Great memories of a great band. I loved all their songs but especially I Think We're Alone Now and Ball of Fire. I got to see them in concert, a fantastic night!

Can you please include the following quote from Saint Bernadette Soubirous (Movie, the Song of Bernadette, 1943 ): “I shall spend every moment loving. One who loves does not notice her trials; or perhaps more accurately, she is able to love them.” I think Lucilla would really like that :)

Tim, I think I'm wrong. After reading comments, I believe that Lucilla was Spanish (scribe mentioned she was helping him wither his Spanish) Ah, well, maybe a Christian themed quote? And after reading some of her poems, it seems she was a very proud American, as well, and enjoyed waving the red, white and blue. Hugs!

So nice of you to share the music, Tim. My girl now has pink eye and I'm 1/3 through a 4,000 word short story -- this while our tub Fawcett went nuts and I had to get a plumber in! Life! Man, I'm feeling my years...lol! Hey, seen any good movies, lately. Your movie blogs always cheer up the masses and I think many are sad right now. Maybe movies with an Italian theme for Lucilla? :) Hugs to you (I rarely facebook, hon.) xoxox

Correct Andrea...My favorite of his is 'Crystal Blue Persuasion' and 'Mony Mony" which will rock your socks off! I'm fairly sure 'I Think We're Alone Now' was their first big hit. They are still touring and doing concerts to this day...
