eyes onward, it is more beautiful.

“Lifetime of Loneliness” is a fine song, Linda, albeit a bit different from
Bacharach and David tunes made popular by Dion Warwick and others.

Wow, Walt, I think you’ve unearthed a Bobby Vee song I don’t have and haven’t
heard of before, but yes, once I hear it, I’ll be able to at least guess when
he may have recorded it. As always, thanks for all of the nuggets. Plus,
you’ll be giving me a better copy of “Lifetime of Loneliness” as mine’s in
mono.

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.
