When You Are Old
By William Butler Yeats

" When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars. "

And so, my Friend

cherish

this irreplaceable

Day.

And thank YOU

SO Much

for spending some of it

here with us.

Dick Clark: Cultural Giant

" We're goin hoppin
We're goin happin
Where things are poppin
The Philadelphia way
We're gonna drop in
On all the music they play
On the bandstand-"

Barry Manilow

After school,

every kid in Philadelphia

watched the Teen-Agers

dance on BANDSTAND,

broadcast from 47th & Market

in West Philly.

It was our local show

before the world discovered it

back in the early days

of Rock & Roll.

"They look like they are having fun.

I can't wait till I'm a Teen-Ager!"

Me at age 7

"But imagine how much fun

it WILL be,

when YOU get there!"

Mom

Prophetic Mom!

Woodstock

made the cool kids on

Band Stand

look old fashioned!

Dick Clark

was VERY important

to American & World 

Pop Music,

to our culture,

for DECADES.

Many of our musical icons

only succeeded

because of his support.

Thanks Mr. Clark - 

' World's Oldest Teen-Ager"
