Let the celebration get started And the banners all unfurl Tomorrow is a day to remember It's the birthday of Mister Earl.
Dixie Jane would not find a new beau She's just not that sort of a girl But she would fly the miles it would take For a dance with Mister Earl.
It's memories you'll make With champagne and cake As we give the dance floor a twirl Happy Birthday, dear friend, and many, many more To the man we call Mister Earl.
In December of 2007, after many years on the west side of Los Angeles (and at least a third of those years spent stuck in traffic on Pico Boulevard) my family settled into a happy little house in South Pasadena. This daily blog covered almost 5 years as I put down roots in my new home town -- and almost 5 more as I settled in and became a South Pas old-timer. Here it is...my time capsule of South Pasadena.

WOW - the power of imagery!
He might be singing Mother Nature's Son.
If you didn't see Paul McCartney at the White House on PBS the other night, you should see it next time it's shown.
What a stunning photo. I love it but I can't place where it was taken. The high school maybe? Arroyo?

Thanks again!
Actually, he really was playing a Bream-ish classical piece. COol, huh?
Welcome, =!

Let the celebration get started
And the banners all unfurl
Tomorrow is a day to remember
It's the birthday of Mister Earl.
Dixie Jane would not find a new beau
She's just not that sort of a girl
But she would fly the miles it would take
For a dance with Mister Earl.
It's memories you'll make
With champagne and cake
As we give the dance floor a twirl
Happy Birthday, dear friend, and many, many more
To the man we call Mister Earl.
Wow, Dixie Jane! That's wonderful! I can't imagine I'll get anything better than this poem. Thanks so much!
Classical? How wonderful. You find the neatest things L.
