HOWDY DO
by: Eighty Bug

JIM SWAN

(BIRTHDAY)


Works in the yard EVERY day

​

ShopS at Trader Joe's

 

Saves ALL broken items for "spare parts"

 

Doesn't throw ANYTHING away even if you get him a newer version (same wallet for decades)


Favorite greeting is "Howdy-Do"

​

HOWDY DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

                   

There was a swan named Jim with a plan 

He liked to take things in the hand

He was a tinker of sorts with a quick retort

“I’m sure I can use that again”

He went to the Traders Joes stand

Howdy Do there Joe don’t you know

I need to get stuff for dinner with the fam

but now I have go

 

A swan name Jim had a plan

he liked to take things in the hand

He was a tinker of sorts with a quick retort

“I'm sure I can use that again”

 

As this Swan named Jim mucked along

he scoured for treasure on his walks

There's a robots heart

we can use for spare parts

when we need to make a robot song.

Spare Parts /// Spare Parts ///

 

Now Swan spends his days in the yard

watching the kids play hard

Amy & Kaden & Roy and Eli

grandad and dad un matched

Howdy DO Howdy Do Howdy Do

Howdy DO Howdy Do Howdy Do

SAM

SAM  PRESS
(80th BIRTHDAY)

Husband, father, brother, uncle

 

Excellent psychiatrist, World traveler.

​

In the early 1960s he  rode his motorcycle from Baltimore to San Francisco to go to the Haight-Ashbury district where he was intimately involved in starting the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic. 

​

He and his wife Suzi and their very young son Brahm were part of a VW bus caravan which went from Eastern Europe to India where they landed in Pune at the ashram of Osho Rajneesh, becoming Osho sannyasins.

 

Later he and Suzi lived for over 35 years in a rural area of upstate NY at Soaring Hawk, a 75-acre farm, where they hosted many 3-day summer solstice parties, utilizing the wood-fired sauna on the banks of their ½ acre pond. 

 

Although Sam is of East Coast Jewish heritage, Buddhism became an integral part of his life and he became a Tendai Buddhist priest.

 

Sam loves classical music and Indian food. His son now lives in Thailand and, alas, Sam is a widower.  He has a little dog named Cottonball and he rides a special tricycle. 

 

Being of relatively good health, he is the first Press male to reach the grand old age of 80!

Song For Sam
by: Eighty Bug

4 score 20’s and 40’s the sixties now eighty!

Life filled with brilliance and love galore and travel adventures in patience

​

Do you know who I am    

I am Sam     

And I’ll ride my trike from Baltimore to San Fran

​

We can meet me on the street ….at eight    

Ashbury and Haight …. At the clinic

They all know who I am 

Who I am 

 

This is a song for you Sam

Husband to Suzi and father to Brahm

Not afraid to jump in a van 

across the whole world to enlightenment.
 

But a light has a path of its own and Suzi and Sam and Brahm they moved on 

And followed a Soaring Hawk to a place that they would call home.

         

Spending endless days healing minds and spirits 

nights by the fire on the banks of our feelings        

And love is the music and I can still hear it    

So many moons so bright and so brilliant

​

A lover of music, a foodie, a traveler with Cottonball by his side                                

A teacher, an adventurer off it all.

With the patience of a priest but that came later

           

This is a song for you Sam     

Just want you to know how much we all love you

brother and father and uncle and mentor and helper and everyone's friend.

       

This is a song for you Sam

About your amazing life, love and friends             

I'll sing it again and again    

We all love you sam.    

We all love you sam.

Hero Song

Oregon Episcopal School

(150 year anniversery)

HERO SONG
by: Mike Danner

The theme this year is ... superherOES


The school is celebrating 150 years.

A hero isn’t someone, who
possesses nerves of steel
Her courage comes from
inside his story’s very real
Don’t have to be invisible or see through walls of clay
No need to fight the bad
guys in some science fiction way

They’re not the ones in comic books, flying through the air
No, a hero is simply the one who takes the time to care
And so to you who’ve shown us what it means to be so strong
We’d like to show some love to you with this simple song

Thank you for bein a friend
Thank you for lending a helping hand
To all of you we send out a rousing cheer

Thank you to the OES
Inspiring us to be our best
As you have done for 150 years

Thanks to the teachers and staff
Someday we’ll share a hug and a laugh
But until then...
Thank you for being a friend!
