New Year's Traditions

Well until recently they had never been done. Papa Hil used them nary a month ago even though I've had this in the buffer for two months now LMAO. They certainly deserve to be used more then one time.

One of my favorite groups of all times is The Skyliners. Todays choice by them is titled Just Another Lonely New Years Eve, which I hope none of you are having. I was unable to get the lyrics to the song.

The Skyliners are an American doo wop group from Pittsburgh fronted by Jimmy Beaumont. The original lineup included Wally Lester, Jack Taylor, Joe Versharen, and Janet Vogel. They were best known for their 1959 hit, "Since I Don't Have You". Popular covers by Chuck Jackson, Don McLean, Guns N' Roses, and Ronnie Milsap have helped keep the song in the public consciousness. They had a few other minor hits, including "The Loser" (1965) and "This I Swear". Their current lineup includes, in addition to Beaumont, Nick Pociask, Dick Muse, Mark Groom, and Donna Groom.


Awards & Recognition

The Skyliners were inducted into The Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2002.
