Hello friends. I've been dormant for three months. Even while dormant I had to move around a little. Twice a month I resupply hay bales, get shavings for the stall, other horsey supplies. I also feed and water the horse when wife is busy, at doggie school, at an event, etc. Mostly I stayed in bed last 90 days for no reason. Wait...there was a reason...I just don't know what it was. As best as I can remember I spent day by day watching cable and reading. And that's OK. So what? The trouble is that gradually I lost interest in everything. Spring came and I got the mower out and spooled up. Somehow that made me feel stronger. Then I had a Dr. appointment and I had to interact for that and it went OK. Now that I am closer to normal I may be able to move around more. Enough geezer gripes. Just stay thankful. Next: 2 different songs "Be My Baby" and "Don't Worry Baby"
I have home made oldies CD's for my car that my wife has made for me through the years. I had lost one for a while and forgotten it and it's a strange one. The CD had about 9 selections and 3 of them were a song called "Don't Worry Baby" I had the original Beach Boys version which I used to play over and over to try to learn the song. I had the cool cover version wife pulled off internet. It was Laurie Morgan and it was excellent. The vid has Laurie in the studio with the real beach boys as back up. It looks like each of the Beach Boys is in love with her. The third version was "Don't Worry Baby" by none other than Ronnie Specter. The Ronnie Specter version is amazing. When you hear her voice you know who it is and it just makes me smile every time. I had my wife print up a 1964 B&W 8x10 head shot and an 8x10 of the Ronettes. Ronnie is on my wall. After doing some surfing the net I found out all about Ronnie and Phil Specter and the Ronettes And I found out that Brian Wilson: the leader of the Beach Boys and the writer of Don't Worry Baby: wrote the song for Ronnie Specter.
Ronnie has passed away this year in January. She was 78.
I just read her auto- biography. It's an easy read and the music memories and stories are very charming when they are not creepy scary. She had a very interesting life. The session pros in the studios called her "the voice" Her first and biggest hit went to no.1 on the charts. It was "Be My Baby" She was seventeen. Phil Specter promised her his world but denied her own world. Quite a story Happy Spring and Summer. LLITTY :::::+:::::
