HAPPY BIRTHDAY to ABBEY ROAD—The 1969 epic album by The Beatles, Lynn Anderson, Johnny Appleseed, photographer/photojournalist (and my friend from the Davy Jones/Monkees orbit) Michael G. Bush, Carleen Carter, Craig Chaquico (good to have met you), Darby Crash (The Germs), Gal Costa, Donna Douglas, T.S. Eliot, one of my musical heroes Bryan Ferry, David Frizzell, another one of my musical heroes George Gershwin, Linda Hamilton, Dick Heckstall-Smith, Shannon Hoon (Blind Melon), Dolores Keane, Amanda Kearns, Julie London, Olivia Newton-John, OMD’s 1980 “Enola Gay” single, Ivan Pavlov, César Rosas (Los Lobos), Tracey Thorn, Stuart Tosh, the musical WEST SIDE STORY (premiered 1957), Serena Williams, and a great American singer-songwriter, entertainer, and NASCAR racing driver Marty Robbins. As one of the pioneers of “outlaw country music,” he released 500 recordings and 60 hit singles from the late 1940s into the 1980s. He’s best known for the western ballad “El Paso,” and I’m a fan of his interpretation of “Red River Valley.” I play both of those songs in assisted living homes, along with Marty’s “A White Sport Coat & A Pink Carnation”— https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qB0NM8JbYM

The lyrics portray a shattered young man who was stood up at the prom but, without saying, you know he’s going to bounce back. Marty got the visual for this song after passing a group of teenagers decked out for their high school prom. He zipped off this song in 20 minutes. His original 1957 track is premium country-pop trimmed with doo-wop and rockabilly. His creamy smooth voice owns the story, and his goal was to out-chart his earlier single “Singing the Blues,” which was eclipsed by a competing version by crooner Guy Mitchell. Ray Conniff arranged Mitchell’s international hit, and Marty insisted Ray run the session for his new song. Marty’s instincts were correct—it became his 3rd #1 hit, and it’s still on playlists and soundtracks (it’s also name-checked in Don McLean’s “American Pie”). It’s a fun vocal work-out. If you have prom photos you’d like to share (white sport coat optional), please post. Meanwhile, HB MR and thank you for your great singing and giving us so many songs.

Day 196 2018

Too tired to feel inspired today. I took this one about a week or so ago when we were getting dust all the way from the Sahara Desert! I didn’t change anything so it would show how muted and hazy the sky looked, hopefully that comes across.

Pink and White Carnations: A Charming Old Mother’s Day Custom

When I was growing up, and for many years after, every Mother’s Day my church observed a charming old custom. Before the first service that unseen army known as the Altar Guild placed a basket of pink carnations and white carnations in the narthex, along with a supply of straight pins. Each person entering the church took one of the carnations -- pink to indicate the wearer’s mother was still living, white to denote she was not. Ladies wore their carnations as corsages. Gentlemen wore theirs as boutonnières.

On Mother’s Day wearing a pink carnation honors a mother who is still living.

Wearing a white carnation on Mother’s Day honors the memory of a mother who passed away.

For three years now I have qualified for the white carnation. But this does not make me sad.

I have found the blessing of a wonderful mother continues even after her time on this earth ends.

SATURDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO: “White Sport Coat & A Pink Carnation”— https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qB0NM8JbYM

…The lyrics portray a shattered young man who was stood up at the prom but, without saying, you know he’s going to bounce back. The great Marty Robbins got the visual for this song after passing a group of teenagers decked out for their high school prom. He zipped off this song in 20 minutes. His original track (released today 4/20/57) is premium country-pop trimmed with doo-wop and rockabilly. His creamy smooth voice owns the story. With this song, his goal was to out-chart his earlier single “Singing the Blues,” which was eclipsed in a competing version by crooner Guy Mitchell. Ray Conniff arranged Mitchell’s international hit, and Marty insisted Ray run the session for his new song. Marty’s instincts were correct—it became his 3rd #1 hit, and it’s still on playlists and soundtracks (it’s also name-checked in Don McLean’s “American Pie”). Itook a shine to the song after playing it in assisted living homes. It’s a fun vocal work-out. If you have prom photos you’d like to share (white sport coat optional), please post.
