He's got his foot dug down into the sand. Could it be another attack of the

Mary, don't you get it? John Denver WAS a groovy dude, otherwise
he wouldn't be John Denver, would he? Only John would actually
pick out trunks with large orange flowers on them. He wore only
the grooviest, brightest, wild, far out clothes possible. And he
looked GOOD. I didn't like it when he would dress too
conservatively (like the 1985 Grammies, yuck). I don't like guys
who dress conservatively at all, really. Very boring.

And of course, back in "The Days"...(ahem)....I had hair down my back parted in
the middle, bell bottoms with fringe, Indian shirts, a "dog collar" with a
peace sign on it (still have that one)...and a beaded bracelet.
I was very young....late grammer school/early high....and then came disco.
If I dressed like that today they'd put me on the FlightDeck. LOL!

Cynthia, I am old enough to have been a part of that whole "groovy" scene. So

that time! Nowadays I'm pretty darn groovy in my conservative clothes! LOL

I never did pick on John, Cynthia. Where did you read into my words that I
picked on John? I called the photo cute and the shorts groovy. For those of
us who lived in the 1960's, to be called or have your clothes described as
'groovy' was considered a compliment. It meant you looked good or were good.
Linguistics and history lesson at no charge. ;-)

Hi Gloria and Dot!!
I still "love" the Golden Oldies....I was the youngest of 3, so I have a
sister who is almost 9 years older than me ....she had a turntable and listened
to the likes of Gene Pitney, Leslie Gore, Little Anthony and the
Imperials...but she missed the "poodle skirt" era.....unless they were popular
when she was in grammer school?
anyways....I got in trouble for getting Elton John's "Yellow Brick Road"
album for Christmas and playing "Saturday night's all Right for Fightin"....my
parents thought it was God-awful.
Pretty mild compared to todays music, ya think? :)

I think that Leslie Gore was popular in the early 60's. Poodle Skirts were popular
from probably the middle 50's right on into the early 60's.
LOL! Yes, Elton's music was pretty mild compared to what is, unfortunately, out
there now! Course, my parents thought that Elvis was awful! There is far worse
out there now then Elvis or Elton could have ever dreamed of being! I don't
consider either one of them as being awful!

etc. are all terms that we had back in the 60's. Actually, a term they use now
"cool" is a term that was used back then. Nothing new under the sun. In areas
such as terms, clothes, history does tend to repeat itself! So many of the
clothes *now* all remind me of the 60's! Hey, that's *cool* and *groovy, man*!

Hey, Cheri! You bet we were mild! Remember songs being "banned" from the
radio because of their "suggestive" lyrics? There was one called "Honey
Love". The bad lyrics were: "I want it when you hold me tight, I want it
in the middle of the night, I want it 'cause it feels so right, I want
your honey love". Whew. Hot stuff for the fifties!
Another was "Work With Me Annie" followed the next year by "Annie Had A
Baby". I don't think we really cared what the lyrics were just as long as
it was good to dance to. Shades of Dick Clark and American Bandstand!!!

"Dream Lover" sung by Bobby Darin; as well as
"Lonely Boy" by Paul Anka. Also topping the musical
charts that year were: "Mack the Knife" by
Bobby Darin; "Stagger Lee" by Lloyd Price;
"There Goes My Baby" by The Drifters; and the
ever popular "Venus" by Frankie Avalon.
Looks like 1959 was really Bobby Darin's year! Bill Pinkney of "The Drifters" lives

I dunno, Dot.....back in about 1960, my Dad brought that home in about 3 months
(with OT)...and he was a cement mason (Commuted back and forth into NYC).
The 3 BR ranch house they bought in 1960 was $18, 500.00.
Today, that house is worth about $275,000.
The rents here for a 1 BR are about 1200-1500+ a month,,,I think it's
outrageous....I don't think that wages are any where near what they should be
for the very expensive cost of living.....at least thats what it's like in this
area. (Which is a VERY expensive place to live)
Cheri:)
allth...@ftc-i.net
I grew up in Florida, and our house did not cost $30,000. This must be an average
figure they have come up with as there are so many variables depending on what part
of the country you live in. The prices of houses today are pretty well outrageous
no matter where you live, but worse in some areas then others. A nice average
house in this area (central South Carolina) is around $80,000 to $90,000. That
would have 3 bedrooms, great room, kitchen, 2 full baths, garage, 1600 to 1700 sq.
ft., and sit on about 1/2 acre of land.
What you are paying for an apartment up there is ridiculous. You could rent a
*house* here for around $500 to $600 dollars. One right up the road from us
rented the other day for $595 and it has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, fenced in back
yard, carport, etc. Course, I know that wages here in the south do not compare
with the north. So, there is the difference.

Yes, you're right about the "wages"...'cept that I find that you can only keep
up with the out of control rents and all if you have a good paying job and
work in NYC.
And it *IS* the area here, unfortuantely....when I lived in Syracuse for
several years, I rented an entire top floor of
a house for 410.oo a month....it would be triple here. (And my salary was
about on par with what I've been able to make HERE...so go figure!~)
One of the problems is that there is no affordable housing for us "regular
folks" here.....and my generation moved out a long time ago. Most live further
upstate and commute, which is what I'll probably end up doing eventually. It's
taking me 45 minutes to get to work NOW, since my new job is on the Jersey
border, and the Parkway is under construction!
O well.....someday I will move...but I have too many responsibilities here for
now.
And someday I'll meet that rich John-Denver type guy who will whisk me away
from all this, and take me to Aspen.
LOLOL! Until then....."I owe, I owe, it's off to Work I go.." lalalaalala....

Oh, yeah. Seems like I danced thousands of miles to 'em! Before Bill
Haley and the Comets and Elvis, the only good dancing music was blues/rock
music from the likes of Bo Diddley, Jimmy Reed, Fats Domino, Muddy Waters,
etc. Once the "black sound" started being sung by white performers, the
whole industry was turned upside down and it became mainstream. I still
smirk when I remember everyone predicting that rock and roll was a "phase"
and wouldn't last. HA! Guess we showed 'em!

Hmmmmm. Let me see. Someone who's first name is John? ;O) Gloria
Absolutely Cynthia Marie
OH! Let me guess! Did he sing about peace and love and
understanding??? Did he wear metal rimmed glasses??? Did he
die a violent and sudden death???
You must mean. . .
John LENNON!!!!!!! Yes! You are right. Dot's grandchild will
greatly benefit from John's timeless classics with and without
the Beatles. "Imagine" (I *love* this one), "Give Peace a
Chance", "In My Life", "I Am the Walrus", "Stawberry Fields
Forever", "Jealous Guy", "Instant Karma!" etc etc etc, will all
do wonders for the baby and stimulate his/her brain development
so she/he will grow into a better person. Just a hint: Avoid
anything that involves John's lovely wife Yoko, as that will
bring the opposite effect.
Of course you could not *possibly* have meant John Denver as
everbody KNOWS that John was his middle name. His first name
was Henry. I think he rather looked more like a Henry than a
John myself.

John Devner! Henry is a nice name, too. He just wasn't known as
Henry! Now, my doctor, is known as Henry, but I don't call him Henry
either. He is Dr. Moses to me. So, best to stick with who people are
known as.
I liked some of John Lennon's earlier music, but he isn't really one of
my favorite "Beatles" or even singer/songwriters. I do like Paul
McCartney. Just watched him on a BBC show last night. If you don't
have the CD "Flaming Pie" by Paul you might want to give it a try.
Really a good one.
Think I will stick with some nice soothing John Denver tunes for my
grandchild, but then there will be lots of other artists thrown in there
as well. Plus, whatever "soothes" her is what she will hear! I have to
be able to get this child to go to sleep so Grandma Dot can do other
things!

Have the prospective parents play Mozart while Mom is still carrying the
baby. Then play Mozart in the delivery room. My daughter did that and it
was one of the most serene, beautiful and touching births you can
imagine. And the baby was so calm and content.
AND, Mozart's music supposedly stimulates that portion of the brain that

Now John's music should make him/her excel at humanitarian/environmental

I think of Henry as a blond haired name; I don't know, it just
seems to fit. I usually think of John as a brown haired name,
mainly because of John Lennon and other Johns I've known.
>I liked some of John Lennon's earlier music, but he isn't

>my favorite "Beatles" or even singer/songwriters.
WHAT?!? :( It seems like I can't find someone who likes ALL the
singers I like. People either like one guy, or two, but dislike
someone else I like. John Lennon was my favorite Beatle. I
didn't know he died until six years after the fact, when my mom
just blurted it out when talking to my brother. I was just
beginning to learn about the Beatles then. I have a love for
the strange and bizarre; things that make you go "what the
fuh?" John Lennon and Bob Dylan were really great at that.
John Denver too, in his own way. I don't really understand how
you can like John Denver but not John Lennon. "Give Peace a
Chance", "Imagine", "All You Need Is Love", do you really think
Denver disagreed with any of that? "Anthem - Revelation" sounds
like it was inspired by "Revolution". I'm somewhat disappointed
that John did not sing any of John's songs. All the Beatles
songs he sang were written by Paul. Of course Paul was a great
songwriter, but I rate him higher on his compositions rather
than his lyrics. His lyrics into the 70s became pure
dreck. "Jet", "C Moon", yuck.
>I do like Paul
>McCartney. Just watched him on a BBC show last night. If you
don't
>have the CD "Flaming Pie" by Paul you might want to give it a

>Really a good one.
Yes, I think I will. "Young Boy" is a good song. But the thing
with Paul is he has used and abused his voice so much over the
years, it is really starting to go. He had a fine voice
before. Oh I would have moved Heaven and Earth to hear Paul
McCartney and John Denver sing together!

I was raised on John Denver music and look how I turned
out! :) :) I think side one of Back Home Again is particularly
good for kids. Lot of fun songs like "Grandma's Feather Bed"
and "The Music Is You".
allth...@ftc-i.net
Now there is a thought, but I don't think this one will work! lol!
If anything gets played it will probably be George Strait. Dad is a huge
fan. Long cry from Mozart, but still some good music, and George S. is a nice
guy. I might be able to sneak JD in there! Dad does love "Eagles and
Horses"!
I tell you a CD I would like to play during delivery and that is Pete
Huttlinger and Chris Nole's CD "Colors In Time" which is all instrumental. So
very relaxing and something our daughter will need at that time! Plus, the
songs are all JDs except for the two that are Pete and Chris's and they are
both good songs.

I really haven't known many Henry's personally, Cynthia. Now, as far as
actors, Henry Winkler (The "Fonz" in Happy Days) is a definite brown
haired guy. My doctor (who is a Henry) has black hair. John is such a
popular name there are probably lots of guys named John who do have
brown hair, as blonde hair does not appear to be the norm in men after a
certain age.

until six years after the fact, when my mom just blurted it out when
talking to my brother. I was just beginning to learn about the Beatles
then. I have a love for the strange and bizarre; things that make you
go "what the fuh?" John Lennon and Bob Dylan were really great at that.
John Denver too, in his own way. I don't really understand how you can
like John Denver but not John Lennon. "Give Peace a Chance", "Imagine",
"All You Need Is Love", do you really think Denver disagreed with any of
that? "Anthem - Revelation" sounds like it was inspired by
"Revolution". I'm somewhat disappointed that John did not sing any of
John's songs. All the Beatles songs he sang were written by Paul. Of
course Paul was a great songwriter, but I rate him higher on his
compositions rather than his lyrics. His lyrics into the 70s became
pure dreck. "Jet", "C Moon", yuck.<
You can't go wrong the CD "Flaming Pie" for pure Paul McCartney. I love
"Little Willow" on this that Paul wrote after the death of a friend for
the sadness felt and for the healing for this ladys children. Beautiful
words. The booklet with this is very good, too. Wonderful picture of
his wife, Linda, at the end. All the photos taken in this are done by
Linda, including the one at the end.
John did record Lennon/McCartney tunes, Cynthia. One of the first was
"Mother Natures Son" on the original "Rocky Mtn. High" LP. One of the
others is "Let It Be" on the CD "Reflections: Songs of Love & Life". I
don't dislike John Lennon's songs, but he is just not my favorite. I do
like the song "Imagine" and a few of the others. I mostly liked him in
the early years.
>Oh I would have moved Heaven and Earth to hear Paul McCartney and John
Denver sing together!<
Yes, that would have been wonderful. I don't believe they ever did.

That one's almost a bit *too* sad. I have that on my Diana,

By the end of 1964, Lennon and McCartney were pretty much
writing songs separately, despite them being credited to both
guys, Dot. Rule of thumb: The Beatle who sang the song was the
one who wrote it.
One of the first was
>"Mother Natures Son" on the original "Rocky Mtn. High" LP.
What do you mean? That was one of the LAST Beatle songs John
recorded. The first one was "She Loves You" with The Mitchell
Trio. I don't know if this was on Violets of Dawn or not, I
know they sang a version on Alive! It's very different from the
original; it's slow and tranquil. Then on John's first solo LP
Rhymes and Reasons, he did "When I'm Sixty-Four", on Whose
Garden Was This he did "Eleanor Rigby" (kick ass version!)
and "Golden Slumbers". On Poems, Prayers, and Promises he
did "Let It Be" and "Junk", which is a song that was rejected
from the White Album and Paul recorded it on his own on *his*
first solo LP McCartney. Finally, on Rocky Mountain High John
recorded "Mother Nature's Son" which was written by Paul while
the Beatles were visiting the Maharishi in Rishikesh, India.
They had just attended a lecture the Maharishi gave about the
unity of Man and Nature, and then both McCartney and Lennon went
and wrote songs about it. Paul wrote MNS and John wrote "Child
of Nature". While MNS made it on the White Album, CON was
discarded, and later John wrote new words to it and recorded it
as "Jealous Guy".
One of the
>others is "Let It Be" on the CD "Reflections: Songs of Love &
Life".
Is this the same as the PP&P version?
I
>don't dislike John Lennon's songs, but he is just not my

Ah well. His style was not for everybody. Lennon could be
abrasive and harsh at times.
I do
>like the song "Imagine" and a few of the others. I mostly

>the early years.
As a Beatle? Yes, his early songs *were* great. I was
listening to the Beatles all night last night. I was impressed
by Lennon's sheer emotion and power in his voice. Oh sure, he
wasn't as well trained as Denver (not many pop singers are), but
he was unique; he had a style all his own.

>Best,

A shame considering all the many duets that both guys did (eg
Placido Domingo, Michael Jackson). Ah well. I can imagine it
in my mind though "Here I'm sitting all alone, mother nature's
son. . .)

I can see where this would get old, Cynthia!

>>You lost me here. Are you saying blond guys dye their hair brown

No, just that blonde hair will usually naturally turn darker as you get
older. Blonde hair doesn't appear to be as common as darker hair either
in the world in general either.

That is interesting. I had noticed that in the credits that there was a
lot of times that Lennon's name was always mentioned first, than
McCartney's. "Mother's Nature Son" is that way.

"Rocky Mountain High" lp was recorded in 1972 and was a hit after John
first became a big hit in 1971 with "Country Roads". In otherwords, he
was just getting started. "Mother Nature's Son" was on this album. I
really wasn't into the "Mitchell Trio" and had really forgotten what all
John did record of the Beatles tunes at other times. "Eleanor Rigby" is
not one of my favorites that the Beatles recorded or John's version for
that matter.

I agree. Out of all of the Beatles, John Lennon appears to be the most
controversial. Paul is still my favorite and I like the way he comes
across during interviews. The interview I watched him on the other
night on the BBC channel was very good. He is looking much better since
Linda's death. I love his sense of humor.

All John's and Paul's songs with the Beatles were credited as
Lennon/McCartney no matter who actually wrote them. I just
happen to know that all the Beatles songs Denver sang (maybe
except for "She Loves You" which was written back when Lennon and
Paul did write together), were written by McCartney. Maybe Paul
was his favorite Beatle I guess.

*gasp!* Even people who dislike Paul McCartney have to confess
that "Eleanor Rigby" is a great song. I never recorded it from
the radio (I have a huge collection) but I found ER to be
quite interesting. Did you know that there was a real Eleanor
Rigby who is buried in a cemetary in Liverpool? When Paul was a
teenager, he liked to hang around the cemetary at night. He
claimed that he just "thought up" the name "Eleanor Rigby"
because it sounded good to him somehow. I think it's likely he
saw the name on the tombstone and it stuck in his subconcious. I
consider the lyrics to be greatest that Paul ever wrote.
Whenever I hear John Denver's version, I can't help but dance and
spin all over the room in a dizzy spazz.

I just never warmed up to this song. Believe me I have tried. Now,
that is interesting that there really was an "Eleanor Rigby". Paul
liked to hang around the cemetary at night? Hmmm. Well, guess you
could come up with some interesting lyrics and song titles by doing
that! ;>)

I thiink this must be a mispeak sort of thing, Dot. Paul looked terrible for
over a year after Linda died and for the first time, he actually looked his
middle age. He was drawn and extremely sad and when he appeared in public one
of his children was always there. He met Heather and has brightened up quite a
bit but I heard just recently that he sobbed openly not long ago when he heard
the song he wrote after Linda died played in a club. I want good things to
happen for Paul as he was a devoted and loyal husband and wanted more than
anything for Linda to continue to be by his side for the rest of his life.
Linda's death did not improve how he looks at all! Love, Sue (who knows you
did not mean this as it is written!)
Laura
>over a year after Linda died and for the first time, he actually looked his

My brother in law had the pleasure of sitting
next to Paul McCartney on a plane to London last year.
He was impressed by how down to earth Paul was, offering a crossword book he
was bored with, etc.
Paul asked Myron (my BIL) why he had been in Tokyo, and Myron explained his
business, etc. Then Myron expressed that
he was glad to be on the last leg of his trip
because he missed his wife.
To which Paul said "So do I".
There was a few moments of silence, then
Paul put his hand on Myrons arm and said
"It's ok, I didn't mean to diminish your own
happiness, and you didn't make me think
of her, I do that on my own"
Poor Myron felt horrible for a bit, he couldn't
believe he had said that without thinking, but he says Paul was quiet for a
bit, then
back to chatty.

What a genuinely lovely statement. So poignant! I hope that Paul can
find happiness without Linda by his side.

Very true, Cheri. Laura, your story gave me a few tears and many goosebumps.
