We Danced The Storm Away 2/8/2013
It had been raining off and on all day.... When we departed the Elks this evening, all the clouds were gone!!
Donna got a kick out of Leon's picture on the iPad
Lee joined us this evening.... Running away from three inches of snow
Marcia and Leon

The girls hit the floor... The boys got to rest
"We have to dance... It's cold tonight!"
Elvira gets the girls up and moving
Bill Maloof joined Larry Fresch this evening
Great drums
The music goes round and round
We got him to smile
Stories are being told
Thanks to Bob, we are here this evening
Bob tries to remember... See the smoke?
"Hey... Donna!"
Did You Know? - "Donna" is a song written and sung by Ritchie Valens featuring the 50s progression. The song was released in 1958 on Del-Fi Records. It reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart the following year, becoming Valens' highest-charting single. It was written as a tribute to his high school sweetheart Donna Ludwig, now known as Donna Fox.
"Donna", the second Ritchie Valens single released, was the A side of the influential and more famous song "La Bamba".
Oh, Donna, Oh, Donna
Oh, Donna, Oh, Donna
I had a girl
Donna was her name
Since she left me
I've never been the same
'cause I love my girl
Donna, where can you be? Where can you be?
Now that you're gone
I'm left all alone
All by myself
To wander and roam
'cause I love my girl
Donna, where can you be? Where can you be?
Well, darlin', now that you're gone
I don't know what I'll do
All the time and all my love for yo-ou-ou
I had a girl
Donna was her name
Since she left me
I've never been the same
'cause I love my girl
Donna, where can you be? Where can you be?
Oh, Donna, Oh, Donna
Oh, Donna, Oh, Donna
"... and there was this big gigantic green monster..."
"They think
Donna was making this up!"
"Why yes... I am sure I saw it!"
Speaking about the Avalon Ball
"We will drink to that!"
"Here is to wine.... Ed, can you do this?"
Ed gets an "A" for effort
"If I could figure out how to attach them!"
By 10:30 the floor was empty but the music continued
