GIVE MY REGARDS TO DAVY


Here is the picture that was on the Cornell Club of Maryland's website this morning. See if you can recognize the person in the lower right corner (The one where you can see half the back of their head and their left shoulder). Hint: It looks kind of like a swimmer's shoulder. We went to see the Cornell Glee Club perform at the chapel of a fancy girls school near our house. They performed quite a few different pieces ranging from Ave Maria to southern gospel to african tribal to old fashioned ivy league drinking songs. Here's one of my favorites (sung to the tune of give my regards to broadway):
Give my regards to Davy,
Remember me to Tee Fee Crane.
Tell all the Pikers on the Hill
That I'll be back again.
Tell them just how I busted
Lapping up the old highball.
We'll all have drinks at Theodore Zink's
When I get back next fall!
There's a story behind the lyrics, but it's not really that interesting - just obscure references to people and places in Ithaca in 1906.
