Kid, it's been over twenty years, but, hear me out, I think, I'm beginning to see how you operate these days: 1-You warm up Norris to the idea of giving you his Stuyvesant Yearbook, in part, because, he knows you're going to do some kind of Production for the King on his Birthday, 7/1 along with Rod Gilbert 2-You start scanning Cunningham and Stuyvesant pictures because it amuses you and you still think me and or Donny would be amused; Donny with the Cunningham one from the year before. 3-You send a Top Five Party Song List out to DK and cc a few others who may or may not respond. 4-DK, responds, with some good choices using your Parameters and the fact that you saw Gary US Bonds near Penn Station this week on a cell phone. 5-You get the Happy Hank picture shown here as the Party actual appeared each day in his Classroom from 1972 and you incorporate your Top Five Party Songs to it...Was it the Tickle Bug that had such a profound effect on you all these years later ?
1-Having a Party - Sam Cooke , Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes2-A Quarter to Three - Gary US Bonds3-Runaround Sue - Dion and the Belmonts4-Nothing but a House Party - J Geils Band5-It's My Party - Leslie GoreIraInspired somewhat by seeing Gary US Bonds on a cell phone a block away from Penn Station the other day, I submit for consideration: TOP FIVE FAVORITE PARTY SONGS, songs that have party in the title or song or songs that sound like a party was going on and captured by the recording.
