Little Darlin 1957 and 2007 by Diamonds and Elvis and Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs
From Eddie:
Some of you may be too young to remember... but I think you will enjoy it too...
If you were alive in 1957, and old enough to enjoy Rock and Roll, you will probably remember the group, "The Diamonds" who had just launched their super hit "Little Darlin' ". This should bring back a few memories. Ahhh yes, the good old days. I remember it well. Nice to see some things get
ting better with age!
In 1957, The Diamonds had a hit with "Little Darlin". 47 and 50 years later, they were requested to perform at Atlantic City .. This link leads to both performances.
Watch the first one then scroll down for the new one 50 years later.
Be sure to scroll to second performance. and further down for Elvis.
Furhter down for the real originals from Charlotte NC, Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs

Just to let everyone know the latest about Joan. They got the lab report back today and she does have cancer in the lymph nodes. It's not in the center of her chest but it is around the lung. The Doctor is going to try to let her come home this weekend but I really have my doubts. We can hope. She will be starting chemo in about three weeks and that will be done in Asheboro.
Her spirits are still good and I know she would love to hear from everyone. She is at Moses Cone in Greensboro in room 315. She can have visitors anytime except from 2:00-4:00.
Will keep you informed how things go.

Lloyd, Wanted to give you the latest about Joan. She had her surgery this morning. I talked to the surgeon when it was over and he said everything went great. He took out the top half of her right lung. They won't know about the lympth nodes until the report comes back but he said everything looked good.
Joan actually ate a few bites this afternoon, then told everyone to go home, she was tired I can't imagine why.
I know her good report was the result of all the prayers, so don't stop until all this is over.
Good news from Gwen about Joan.Lloyd

Will keep you updated

Lloyd, I have some bad news about Joan that I think we should share with everyone.They have found a large growing mass in her right lung. She went to the surgeon yesterday and he told her it was cancer. She goes to Wesley Long on Monday to have a brain scan and body scan to see if it has spread there. They are also going to do some kind of breathing test to see how she breathes. He told her it was not an impossible situation but very difficult. He said there would be radiation and chemo. We don't know about surgery yet. We all know that there are miracles in prayer and we need to be praying alot for Joan. I will keep you updated on how things go. I might add that Joan's spirits are very good. I'm sure she would love to get card from everyone. Gwen Jan 27, 2011

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?
