune of "Amazing Grace" or "Joy to the World") by the Animals. I'll wait for confirmation, though. George

I only needed three notes to recognize this one! It's the big one, Elizabeth! I'm coming to join you! George

FAR too recent for me. Cool song, though. :)--> George

Three of my stepchildren came to visit us yesterday (the other was working). I thoroughly exhausted myself playing with my grandson. Best Father's Day I've had!! George P.S. Kit: great post!

Maybe it WAS Arthur Fiedler. Did you ever SEE Arthur Fiedler conduct? It was impossible to follow him! I think the percussion of the Boston Pops did all the work while AF swatted at flies! :D--> George

You would think a song about Tarzan and Superman would be right up my alley, but I haven't the foggiest idea what this song is. George

Well, two days without a guess. I think we need another clue, Belle. George

"Spy Kids"? George

Maybe she meant "Roller Boogie." Linda Blair was really looking cute back then. Of course, Raquel Welch in "Kansas City Bombers" was fine, too! George

No.. Joey Levine's name is on the music. I just don't know if he was in Reunion. You're up, Belle. George

"Chaplin"? George

Right, though I think of it as being by Reunion. Was Joey Levine the lead singer? George

I wonder if concerns about plagiarism would keep TWI from pushing a copyright suit. Can you honestly say that PFAL is TWI's, when most of it came from other people? George

"Once upon a Time in America"? George

Try this one (it's a lot more recent): B.B. Bumble and the Stingers, Mott the Hoople, Ray Charles Singers George

It was "I Wonder Why" by Dion and the Belmonts. I think that this is the epitome of doo-wop, surpassing "Blue Moon," "Get a Job," and even "Mr. Bass Man." I Wonder Why George

I guess I missed all that a year ago, Belle. From the thread you linked, it seems that LTS has gotten a lot bolder in its stance on PFAL. As far as the copyright business is concerned, I can see how LTS might be able to sell PFAL outside the States, but it still should be illegal in the US. And yes, Jim, the copyright was on the tapes of PFAL. George

When I was in graduate school, I was a teaching assistant for one of the freshman chemistry classes. At the end of every semester, I would speak with the instructor about individual grades, and if someone was just below a cut-off, I would usually give a good reason to move the person up. And the instructor would do so. One semester, I had a student with a 69.0 average. The cut-off for a C was 70. The instructor was surprised that I didn't try to move this student up, but I had good reasons: the pupil did none of the homework, rarely showed up for class, and -- obviously -- didn't study. This person had expressed a desire to be a science teacher. Hopefully, I was able to change that. George

Indeed. Does "Rural Free Delivery" just mean the same thing as "postman brings mail to your home"? (As opposed to, I imagine, going to the post office to get it.) George

Sorry, Trefor. No bells ringing here. :(--> George

No doo-wop fans out there? --> Here's (almost) the rest of the song: When you're with me I'm sure you're always true When I'm away I wonder what you do If no one gets it by this evening, I'll try another song. George
