I find it good because it's another vehicle for people to meet up and get support and information. I don't know how many of the people belong to other internet support groups, but this groups has really taken off pretty well. Most of the names are new to me, which means that if they've reached out here on TMIC, it's been on a lurking basis. We all know that you can get support and information this way, but I'm for any kind of way for people to get what they need to help them adjust and deal with life with TM. Just like any other Facebook page, you can even initiate or join into a chat with people in the group as well, which I've participated in, and it's been very interesting and rewarding.

I've read some where that you can start in California, drive to New York, and you'll hear the same muzak all along the way. How sad. When I lived in San Fran (1966-97) one by one my favest stations got bought out and their formats changed. Thankfully, by then, I'd amassed a sizable collection of LPs, cassettes and CDs. So da heck with the radio, am playing my music all the time now. Are any of you joining the new Facebook e-mail thingie.....????

The stuff they have now that they call music is a shame. Save the last dance for me, was and is one of my favorites. Thanks for the memories you brought to my mind. Thanks again, Gunny, and I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!

We recorded a song called Rama Lama Ding Dong. Anyway, I was talkin with Harry Green (2nd Tenor), and Marshall Sewel (Bass) the other night, and we discussed George (Wydell) Jones who passed away two years ago. George was the lead singer with us. Marshall asked what was wrong with me using a cane, so I told him. He asked if that was anything like Polio and I told him the difference, and started complaining. He said, "Ya know, Doc Had Polio". Doc who I asked. He said Doc Pomus who's real name was Jerome Felder. I never met him but Marshall had so he related this story. Doc contracted Polio as a child way back and in his early years, and was confined to a wheel chair. It seems he and his wife were at an awards ceremony where Doc was watching his wife dance with other guys that they of course knew, so Doc penned a song for her as he watched called "Save the last dance for me". If anyone here is old enough, the Drifters recorded that back in the early 60's. Check out the Drifters on You Tube, click on save the last dance for me, and listen to the words. Just goes to show what you can do if you set your mind to it. He wrote a ton of other hits also, but this one especially hit home with me. Something I never knew before. I guess we never stop learning.
