Hi Walt,
What a big dummy I am! That song is from the Bobby Vee Rarities two disk CD,
and most of the material on it wasn’t released. I’d say that came out in either
1964 or 1965. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the nuggets when I get
home from Nation’s and from my appointment with Tammy and Larry, who do an
excellent job at cutting my hair and who do great pedicures and manicures. You
can sure tell it’s the first, huh, with all the money I’m spending today!

Subject: [ourplace] Monday Morning Nuggets for August 01, 2016
I have a confession to make. I'm jealous of all listers who live in Canada. It's
just not fair! You folks managed to elect Juston Trudeau, and had to put up with
only an eleven-week political campaign to do it!
If there's an advantage to the arrival of August, it is that the political
conventions are done in the U. S., and only a little more than three months of
campaigning are left. When all is said and done, we will have endured something
like a year and a half of this stuff.
I'd say five more nuggets would be a sufficient distraction from politics for
the moment. As usual, the Dropbox link comes first; then, the track list.

01 Gloria_Estefan_Live_For_Loving_You
This one gets the nod as my favorite by Gloria. I think it came out in the early
90s. But by that time, I had pretty much stopped keeping close track of release
dates.
02 Bobby Vee, I Don't Want To See You Anymore
I'm confident Linda Gehres could confirm this. But I suspect this one came out
in 63 or later. It most definitely is an example of how Bobby's voice had begun
loosing the Buddy Holly quality that had served him so well during the first
four or five years of his career.
03 Jackie DeShannon - A Lifetime Of Loneliness
Jackie didn't write this one. It was instead composed by Bert Bacharach and Hal
David.
04 The Dolphins - Hey-Da-Da-Dow (1964)
I remember this. But I also recall that it wasn't a huge hit for the group.
05 Stan Freberg, Wunerful Wunerful
In the fall of 57, when Lawrence Welk's T V show was a favorite of my parents
and many others, this amazing Freberg parady was also extremely popular.
Next week's nuggets were supposed to have been the last before my computer-free
vacation. But the effect of recent storms on Wisconsin roads has caused us to
cancel this year's trip to the Green Bay vicinity. In addition, it's now seeming
to me that to take September as my break month would rather neatly accommodate
some more house stuff we're planning. Stay tuned. I'll let you know for sure,
and it won't be too long 'til I do it.
In the meantime, enjoy your Monday, and have a good August.
