Subject: RE: happy birthday Jerry Rasmussen From: Joe Offer Date: 14 Jun 04 - 06:11 PM Happy birthday, Jerry! I hope I don't get castigated for moving you to the non-music side of the Forum. As an apology, let me sing you a Milwaukee birthday song:
Hoch sollst du leben, Drei mal hoch! The grammar mistakes are because this is the Milwaukee version, not actually from Germany... -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: happy birthday Jerry Rasmussen From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 15 Jun 04 - 07:32 PM Here's a song I wrote last year to say thanks to Jerry for his songs - I posted it before, but here it is again: Now the day had been long and the day had been rough And one way and another we'd all had enough. When Kitty came home in a terrible mood We looked at each other, and we knew what to do. In a time like today there is just one escape - So we dug out the record we'd made from that tape. And we put on the record, and it started to play. And a change in the music brought a change in the day. For when Jerry was singing it happened once more, And soon Kitty was dancing around on the floor. And as Jerry was singing a handful of songs, Kitty was singing along. Will you sing me a song? Will you play me a tune? Will you tell me th'old tale of the Man in the Moon? Will you give me a reason, so I can pretend It'll all be all right in the end? Yes I'll sing you a song. And I'll play you a tune. And I'll tell you th'old tale of the Man in the Moon. And I'll give you a reason to make and to mend - It'll all be all right in the end. And when Jerry is singing it happens once more, And soon Kitty is dancing around on the floor. And as Jerry is singing a handful of songs, Kitty is singing along. Now I made up this song 'cos I wanted to say "Thank you, my friend" and this seemed the best way. With your tunes and your songs and your banjo and all It seems like you're standing and playing in the hall. And though we've never met, and most like never will, I count you a friend, lives just over the hill. Though the hill is an ocean, and a long ways to climb Still the music can make it, and it works every time. For when Jerry is singing it happens once more, And soon Kitty is dancing around on the floor. And as Jerry is singing a handful of songs, Kitty is singing along. |

Subject: RE: happy birthday Jerry Rasmussen From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 18 Jun 04 - 10:22 PM And a very belated thank you for all your kind wisehs! I spent my birthday in the Badlands (of South Dakota) .. that sounds like the title of a song. My wife Ruth and I left for Wisconsin on June 1st and had a wonderful week there, celebrating my mother's 97th birthday (almost 97 times.) Then we took a bus out to Rapid City, South Dakota, rented a car and explored the Black Hills, Mount Rushmore, the aforementioned Badlands, Deadwood, Wall Drug and the Crazy Horse Monument. Then, we drove off to Wyoming, went to Devil's Tower, then west over the Big Horn Mountain Range (and got caught in a snowstorm) We spent a 12 hour day in Yellowstone before heading back to the Midwest, and finally arrived back here a few minutes ago in Connecticut. I had 92 e-mails awaiting me, which led me to find out from c-flat and Jeff that this thread was here. All the while we were on the trip, I was wondering what was going on with all you folkks, and thought the best way to find out was to start a thread of my own to get caught up. Think I'll do that before I collapse. I have a couple of thread ideas percolatingtoo, that I'll add tomorrow. It's good to be back. (I still have a very unco-operative computer, trying to type messages in chat rooms.. It will type two or three letters and then stop, and I have to click the space to enter the message to type another two or three letters before it does it again. Icome in when I'm feeling particularly obstinate and have the patiend to stumble my way through short answers. I miss the chat cats... maybe I'll just plow my way through again tomorrow night. Love to all.. Jerry |
Subject: RE: happy birthday Jerry Rasmussen From: Bobert Date: 18 Jun 04 - 10:34 PM And a belated Happy Birthday to Mama Rasmussen, as well... And love back atcha, Jer and Ruthie, and now, Mom... Bobert |
Subject: RE: happy birthday Jerry Rasmussen From: ranger1 Date: 18 Jun 04 - 10:39 PM Jerry, Happy belated birthday! In honor of your birthday, our osprey chicks hatched! Thanks for your great threads, they really helped me keep my sanity earlier. ranger1 |
Subject: RE: happy birthday Jerry Rasmussen From: GUEST,Art Thieme Date: 21 Jun 04 - 11:31 AM And this man, Jerry, sure helped me to keep mine (sanity) through all those insane surgery years before I was finally properly diagnosed with MS. I will forever be grateful and thankful for having him in my life. Art |
Subject: RE: happy birthday Jerry Rasmussen From: Peace Date: 21 Jun 04 - 03:25 PM Art, It seems the man has a gift for that. I was going through a tough divorce, facing lots of other issues, and giving serious consideration to some ugly thoughts. Jerry was on me like white on rice. I have no idea to this day how he knew I needed help, but he did. And he 'wrote' me through what may have been the roughest period of my life. I too will be forever grateful and thankful for having him in my life. Bruce M |

Subject: RE: happy birthday Jerry Rasmussen From: GUEST,Art Thieme Date: 22 Jun 04 - 12:00 AM ...but she has really changed Mr. Rasmussen--and for the better. Before her he was just one Ruthless guy. ;-) Art |
