She was a Pearl..... Ahh for the good old songs and the days that produced them Anything was possible before the World turned sour. When did it change? Somewhere between Nat King Cole and the Beatles?

Red sails in the Sunset... shining far out to sea... oh carry my loved one...home safely to me. River of no return by the light of the silvery moon...there'll be blue skies over..the white cliffs of Dover...tomorrow you just wait and see... Some Sunday morning... Ahh well, its all a matter of choice afterall, but I can't help feeling that the world had a different outlook back then, things were a little steadier and progress was in its place. Optimism just around the corner. And she was called "" The Yellow Rose of Texas "" I lie, her name was........... westwind. This will always be a special Thread for me, and not because we have reached 500.
