This past Sunday Janaree Nagel hosted a get together at Buzzy’s Country Store in memory of her parents Gloria and Pinky who were interred in Arlington last Friday. This is from her FB page:
Charlie Simms and Pinky were best friends all thru and after their many years of service in the Navy. Here is a photo I took of Charlie posing Sunday with Janaree and Bonnie Watson:
It sent me to the files where I also found this 2011 photo I took of Charlie and Pinky at Buzzy’s with their wives Dot and Gloria (click here.)
The occasion here was Charlie’s 85th birthday celebration at Buzzy’s. Afterwards, the 4 of them went out to dinner. (For another post I did on what a great guy and good neighbor Pinky was (click here.)
My thanks to Janaree and all who attended Sunday’s tribute to Gloria and Pinky. I was very honored to have hosted it at Buzzy’s a place where friends still meet and enjoy each other’s company. Do it while you can.
Music-wise there are not too many “Pinky” songs out there but I have dropped the tune Gloria on you several times previously. Here then is a behind-the-scenes explanation discussing the three chords E, A and D that make Gloria and so many other songs so great (click here.)
