#54/29 Stranger In Paradise - Four Aces

#54/24 Changing Partners - Patti Page

#54/27 Rags To Riches - Tony Bennett

(gee I saw Tony at Britt about 2 years ago. - I thought these were olddies - real oldies & here he is on pg 54.)

Whew! I finally made it here! Hey, Eve, I remember some of those songs from my childhood. My Mom used to iron while listening to the radio, so when she recruited me to do the easy stuff around age 6 or 7, I heard what she had been listening to. I only have a minute to stay. Will try to get back on Thursday evening to help with some of the clean-up.

Look what I found on pg. 51 & #2 at that - our good old Tony Bennett again, Ok what else do we have from '51, that I haven't played yet:

Only 4 more quarters

That's alright June, Ruby and I are brewing up another batch in the bathtub! Should be ready soon...if only we could find a pair of dirty socks!!!

Clean-up! What clean-up, Becky?

Back to the Nickelodian - pg 55:


#55/08 Sincerely - McGuire Sisters

#55/09 Ain't That A Shame - Pat Boone

#55/16 Tweedle Dee - Georgia Gibbs

#55/17 Moments To Remember - Four Lads

#55/18 Mr. Sandman - Chordettes

This is a cyber party, with a cyber mess, on machines running windows. Thursday evening, I shall just run WIN CLEAN and eeverything at Rola's house will be sparkling clean again hehehe

Got any Margaritas? I'm getting a little thirsty.

BTW on that last set, Moments to Remember was my husband's class song in high school. I still have it on a 45.

MIZ T - only 2 quarters left of the 20 you gave me for this Nickelodian. Do you still have the keys?

EVE, yep, still have the keys. I shall leave them behind the margarita pitcher for you! Help yourself to quarters for the juke box.

Thanks Miz T - a couple of Margaritas and I will be ready to and maybe improvise a more modern nickelodian with 45s. I've got plans for these last 2 quarters - then I will go to work on this machine - when the pitcher is done I will be well oiled. These Margaritas are really good - Thanks again.

EVE, I think I saw a box of 45's out in the storage shed, if the moose has not eaten them. converting the juke box to 45's will be great! a bit younger music.

Now, I also started iorning at age 5 or 6, and listening to the radio with Mom, she always had a rodio on. guess that is where I heard some of the oldies.

Oh come on Miz T - why don't you say your Mom believed that the fetus should be raised with music and that is why the songs are familiar?

Another round on Page 55:


#55/02 Rock Around The Clock - Bill Haley & His Comets

#55/07 Sincerely - McGuire Sisters

#55/29 Only You - Platters

#55/20 A Blossom Fell - Nat King Cole

#55/14 Learnin' The Blues - Frank Sinatra

This is the last quarter going into the nickledoian - before taking on reworking the innards in my bit tipsey condition. So I'm putting it to best use with some of the best songs on these 78's before giving them to Keith to use as frisbes with his hoop and chains.
So hear (intentional sp.) goes!

#51/05 Be My Love - Mario Lanza
(A voice that is hard to match & a great song)

#53/15 St. George And The Dragonet - Stan Freberg
(this is for Jeb & anyone who loves Stan Freberg)

#53/29 C'est Si Bon - Eartha Kitt
(she is one of the truly great female performers)

#55/24 The Ballad Of Davy Crockett - Tennessee Ernie Ford
(I as many kids knew every verse of this song - this is for that child in each of us)

#55/05 Unchained Melody - Les Baxter
(for Sheila who missed it earlier - one of the greatest love songs for the ages)

Than you Jane (GA) for leading me to: http://www.tropicalglen.com/

These songs can be found on the above website - check it out.

With that, I'll sit back and listen and pour another Margarita. Anybody have Nachos - I'm getting a little hungary also.

EVE, hubby has that site too, when he is working puts it on in the background and listens away. I had forgotten it, listening to 50's music at the moment.

Boy has this party got legs, still going strong. That poor moose is looking a bit shaky on his legs, maybe that's where the moonshine went. Now he's drinking from the bathtub, what did you lot put in there? As for the cleanup later, will WIN CLEAN do or will it just crash with a stack overflow.

Fixing this has taken me a little longer than I had expected - is there another pitcher of Margaritas around? More Salsa & Chips would be great. Thanks. How'd you like that last set?

Good thing that Jumbo wasn't here, it would have done more damage than the Moose on these 45s.

vdV - Yes, we are humming along here - or just humming - care to join in. Do you know anthing about converting this nickelodian from 78 to 45? I could use some help - with the Margaritas!

I think I have it figured out - so here goes a test on 1976.

#76/37 Dreamweaver – Gary Wright
#76/01 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover – Paul Simon
#76/12 Afternoon Delight - Starland Vocal Band
#76/57 Convoy - C.W. McCall
#76/25 Take it to the Limit - Eagles

See you after mid-night Sudokuland time. Taking a long nap.

Hey we all left Eve to do it all! I have got in some more supplies, enough to lubricate a battle ship. It is pretty warm today, if anyone wants they can come back to mine for a swim to cool off, but don't bring the moose, we have enough livestock. Anyone fancy some fish and chips?

Afternoon delight! I fancy some of that.

What a way to be sobered up - finding myself in a pool. Egads!

It looks like it worked - so hear goes on another 20 quarters:

#71/01 Joy To The World - Three Dog Night
#71/11 Me And Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin
#71/20 The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down - Joan Baez
#71/31 My Sweet Lord - George Harrison

#66/75 Cherry, Cherry – Neil Diamond
#66/98 Zorba the Greek – Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass
#66/10 California Dreamin’ - The Mama’s & the Papa’s

Stella's not drowning, she's trussed and gagged!

♪♪ Joy to the world!!
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishies in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me! ♪♪
I sure remember Three Dog Night!
I'll take a margarita! MizT, quit hogging the pitcher and share!

Jeramiah was a bullfrog, was a good friend of mine. I never understood a single word he said, but I always helped him drink his wine. And he always had some mighty fine wine.

Aha! Another Three Dog Night fan!
Have a margarita, Moose!

Anybody seen the Beaver Tail lately - maybe those Bruins got hold of it in their celebration of their win over the Beaves last Saturday.

Finally, I can recognize the songs on the jukebox ... and, sadly, I can sing most of the above from memory! Many of my favorites are playing ... sigh ...

#61/26 Hundred Pounds of Clay - Gene McDaniels
#61/35 Apache - Jorgen Logmann
#61/50 There's a Moon out Tonight – Capris
#61/55 Ya Ya - Lee Dorsey

Hi, June. Did you think I would only bring one jug? Why, where I come from the cars' trunks have a false bottom so you can haul a good load. Here you go, fresh from Thunder Road. (There really is a road in my home county named that. Go ahead and Google it -- Thunder Road, Rutherford County, NC.)
