Sorry, I missed the Luncheon and I was told no one has any news or pictures for our blog. I understand 22 people were there and going forward we changed the meeting date from Tuesday to Wednesday which will make it even harder for me to make.
If you do have news or pictures, let me know. thanks don

Rock N' Roll Quiz from Ben Witherington
Folks, here is a fun exercise. Select your favorite Musician from a pair and see what Ben Witherington III has to say about your choices. Start off with the quiz at the first link below, then move on to the analysis of each set of ten selections. Confusing it sounds the way I described it, but just check out the first and second link below and it should be clear(er!).
By the way, Ben Witherington is a world-renowned Theologian, and I have known him and his parents since about 1963 beginning in High Point. His Dad (Ben Jr) moved to Charlotte with BankofAmerica (well a predecessor) and I renewed our friendship through work and in my Sunday School Class. In the meantime, young Ben was getting educated at UNC and then earning a PhD and other degrees elsewhere. He now is on the faculty of a Bible College and travels around the world lecturing. He and I have been to Panther and UNC games together, and he has many interests as you will see from his analysis of musicians. He is a good guy and friend.
It begins . ..you, by manipulating the rockster machine can import your favorite bands to play for you for a day. So who would you choose?

For those of you who remember and for those who missed out on the experience of the 50's.

C.J. Browne
Other than Alex Coffin, no other friend was as supportive of my athletic endeavors as CJ. I always loved it when he used his favorite nickname for me of "Pro." Even without that, he was a good guy . . .don

C.J. and I were friends and for a while somewhat close. Of course I remember the football but a couple of other things. His dad was a constable and participated on still raids. Whenever they found a ‘good’ still his dad would keep a couple of half gallons for himself and to give away which he stashed in a closet under the stairs. Once when C J and I were going to W C ( Women’s College) in Greensboro to participate in an all state chorus for a couple of days we went into this closet and poured a little off several jars which we took with us. Just a wonderful memory of the fun of our youth. God Bless, Gus

Merry Christmas
This rendition of White Christmas was recorded by Clyde McPhatter and the Drifters in 1953. It was #2 on the charts in 1954. Animation is by Joshua Held in 2002.
White Christmas was written by Irving Berlin for the Movie "Holiday Inn" and recorded by Bing Crosby in 1942, and received the Academy Award in that year. Crosby recorded it again in 1947, and that recording has become the standard. It was also featured in the 1954 movie White Christmas with Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, and Vera-Ellen.
White Christmas is the biggest selling Christmas song of all time.
