Dear writers, we need your imagination, your narrative creativity and your lively thinking. We need these to create spaces of freedom and authenticity, within which divine grace can make the promise of consolation and peace resound. https://t.co/FEmCrdQ392

@GenTXer2 Yes definitely agree! Don’t like the melody either. I like his early hit, Put Your Head on My Shoulder, and My Way (sung by Sinatra). The Times of Your Life wasn’t bad, but this one? Ugh. The Circle Jerks redeemed it on their “Golden Shower of Hits” medley.

[MarkDavid @MarkfEditing]

@PhilScribe @GenTXer2 Yes, and Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden.

@softtail65 Elton John…some were over-the-top but always creative.

[MarkDavid @MarkfEditing]

@Larry_C_Fitz @daveweigel I think Billy Joel was the most egregious oversight on that list.

[MarkDavid @MarkfEditing]

@DevorahLeah Well done! Glad you’re back on the board. I was hoping for 3

@MixMaster1313 Oh one of the four solo albums…The Warren Kime album also had A Man and a Woman, So In Love, & What’s New? Never heard of him until coming across him from an album search earlier in 1967. Songs were from 1964: no. 7, Roy Orbison—Oh Pretty Woman, no. 8, Dionne Warwick Walk on By

[MarkDavid @MarkfEditing]

@MixMaster1313 Yes! I’m about to sell it—I have been selling off my collection. Had about 1,000 at one time! The other was 🍓 Alarm Clock Incense and Peppermints. 11/11/67 now—listening to Warren Kime and His Brass Impact Orchestra—Explosive Brass Impact Vol. 2, with Georgy Girl and a few other

@GenTXer2 @Leebst1630 Nice one

[MarkDavid @MarkfEditing]

@bassetgreg @GenTXer2 How many degrees of separation would it take to connect the two? I’m guessing four!

[MarkDavid @MarkfEditing]

@DevorahLeah Sorry Donna! The same fate nearly befell me, but I got away with another 6.

@GenTXer2 And the girl in the corner said boy I wanna warn ya it’ll turn into a ballroom blitz! One of those songs I played that I was kinda surprised my mom seemed to like when I played it! She was into Robert Goulet and the New Vaudeville Band, but sometimes she would surprise me😆

@GenTXer2 Everybody is a ⭐️ Sly & the Family Stone!

@MacFarlaneNews Thank you for your reporting. As a lifelong golfer who moved to the DC area in the early 90s and lived on a shoestring budget, I loved being able to go to Hains Point and play a round for under $10 back then, and sit on the patio afterward and watch guys putt for dough…

[MarkDavid @MarkfEditing]

@DevorahLeah Another sad loss. I’m glad I listened to him as much as I did, again not as a Yankees fan, but as a superb play-by-play broadcaster. I missed his unmistakable resonating voice and knack for turning a phrase—as well as song references and great home run calls (The Grandyman can!)
