Kevin,

What a small world...."Sweet, sweet Connie" is the first cousin of one of my very best friends that I have known since college. You are right about Connie not being known for her scholarly apptitude.

My Mother-In-Law taught Sweet Sweet Connie in NLR. She wasn't a very good student to put it mildly!

These are the three songs that remind me of our senior year of high school:

1. Love Train by the O'Jays.
2. Brandy (You're a Fine Girl) by Looking Glass
3. Dueling Banjos by Eric Weissberg & Steve Mandell

Every time that Coors Silver Bullet commercial plays Love Train, I can't help but think of our senior year.

My vote for most screwed up song: In the Summertime by Mongo Jerry.

Good choices, Michael, but I did not realize you were an "anti-Mongoite." Personally, I like the whimsy of "In the Summertime."

One night while playing Barnyard's Billiards, OJ got so excited while playing pool and listening to Love Train, he ran his cue through the ceiling of Mark's house.

Mark was pretty mad about it.

Wow - this is really weird. I married "sweet, sweet Connie." And she is a ding-dong.

Hey, guys! I am once again Malia Parkinson (married Rob again and are trying it one more time) and am living and working in Flippin! I've lost ALL my email addresses and was thrilled to find this link again! Hey, if anyone has Michael Erwin's address, send him mine and tell him to email me! maliap@flippin.k12.ar.us
Becky Sue, the song that will always remind me of the fun we had has to be ALL and any of Cat Stephens. I never hear him that I don't remember playing Spades at UCA. Man, we had fun, probably should have gone to class a little more but who knew? ha!. Wonder if CP and or SL reads these messages? HA.
ANYWAY, it was so nice to just see everyone's names again. Joe Morris is the band director here. He's well-loved by the whole faculty and it is SO nice to see a friendly face.

Congrats on your marriage. I am excited for you both and I know you will be very happy. YES....I KNEW you had to say Cat Stevens. I almost put him down but I thought you would and I was waiting to see!

Malia, I am very proud for you. You are one of my favorite people of all time. Thanks to everyone, for checking on me when I had my heart attack.

Becky: Nah - just some of my dry wit. I found it amusing that everyone had a connection to Connie (but me).

Busy - mostly work-related. Two boys in college and one will be in 9th.

RE: songs; it's very interesting to see (almost) the dust flying out of our memories. Fortunately we have a killer classic rock station here in Houston, so I hear most of those mentioned frequently. I think it was Malia that brought up Cat Stevens. On this summer's sailing trip, we spent three nights at Sunshine's - the best beach bar in the world (on Nevis). They blare music, mostly of the Marley-type. Then they put on a "Best of" CD of Cat Stevens. Had to hit iTunes and download back at home.

Richie - while on the trip we hit the same nude beach that my mother-in-law bribed me with a beer to walk with her on. Thought of you.

Jim

Jim- You probably should explain why going to a nude beach made you think of me. We can't have people speculating. It had to be the beer or was it the mother-in-law? Will you make a Razorback football game this year?

Come on, Richie - fess up about you and nude beaches.

Truth is, Richie expressed to me his inability if envision himself with his mother-in-law walking a nude beach. So the record is straight.
