Comments: I wish Tommy Bar the very best on his surgery. He will feel like a new man once everything starts working right again. Is anybody else tired of this March wind? It'll blow the hat right off your head, and your hair along with it. 
Comments: Want to let you know abt Tommy Barr - I just got off pho w/Charles Moss ('66). He drove Tommy to hospital for angiogram(sp) & is w/him now. Can't do stints! Is going to have to have quadruple heart bypass surgery!! Taking him off blood thinners & will schedule surgery for next wk. Charles is waiting for him to come out of anesthesia so can take him home. After burying his sister Tue, he could really use our prayers more than ever!!
Comments: Bill, I spent some time and money at "Up Your Alley" too. Wonder what happened to the "Lovely and Talented James" (the third member of the band)? Have a friend who is the only person I ever heard correctly sing "Old Ben Lucas" and won a pitcher of beer every time he went. Someone in our group almost always won the jalapeno eating contest. That place was a lot of fun and those guys were very funny.
Comments: I was unsure about some of it, too, Bill. I take it the stories are written by "cool" people. I never was all that cool.
Comments: OK, Lynell, I read that, but I'm not at all sure what it said.
Comments: Bowley & Wilson fans might like this website http://bowleyandwilson.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30&PN=10
Comments: Boley and Wilson did move to their own bar a few blocks away from Up Your Alley but it only lasted a few years, then the band split up. Don't know what happened to Boley, but John Wilson worked with me during the 80s and early 90s at Barry's Camera & Video in Dallas. I was a buyer and marketing guy and he worked in our advertising dept. He still did a few singing gigs. The last place I remember was at a mexican restaurant in Rockwall on the shore line of Lake Ray Hubbard.
Comments: You know Bill I was having kids in the 70s, 70, 71 and 73. Sure did not have time to frequent any bar, ha. In fact did not go to one until I turned 30 years of age in East Texas, I believe it was called The Orange Blossum, that's where I learned to two-step!
Comments: Bill, Whatever happened to Boley and Wilson? I remember also when they were a few blocks further north on Greenville.
Comments: Did anybody else ever frequent Up Your Alley (a bar in Dallas off Greenville and Yale Blvd) back in the 70s? Boley and Wilson and their band had a hilarious version of "I Did It My Way".
Comments: Paul Anka also wrote the song "I did it my way" for Frank Sinatra.
Comments: Well that should have been Lonely Boy....close enough being the point he wanted company... He had 28 albums and 147 lyrics to his credit. http://www.allthelyrics.com/lyrics/paul_anka/ Wonder what the average is today for the top performers. Does anyone remember when people thought Beth Midler was strange? Lady GaGa made me thing about that earlier today.
Comments: I remember Paul performing that song and I remember him being credit for a number of times. He wrote such good things and I think a lot of them are so commonly heard and yet not known he did them. Many think of him as a singer but he was/is a good writer as well. I can still "I'm Such a Lonely Boy" - wonder how many gals wanted to be sure he was not lonely.... Of course there was Diana - well memories, memories...
Comments: Michael, no info about our  Paul could be useless!
Comments: How many of you ladies who have a crush (or had) on Paul Anka are aware that he composed the theme for the tonight show. One night when Johnny Carson was off Bill Cosby as host had Paul on the show and Paul sang the theme to the tonight show. Yeah...I retain such useless information.
Comments: There was nothing on TV the other night so I watched the original "The Parent Trap" with Hayley Mills. I had forgotten that Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello sang the title song. I haven't heard anything about Annette in a long time since she was diagnosed with MS. I saw Justin Beiber interviewed on the sideline at the NBA All-Star Game. He was asked if he was given an allowance to which he replied that he didn't have an allowance, but rather a "limit". Can't even imagine what that "limit' might be.
Comments: Should have mentioned - the commentary indicated there has been noted improvement as a result of Granny guiding him. Maybe she was the one that told him to get a haircut too - who knows? Lynell, we shared the same crushes. Still like Paul Anka even though I have not heard much on him in years. Could he make you sway or what - such wonderful music but then the era was that way too. KVIL plays songs from the 60s at 6:00 pm on my drive home from work that I enjoy - early 60s more. I actually like more of the songs from the 50s. Memories.
Comments: Yeah, well, Brittany was that young when she started and look what fame and fortune did for her..and Elvis too BTW............hope J B's grandmother is whipping him into shape and keeping him grounded...NOT!
Comments: I think the Justin B. kid is exactly whose picture I'd want my 12-year-old grandchild hanging in her room (if I had one.) My love interest at that age was Ricky Nelson, followed by Sal Mineo, followed by Paul Anka. Still carry a bit of a torch for Paul, even though I quit him at about 13 when I learned he was Canadian and I knew that country was just too cold for me. Besides, I couldn't speak Canadian. All these people made it without American Idol. Remember that world?
Comments: He looks better with that new hair cut of his. He was cute before but much cuter now that you don't have to fight the hair to see his face. Heard on the radio this morning that his grandmother is now on the road with him teaching him to be a little more of a gentleman and knowing his manners. Good for Grannies and their relationships with their grandsons!
Comments: Okay! That's him! Thanks! I should be in Timberlawn! haaaaaaaaaaa! AND, I don't get it about him...he doesn't look very macho to me...just sort of, well, cute....LOL!
Comments: You sure you guys are talking about the right Justin, just wondering if it was Justin Bieber, young girls are all over this one, he is 16 years old.
Comments: Is that Timberlawn???
Comments: Well, of course I meant to say Timberland. But you knew that. Phyllis, c'mon over. There's no telling what's for dinner tonight. I'm thinking Popeye's Love to meet you for lunch sometime!
Comments: I want to come eat at Lynell's house!
Comments: Justin's handlers were smart to name him after a shoe men love. Maybe I'll change my name to Stiletto (like I wouldn't break my neck in those at this age, though I wore them in my stoopid early jobs.) I've met a few guys who'd wear them.
Comments: This was a fabulous N. TX Saturday, with windows open to enjoy the balmy breezes. Baked chicken with fresh cranberry sauce, saffron rice, pickled beets and simple L&T salad with homemade bleu cheese dressing. Valentine candy for later. I love being home.
Comments: OK...I think it is Timberlake??? What is the big deal??? And, what does he do besides send little girls into delirium?
Comments: Justin who?
Comments: I didn't have a letter jacket, but I always the Z was cool |
