Julie left yesterday to see her Sara in Italy...They are together already....
Today at 5:20 PM EDT, we get to see Matt!
We are flying up to Baltimore to spend the weekend with Matt!
Tonight we will take Matt! to dinner and sit and catch up on all the things going on in both of our lives...
We understand Matt! misses our cooking....
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
So, Saturday will be spent touring the campus and the sourrounding area and then going to the store to pick up some groceries, and cooking dinner for Matt! at his apartment.
Sunday morning we will put on a big pot of gravy and meatballs and sausage so Matt! can freeze it when it is ready. Then he can have his Sunday dinners like he remembers!
It has been 6 months since we have seen Matt!
Talking on the cell phone every couple of days with Matt! just does not cut it...but this is obviously what happens...the natural progression of life...
But that does not mean it has to be easy!
As some of you might remember it was real difficult when we moved to Memphis 13 months (yup! we have been here longer than a year!) ago. How leaving Matt! behind hurt so much...sure he should have been already gone away to school, except he stayed local to play baseball at the JuCo and lived at home...but we were leaving Matt!
But today, we get to hang with Matt!
and it will be a FREAKIN' GREAT TIME!
COUCH NOTE TO SELF: GET SOME PICTURES THIS WEEKEND...
This is an oldie...but it was in our head yesterday...so
"True Love Ways" is a song co-written by Buddy Holly and Norman Petty and recorded with the Ray Ellis Orchestra in October 1958, four months before the singer's death.
It was first released on the posthumous The Buddy Holly Story, Vol. 2 in March of 1960.
This is obviously a digital recording of a vinyl release. You can hear some snaps and pops throughout, but in our opinion, it gives the entire song a warmer, feeling..
Listen closely...
You will hear Holly preparing to sing and record, saying "Yeah, we're rolling."
A piano player and trombone player start to play some notes, Holly mutters "Okay," and clears his throat.
A recordist yells "Quiet boys!" to everyone else in the room, and at the very end of the talk-back, the recordist says "Pitch Ernie" to signal the piano player to give the vocalist (Buddy) the proper note to start with.
Single releases
* USA: "True Love Ways" b/w "That Makes It Tough" (Coral Records - June 29, 1960)
* UK: "True Love Ways" b/w "Moondreams" (Coral Records - May 20, 1960)
Yes you know why
Why you and I
Will by and by
Know true love ways.
Sometimes we'll sigh
Sometimes we'll cry
And we'll know why
Just you and I
Know true love ways.
Throughout the days
Our true love ways
Will bring us joy to share
With those who really care.
Sometimes we'll sigh
Sometimes we'll cry
And we'll know why
Just you and I
Know true love ways.

Then to start the weekend...this is one of those live performances we have collected over the years. To be honest, we can only tell you that the band includes Kim Simmonds who has been the driving force of SAVOY BROWN...
Can't tell you when or where this recording was made, or even what line-up...
Might have to do a Tuneage Tutelage on SAVOY ... the lineage through and out of it is pretty impressive ....
This is labeled "Boogie", well that is what SAVOY BROWN was... a Boogie band... enjoy...
ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND...
