Hello!

I hope your summer has been going great. I can't believe that my kids
already had to start back to school. If you want to hear the new song
based on their new dress code, check out an initial version at
www.javamusic.com/kimbuchanan. It's called . . . "Dress Code".

are hosting their first house concert on
their beautiful property in Person County . This concert will feature
Meghan Cary, an incredible talent, and performer from NYC. (

perform you will be hooked.

The show will start at 4:00 pm, Sunday afternoon, so arrive around
3:30. Weather permitting, it will be an outdoor concert, and you are
encouraged to bring your blanket, and a picnic, wine & cheese or
whatever you would like to munch on. Also, bring a desert to share.
We will provide coffee and tea. If it rains the event will be moved
inside.

There is no cover charge, BUT we will ask you for a donation (

HERE'S SOMETHING TO REFLECT ON. . . . .
THINGS GRIPED ABOUT IN 1959

(1) "I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are,
it's going to be impossible to buy a week's groceries for $20."

(2) "Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be
long when $5000 will only buy a used one."

(3) "If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A
quarter a pack is ridiculous."

(4) "Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime
just to mail a letter?"

(5) "If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be able to
hire outside help at the store."

(6) "When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would
someday cost 40 cents a gallon."

(7) "Kids today are impossible. Those duck tail hair cuts are
ridiculous
looking. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long
as
girls."

(8) "Also, their music drives me wild. This 'Rock Around The Clock'
thing is nothing but racket."

(9) "I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since
they let Clark Gable get by with saying 'damn' in 'Gone With The
Wind,' it
seems every movie has a 'hell' or a 'damn' in it. What's next I ask
you?"

(10) "Soon you won't be able to buy a good 10 cent cigar."

(11) "Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract
for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if
someday
they'll be making more than the president."

(12) "Do you suppose television will ever reach our part of the
country?"

(13) "I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances
would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters now."

(14) "I'll tell you one thing. If my kid ever talks back to me, they
won't be able to sit down for a week."

(15) "Did you know the new church in town is allowing women to wear
slacks to their service?"

(16) "The drive-in restaurant is convenient in bad weather, but I
seriously doubt they will ever catch on."

(17) "There is no sense in going to Ohio anymore for a weekend. It
costs nearly $15 a night to stay in a hotel."

(18) "No one can afford to be sick any more, $35 a day in the
hospital is too rich for my blood."

(19) "If they raise the price of coffee to 15 cents, I'll just have
to drink mine at home."

(20) "If they think I'll pay 50 cents for a hair cut, forget it.
I'll have my wife learn to cut hair."

(21) "Did you know that our baby sitter informed us she wants 50
cents an hour? Kids think money grows on trees."

Hope to see you next Friday at the Six String Cafe!
