Quote from: Jane on June 01, 2024, 12:12:30 PMQuote from: Ron Pulliam on June 01, 2024, 08:02:12 AMThe son (Anderson) of a much-loved cousin (Ashely, my cousin Butch's daughter) is playing baseball tomorrow morning in Lexington SC. Anderson is 16 and is one of the best players in the state.The game is at 9:30 a.m., and I have been invited to go with my cousin Butch and his fiancée Sharon. The thing is, they may leave as early as 6:30 a.m. Butch wants to have breakfast at a Waffle House in Lexington, and they need to get to the Lexington High School early enough to get good parking. Teams from all over the state will be playing, so it will be a mad house.Afterward, Sharon wants to do some local shopping before returning home.I appreciate being thought of, but gosh and golly and gee.Will they mind if you nap or read in the car while they shop?No, they wouldn't. But I also wouldn't. I can shop till I drop, but I don't neerd anything.Hence, the "gosh and golly and gee" was shorthand for "I ain't goin'"!.

Although, in a way, it's easier attending a reunion that's not yours. You have no pressure to remember anyone or anything.

The attachment of photos is still broken.
So no National Day calendar for the time being.
I'm sure you are all very disappointed.
I slept rather well. Thatch got a bit rambunctious around 5:00 or so when the room began to get light; around 6:00 Annabelle crawled under the blankets with me. I must have fallen back to sleep for a bit; when I decided to get up, it was 6:45.
I, too, hate funerals. The last one I attended was for Louis Aborn, who was - as far as I'm concerned - Tams-Witmark Music Library. He wasn't an easy employer, I gathered from my my friend there, librarian Dale Kugel, who brought me in for two projects, but I loved Louis. He was always respectful and very kind to me, and I behaved silly around him. Around 1995,I was working on the rental edition of Good News when he came into Tams-Witmark one winter morning. It was a cold and windy morning and his coat was open. He asked me how I was progressing and I started singing "Button up your overcoat . . ." as I started to button his coat, then I started dancing with him as I sang. Dale Kugel look aghast, Louis laughed and went off to his office.From that point on, he and I were on friendly ground, and every time he passed me, he stopped to talk briefly. One day, when I was at Tams-Witmark, working on the debris John McGlinn left after being sacked from his recording debacle of 2001, Louis asked me what I was working on. Have A Heart, I told him. Ah, yes, he replied, Henry Savage produced that, and he headed off to the men's room.Henry Savage produced that show in 1917, I thought. I remember saying later to Dale Kugel, his mind's sharper at 90 than mine is at 55!At Louis' funeral, his wonderful son Sargent, whom I'd met at Tams-Witmark - it was a family business - introduced me to his wife, saying, Larry is the only person who ever got my dad to dance at work. Then he and I both burst into tears.https://playbill.com/article/louis-h-aborn-guiding-force-at-tams-witmark-dead-at-93-com-128556
