Saturday 9: Stand by Me
1) "Stand by Me" is one of the songs John Lennon did at his last public performance back in 1975. First recorded by Ben E. King, "Stand by Me" was also covered by Mickey Gilley and Otis Redding, among others. Can you think of another song that has been recorded and then re-recorded by someone else?
Well, at 7 am, all I can tell you is that I have never re-recorded a song, but I can sing someone else's lyrics loud and proud!!! 2) The lyrics say, "Whenever you're in trouble, you can stand by me." Tell us about someone you know you can count on.
My sister. 3) While "Stand by Me" was solo Lennon, John is best known as one of the Beatles. Which group do you listen to more often -- The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?
not a fan of either. sorry.
4) Lennon liked to tell how, when he and Paul McCartney were teens, Paul's father used to discourage friendship between the boys. Paul ignored his dad's advice and the result is the most successful songwriting partnership of the 20th century. Tell us about a piece of advice you're glad you ignored.
I cant seem to think of any now. my advice givers were pretty wise. 5) John loved cats. When he was a teenager, he first met his favorite, a stray he named Tich, in the snow and gave the cat a safe, lifelong home. John was very proud that Tich lived to be 20 years old. Tell us about a pet who has a place in your heart.
My Spikey. He is my comfort when ever I am down, or tired or crying... and , if you pray, would you pray for him today? He has an awful ear infection and it makes me cry watching him go through this. my dogs are like my children, and I hate seeing any of them suffer.
6) John unsuccessfully tried hypnosis in his quest to stop smoking. Have you ever been hypnotized?
yep, and I am still a chunk monkey! 7) John has been inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. What Hall of Fame would like to see yourself in?
Da Bakers Hall Of Fame !! http://cheesecakesnmore.blogspot.com ;) 8) John had a passion for slot cars and raced them on an elaborate track in his game room. What games or toys do you still enjoy?
I still love family card night. Laughs and family, what better! 9) John wrote about his jealous streak. What personality trait of yours do you wish you could change?

I have a bit of a jealous streak myself. So now I don't get too close and I don't get hurt! VIOLA!
we used to do Sunday afternoon scrabble at my ex boyfriend's grandmother's house. I loved it. I'm trying to get that going at my house, but everyone always has plans. I'm going to keep trying!
ReplyDeleteAw, I hope your dog gets better. I know what you mean about having to see them suffer. It's heartbreaking. :(
ReplyDeleteHope your puppy feels better soon.
