Friday (11/15) was the birthday of the late, great, William Edward John. He was known more commonly by his stage name, Little Willie John. To celebrate, his biggest hit, which has been covered by quite a few artists since Little Willie passed away in 1968. (And, a song which reportedly always got @fairgambit and Mrs. Fair out on the dance floor when they were young.)

unrelated - but it's food.

My Dad turned 88 today and He, Mom, my sister and Hubby went to Franco's where Fred and Maria took great care of them. May be the best food in PA. Just sayin'...

Those reports were inaccurate. While Mrs. G could cut the rug, I, sadly, could not, and so in our many years together we danced slowly, or not at all. Ah, wait. One time...at a wedding in 1975, I attempted the Hokey Pokey and stumbled badly as I turned myself around. When I got out of the Emergency Room, I told Mrs..G, "never again," and so it has been.:)
