| BONNIE OWENS-EXCUSE ME FOR LIVINGWed, 07 Jan 2009 21:53:36 -0800 by oldcountrytunesBorn Bonnie Campbell in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Bonnie Owens was a country music singer who was married to Buck Owens and later Merle Haggard. Mainly most people know Owens for these two previous reasons but in the 50s and the 60s Bonnie Owens was a singer/songwriter in her own right. She met Buck Owens when she was only fifteen. They played in a band in Mesa, Arizona and then later were married in 1951 and moved to Bakersfield, California. They eventually divorced but moving to Bakersfield jumpstarted both their careers in music.[edit] FameBonnie Owens' first recording was a duet with Fuzzy Owen called "A Dear John Letter" and was on Mar-Vel Records #MV-102 and dates about 1950. Side B contained a song titled Wonderful World. Bonnie and Fuzzys A Dear John Letter was not a remake of the 1953 Jean Shepard/Ferlin Husky version as some believe, as theirs predated Shepard/Husky by 3 years.Owens recorded on numerous labels during the 1950s and early 1960s including Merle Haggards and Fuzzy Owens own Tally label, all of which were singles. Her first album titled Dont Take Advantage Of Me came in 1965 on Capitol Records # ST-2403.Owens was named Female Vocalist Of The Year in 1965 by the Academy Of Country Music and she and Haggard were married that same year. From that point on Bonnie dedicated her time to Haggards children and his career, touring with Merles band The Strangers as a backup vocalist.Little known to many is the fact that during the early stages of Bonnie and Merles careers together, Bonnie was the headliner, and Merle, the up and coming (and underlining) new star.Owens and Haggard divorced in 1978, and after a brief hiatus, she continued touring with him.She had hits on the Country charts in the early 1960s with the songs "Why Don't Daddy Live Here Anymore?" and "Don't Take Advantage Of Me". In 1965 Haggard and Owens recorded the song called "Just Between the Two of Us", a duet hit and probably Owen's best known hit. It was also the title song to their 1966 duet album on Capitol Records #ST-2453.In 2006, Owens died in a hospice, not even a month after her first husband Buck Owens died. She was 76 years old.

| Elvis Presley Money HoneyWed, 07 Jan 2009 21:02:52 -0800 by Jackiej61tooElvis Presley Money HoneyWritten by Jesse Stone. Elvis recorded it January 10, 1956 at RCA's New York City studios-his first commercial session for RCA. He also sang the song on The Louisiana Hayride, and the Dorseys Stage Show. Based on the strength of its appearance on the Heartbreak Hotel LP, it had a 5 week stay on the Billboard Top 100 chart, reaching #76. The single did not chart. It was the A-side to One-Sided Love Affair. It is available on The King of Rock 'n' Roll-The Complete 50s Masters, and Elvis 56, which is where this version is from. You know, the landlord rang my front door bell.I let it ring for a long, long spell.I went to the window,I peeped through the blind,And asked him to tell me what was on his mind.He said,Money, honey.Money, honey.Money, honey, if you want to get along with me.Well, I screamed and I hollered,I was so hard-pressed.I called the woman that I loved the best.I finally got my baby about half past threeShe said I'd like to know what you want with me.I said,Money, honey. Money, honey.Money, honey,If you want to get along with me.Well, I said tell me baby, what's wrong with you?From this day on our romance is throughI said, tell me baby, face to faceHow could another man take my place?She said,Money, honey. Money, honey.Money, honey,If you want to get a long with me.Well, I've learned my lesson and now I knowThe sun may shine and the winds may blow.The women may come and the women may go,But before I say I love you so,I wantMoney, honey.Money, honey.Money, honey,If you want to get along with me.

| Magic vs. HawksWed, 07 Jan 2009 20:20:37 -0800 by NBASeason2009Dwight Howard had 23 points and 19 rebounds to help the Magic defeat the Atlanta Hawks 106-102.ATLANTA (AP)?For three quarters, Orlando hardly missed. In the final period, nothing seemed to go.Fortunately for the Magic, they had enough of a lead to hold off the Atlanta Hawks.Putting on a show for the home folks, Dwight Howard had 23 points and 19 rebounds as Orlando preserved a 106-102 victory Wednesday night in a matchup of the top two teams in the Southeast Division.Orlando nearly squandered a 21-point advantage, catching a huge break when Mike Bibby missed a breakaway layup that should have made it a two-point game with just under 1 1/2 minutes remaining. The Magic went nearly 5 minutes without scoring in the final period, but the Hawks couldnt hit enough shots?not even the easiest one of all?to complete the comeback.Atlanta lost for only the third time in 18 games at Philips Arena.We exhaled too early, said Howard, an Atlanta native who recorded his 26th double-double of the season. We gave them a chance to come back.Josh Smith led Atlanta with 21 points, but he missed all four of his free-throw attempts?the worst culprit in a 14-of-25 performance at the line that came back to haunt the Hawks at the end.The Magic stretched their lead on second-place Atlanta to five games in the first of a home-and-home between the division rivals. The teams meet again Friday night in Florida.Orlando was dead-on through the first three quarters, shooting better than 55 percent. The Magic were really on target in the second period, finishing off a 10-of-16 display when Rashard Lewis banked in a desperation 3-pointer just ahead of the 24-second buzzer and the game clock, sending Orlando to the locker room with its biggest lead of the half at 60-45.The Magic stretched the lead to 76-55 on Courtney Lees 3-pointer with just over 6 minutes remaining in the third and was up 86-70 heading to the final period.You cant wait three quarters to decide you want to play, Atlanta coach Mike Woodson said. We were just awful, I thought, in the first three quarters.Suddenly, Orlando went cold. The visitors went 5-of-16 in the final quarter and turned it over four times, giving the Hawks a shot.Fortunately, the Magic had the guy with the Superman cape. As his teammates struggled, Howard scored two straight baskets?one of them a thunderous dunk?after pulling down offensive rebounds.Plus, he got a chance to be home for a day.Sometimes I eat too much of my mamas cooking, Howard quipped. I had a lot of family out there.Orlando went 4:50 without scoring until Lewis hit a turnaround jumper that made it 99-92. He scored 20 points for the Magic, as did Hedo Turkoglu.We have to learn to put teams away, Howard said. We cant let an Atlanta team come back like that.Atlanta squandered too many chances to complete the comeback. Al Horford stepped on the baseline with under 2 minutes to go while trying to drive, ruining one possession, but the biggest blunder came after the Hawks knocked the ball away for what looked to be a sure basket. Atlanta Hawks guard Ronald Mur AP - Jan 7, 10:11 pm EST Bibby took off the other way, all alone. He glanced over his shoulder to make sure no one was coming up?then clanked the lay-in that could have made it 101-99 with plenty of time remaining. Bibby also missed a late 3-pointer to seal the victory for the Magic.We just didnt shoot the ball well, Bibby said. It happens. The good thing is weve got them Friday in Orlando. We let one get away here.Every Orlando starter was in double figures with 3 minutes left in the third quarter. J.J. Redick joined them by banking in a towering shot over Solomon Jones before the period was done.They came to play in the first three quarters, Smith said, and we were nonexistent.Bibby scored 17 points but was only 6-of-17 from the field. Joe Johnson, the Hawks leading scorer, was just 5-of-17 for 13 points?matching his second-lowest output of the season.Tonight, they missed, Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy said. I dont anticipate theyll do that two nights in a row. When they play us Friday, it could be a tough night.NotesAtlanta G Acie Law wasnt at the game. Woodson said he was attending to a personal matter and could rejoin the team on Thursday. Hawks C Zaza Pachulia wasnt in uniform because of the flu. Orlando G Keith Bogans missed his second straight game with a sprained right ankle. Orlando evened the season series at 1-1, the road team winning both games. Horford had 13 rebounds. Atlanta F Marvin Williams, coming back after missing a game with a sprained shoulder, scored 16 points. Related: nba com video2 | |
