    "Hey... Donna!"
    
Did You Know? - "Donna" is a song written and sung by Ritchie Valens featuring the 50s progression. The song was released in 1958 on Del-Fi Records. It reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart the following year, becoming Valens' highest-charting single. It was written as a tribute to his high school sweetheart Donna Ludwig, now known as Donna Fox.
"Donna", the second Ritchie Valens single released, was the A side of the influential and more famous song "La Bamba".
      Oh, Donna, Oh, Donna 
      Oh, Donna, Oh, Donna
      
      I had a girl 
      Donna was her name 
      Since she left me 
      I've never been the same 
      'cause I love my girl 
      Donna, where can you be? Where can you be?
      
      Now that you're gone 
      I'm left all alone 
      All by myself 
      To wander and roam 
      'cause I love my girl 
      Donna, where can you be? Where can you be?
      
      Well, darlin', now that you're gone 
      I don't know what I'll do 
      All the time and all my love for yo-ou-ou
      
      I had a girl 
      Donna was her name 
      Since she left me 
      I've never been the same 
      'cause I love my girl 
      Donna, where can you be? Where can you be?
      
      Oh, Donna, Oh, Donna 
      Oh, Donna, Oh, Donna
      
    
 
    "... and there was this big gigantic green monster..."
    
    
 
    "They think
    Donna was making this up!"
    
    
 
    "Why yes... I am sure I saw it!"
    
    
 
    Speaking about the Avalon Ball
    
    
    
    
 
    "We will drink to that!"
    
    
 
    "Here is to wine.... Ed, can you do this?"
    
    
 
    Ed gets an "A" for effort
    
    
    
    
 
    "If I could figure out how to attach them!"
    
    
 
    By 10:30 the floor was empty but the music continued
