Thank goodness, someone from among my acquaintances also gets pedicures and
manicures! I started getting them perhaps six or eight months ago, and I
surely wish I had started sooner.
On the subject of Bobby Vee, it seems to me I heard that he had a falling
out with his producer, Snuff Garon, who in the mid 60s experienced quite a
bit of success producing Gary Lewis and the Playboys.
Thanks for the reply, Linda. Enjoy your Monday and your week.

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!
Linda G.

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.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3177119/Nuggets0801.zip
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.
