Thoughts on Election Day, 2008

Nov 4th, 2008 by deedee

Election Day, 2008. While waiting to hear the first results of the election, I decided to up date the blog, something I haven’t done for awhile. Since I last wrote, my memoir, Vinyl Highway, won two awards, the first as a finalist (autobiography/memoirs) in the 2008 Next Generation Indi Book Awards and secondly, a finalist in the National USA Book News Best Book Award Autobiography category. I’ll be reading excerpts from Vinyl Highway with several other authors on Sunday, November 9^th at the Barnes & Noble Los Angeles Store at the Grove at 2pm.

Also, Michael and I will be singing as Dick and Dee Dee at the Ultimate Doo Wop Show held on stage at the Orange County Performing Acts Center on Valentine’s Day, February 14^th, 2009. That show starts at 8pm.

I want to thank all of you who are e-mailing me through the website. Your comments touch my soul and make my day. So many beautiful people out there.

Today, election day, I am reminded of how many decent, intelligent, and honorable Americans there are. Today we have a chance to change not only our country, but the world. The challenges have never been greater, but we have a potential leader that is up to the task. If all goes well, we will all know by tonight what direction we have chosen. I feel great joy this day that the right decision will be made.

Dee Dee,
Congrats on the two additional awards you have received for “Vinyl Highway”. They are well deserved as the book was great. We can’t wait for your next book. Keep on rockin & keep on writing.

I just went on line and purchased my tickets for your Feb. 14th show. I was fortunate to get center stage about 12 rows back. There are plenty of good seats left but they appear to be sealing quickly. I am flying out from Florida, so lets show our thanks to Dick & Dee Dee, along with the other great stars by packing the house for some great rock and roll. Remember, the minute the show starts, we become 16 again.

For those of you who had thought about going to the Cosa Mesa, Ca oldies show and didn’t make it, you missed a great show. The show was well worth my trip from Florida. I remember about 47 years ago, listening to WSAY (Mike Melody) in Rochester NY, on my little GE transister radio waiting for a Dick and Dee Dee song to come on the radio. Finally I got to hear their songs performed live. Dee Dee and Michael were fantastic and brought back so many great memories to the sold out show. A very special treat was that Dee Dee and Michael were gracious enough to come out in the lobby after the show to meet and greet all the fans. It is very obvious they sincerely care about their fans and still enjoy performing. Dee Dee, thank you so much for a great evening and for being an important part of our lives.
