Well done to your wife ozymandias. Pray tell me what a "silent auction is sir ? I never heard that description before..

Old Doll.

It's an auction where people buy an envelope with a bunch of numbers, all the same.  All the items are exhibited and next to each is a box or small bag.  If you want the item you take a numbered slip of paper and put it in the bag/box.  When the auction starts the auctioneer randomly pulls out a slip of paper, reads the number out loud and the person who had the envelope with the number, gets the item.   Some people also refer to it as a "Chinese Auction", Why, I don't have a clue.   But, this style is used for fund raisers.  In this case the funds went to my daughters graduating class trip.

Old Doll.

The concept is pretty simple.  The people involved get donations from area businesses or individuals, either items or gift certificates.   You just have to be watchful for junk that people will want to dump on your event.  (used tv's, computers, obsolete stuff, etc.)   You open up a couple of hours before the auction, serving food and beverages and allowing folks to browse and decide what they want to go for.  Usually everybody comes away with something.  The envelopes can hold say ten slips of paper with a number.  The envelopes can go for 5-10 dollars each (or UK equivalent)  It's a lot of fun.

Numb bum#2 here Ms. Lena. I'm also numb from the ears up.
This song and "Over the Rainbow" were voted the two best songs of the 20th century. I forget who did the voting.

Re: Oldie But Goodies

Here is a crazy one from 1958. For me it brings back memories and I cannot help smiling when I hear it, even the title is a tongue twister: One Eyed, One Horned, Flying Purple People Eater.

That is a beautiful song by Brook Benton, Old Doll.  And I've always liked Moon River, Roger.  Here's a good one from Air Supply.

Re: Oldie But Goodies

I feel the same as you, Old Doll.  I just found it odd that Willie has songs like that.  Very unusual.
