I recall taking my son to see Nancy Wilson perform at USC in the early 2000s when he was still in high school. We sat in the first row and he was thrilled that we were close enough to read the sheet music on the piano. She recorded the song “Let’s Go Where the Grass is Greener”. It was written and composed by my son’s vocal coach and family friend, the late Howlett Smith. Howlett told us royalties from that song brought his family (with 6 kids), completely out of debt. Wow! RIP Fancy Nancy!
Loved this movie especially when Tom says there is no crying in baseball it was nice to see they had a baseball league for women way to go peaches may they rest in pease
Steve, your camera footage never fails to reveal colorful and beautiful structures along with remarkable Southern California landscapes. It also, at times, catches some interesting activity.
Thanks DrJB! Catching those spontaneous and unplanned moments and activities is always my favorite part. Happy accidents and fun surprises always make my day :-)
I grew up in Rockford and my grandpa you to tell me stories about the Rockford Peaches! He was a coach for them when the first started out. Omg! Thank you for showing me where Dottie is buried! You made my night with vlog!
Have seen "A League of their Own" several times, just watched it again recently. Of course "There's no crying in baseball!" is the most quoted line from the movie, but my other favorite line was on the bus when Tom Hanks said to the house mother "By the way I loved you in the Wizard of Oz!"
Nancy WIlson was one of my Mom's favorite singers! I still have her Nancy Lp's! Her favourite song that she always got me to play was "Here's That Rainy Day". Steve, please check it out, its a great one! Thanks for this little gem of a trip!
I did play in a all girls hardball league growing up. My town decided to start it in the early 70s and I was just young enough to get in. One of the gals play ball for the Army and traveled all over the world doing so.
You're As Right As Rain, from the album All In Love Is Fair... and her version of Bonnie Raitt's I Can't Make You Love Me, from the album Love, Nancy...
There is a youtube video of Nancy Wilson winning a lifetime achievement award and Joe Williams is on stage singing The Days of Wine and Roses while Nancy and her husband are in audience driven to tears.
My grandmother lives in Rockford and she took me to the sight of the Rockford Peaches baseball team. The ticket booth is all that remains of the original stadium. But the field is still there and still being used. It’s in a rough neighborhood, but it was worth the trip. Rockford has a very rich history. Great video and thanks for sharing.😀😊
Hi Steve ! Thanks again for a fun , interesting vlog . The scenery you vlog in very beautiful , and you caught some amusing little shots eh?!! Stay safe and keep on vlogging!! Hi to Mom . Deborah. Winnipeg, Canada (. Burrrrr it's cold here ).
Wonderful vlog buddy 👌👏👍..I never did follow sports so I never heard of them.. but very interesting video my friend..I hope your mom is doing well and I pray for her and you and your family too be safe and healthy and happy 😊
I worked at the center for history. when the ladies came after the movie came out here in South Bend Indiana.. and downstairs in a large display case is their clothing ,baseballs , gloves ,and many pictures of the women’s baseball league I was lucky enough to get the ladies to sign my T-shirt the ones that came for the unveiling of the display. it’s definitely worth checking out along with the museum which is very interesting and covers a long history here in South Bend Indiana it’s at 808 W. Washington St. Along with the Copshaholm mansion Museum which was built by the Oliver family who is famous for the Oliver chill Plows , that broke up the tough earth to plant crops throughout America 😊👍🏼🖖🏼
I possess "A League of Their Own" on Blu Ray amongst umteen kajillion other titles to last several lifetimes, so either I'll have to binge-watch or avoid throwing in the towel for a few hundred yrs. The film sure must be popular as that title was screened one aft'n @ my workplace as a luncheon event in observance of a baseball season celebration. (Incidentally, Faye Dancer, depicted as Mae "All the Way Mae" Mordabito in the film, and Pepper Paire, portrayed as the character Dottie Hinson, are buried @ Woodlawn Cemetery in Santa Monica. And in regards to sports, Olympic Games diving double gold medalist Vicki Draves is interred @ FLCC as well.)
@@zingwilder9989 Inheritance, coupled w/ a collection-fetish, can do that to individuals. I'll certainly require @ least a second big screen and do a side-by-side routine, running programs simultaneously; either that or a multiple picture-in-picture arrangement.

Hall of Famee Jimmy Foxx, the inspiration for the Tom Hank character,is buried in Flager Memorial Park in Miami,Florida.. Nancy Wilson was part of the Bob Hope Show I saw in Viet Nam in 1967.
it is weird that we have so many notable graves here that i often walk right by and never even no they are there. and i agree. it will be nice one day to have such awesome neighbors right across the street :-)
My grandmothers cousin was Joyce Steele. She was a member of one of the ball teams. I have photos of her grave. She is buried in Colley, Pennsylvania. I can send them to you.
Hi Stephanie, thanks for the offer, but I am no longer sharing photos sent by viewers. It just turned out to be such an ordeal and it was just taking up all of my time. I really appreciate you thinking of me though 😊👍
Loved that movie “a league of their own.” It’s really nice seeing all the women that played in that league when we go to the baseball Hall of Fame. Thanks for this, Steve!⚾️
Hi Steve from a very chilly cold UK I have the movie a league of their own on DVD one of my favourite movies to watch hope all is well with you and your family stay safe out there on your travels steve
Hi Steve Great Video, so cool that you visited these honorable ladies. I love the movie “A Legue of their Own” may ALL those ladies from the original teams that have been summoned to heaven be at peace and surrounded by love also may the legacy the left behind be empowered by these young new generations in Women’s Baseball and Softball. Thank You Steve Blessings of Healing Love and Light for you, your mom and loved ones, Take Care Be Safe 🙏😊🙏
It’s amazing how long ago World War II was, and how there are only a small number of veterans and people who lived through those years left. When you watch movies that take place during that era, you can’t help but think to yourself that it seemed like a simpler time.
Heyyy Steve thanks again for always a interesting. Tour of the stars graves that I may have never seen. It's a cold day now. So I'm going to sip hot chocolate. And binge watch your channel. Keep up the great work be safe and hug Mom for us. 🙏🏽💖☺️🤗
Steve my uncle was in the navy during that time period he got to go to two games that had women only playing each other after the games they took any military members out to eat. That watch them my uncle met a few of them when they took him out to dinner
After the virus stuff is under control, I would love to see the Cooperstown exhibit, as I am a fan of the movie. Incidentally, I can drive to the hall of fame, in about 3 hours or so from my house.
I believe there is a documentary on Netflix about the relationship between these two women and what they went through throughout their life. I have yet to see it, but it is on the list.
Hi Steve, your NEW camera voice needs adjustment, it's like listening to an Old AM Radio, check the Camera settings. I believe you purchased the Sony ZV 1 Digital Camera. There is how to videos and when they feature the recording sound part, the voice sounds really good, so it must be something in your camera settings, you purchased a really nice camera, I can't believe that this is the end result of the voice sound. All the Best, I hope you don't mind me sharing. I'm visiting Cemeteries when given the opportunity Yet at this time hoping I don't lose my job with regarding COVID. Takecare Safe Travels to You!
hi AAC, thanks for the feedback. in quiet areas the sound is awesome. when there is street noise anywhere nearby, it amplifies and dramatically picks up the background sound. i've tried every setting to fix it, but no luck. i assume that's what you are referring to. i'll see if i can find some how to videos online. my iphone 7 has much better sound quality when it comes to speaking in areas with background noise :-( hope your job isn't effected by this virus! it sure is wreaking havoc on so many!
@@TheGraveyardChannel It does sound like the background street noise is competing with your Voice. Perhaps the camera allows you to add a microphone attachment with a cover that goes over the Mic to eliminate the background noise. Thank You very much for the kind words in regards to my job. Safe Travels to You! What a Year! 2020
My sister and Nancy Wilson daughter where in dance together and meet Nancy Wilson and I remember picking up my sister serval times at her house and swimming in her swimming pool. 👮♂️
The teams for female baseball was mainly in the Great Lakes states. I live in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the home of the Kenosha Comets, a team in Racine, Wisconsin (10 miles north of Kenosha) and of course, Rockford, Illinois where the movie took place. Nice video on them, but I never heard of Nancy Wilson before and I listen to the 1960's and 1970's music.
Thanks Steve, loved the movie "A league of their own " great cast 👍,,sad they're all gone 😢 I guess but was a great experience in baseball back during the war, was a way to keep the sport alive and very popular for years, thanks for sharing,,big hugs for mom and as always you know "Howdy from Texas "!!
Hi Steve. Catching up on your vlogs. I really enjoy your cemetery jaunts. I'm not a fan of baseball but I did enjoy this movie, so well acted. Thank you for sharing the ones you accidentally find too like Nancy. Stay safe! 🙂
Makes my day better when I see there is a new vlog from Steve. Very interesting subject......I really didnt know much about these women and their league and Mary Wilson had a great voice.
Thanks for the heads up Randy. Another viewer said that he was actually one of the other players. So it’s a possibility that she was a combination of all three in the film since the character in the film was fictionalized. Thanks 😊👍
I’ve never heard of it. I try to do a video to have a personal connection to me and also would be of interest to a large audience. I will check into it though Joseph. Thanks for the suggestion 😊👍
thank you ....and also....checked out that Nancy Wilson Song....how is it I never heard it that I remember - it didn't sound familiar? I was born in 60 ...
A view from the uk. Stevie, every time you find or review a singers gravesite, the first thing i do is youtube their work. Nancy was no exception. And i gotta tell you the memories just flood back. Way before specific genre radio stations all we has was the "Light Programme" for music on the "Wireless". You can guess the usual American suspects - Sinatra, Crosby, Martin, Johnny Mathis, (me mum's fav), and Nancy Wilson, Etta James. Sunday's were always a roast dinner and, as me dad grew veggies, we would sit in the back garden, on a hot day in me short pants shelling peas listening to 'em all. Why can i remember 60yrs ago and not what's for dinner?
Steve good video. I look at alot of yours. I have some fun info you may like. I live in winchester va. 2 hours west of wash. dc. I was born in alexandria va. 1958. Some famous people were born or once lived in alex va. Alex is just over the potomac river from dc. Jim morrison lived there as a teen ager.cass elliott from mama and the papas lined on alex until she was 15. Actress mackenzie phillips was born I alex in 1959. Shirley macclain warren beatty and dub taylor were all born here in Va. Thank you for all the cool and fun videos. You can Google this info and read up on it.
hi guy, i spent the night once in alexandria virginia. i didn't know any of these famous people having a connection to the city, though. very interesting. thanks, guy!
Drag racing? You would be surprised Steve. Many of the common, popular sporty cars made and sold today can run circles around the so called "muscle cars" of 50 years ago. And then enthusiasts raise the performance level from there with modification to the programming of the car;s computers. And some also modify their exhaust systems to make their cars sound louder.
I like your videos because you are so encouraging for folks to learn more about those whose graves you visit. WWII has to be the most destructive time in human history yet this couple persevered through it all on their way to forever together. A touching story. And you turned me on to Nancy Wilson's music, an artist I would have never known about but for your video presentation. She was a wonderful talent. I understand the difference in style of your videos moving forward and wish you much ongoing success. Thanks a bunch.
I still have a few longer videos to complete and I may still do some in the future but the single topics are still as interesting and a lot more enjoyable to do. As you can see though they don’t get as many views. But that’s OK. I just appreciate the people like you who do enjoy them. And I’m glad I was able to introduce you to Nancy Wilson‘s music. That’s awesome 😊👍
One of my favorite films. When I was a kid, we used to go to the company girls team baseball games. My mother was the glamorous blond type like Marilyn Monroe or Tippi Hedren and all the girls on the baseball team looked like Elvis Presley and were in love with her lol. This brings back nice memories. Very sweet.
Another great video steve thank u i was just watching a ep of of the tv series Hawaiian Eye on utube i i cant remember if u have done a video of the stars of Hawaiian Eye i think 1959- 1963 anyway just a idea thank u for a great video to watch on this sat morning take care mate regards phill..

Nancy Wilson had an album called Forbidden Lover in the late 80s that i used to play over and over. Especially that title track.
Have seen "A League of their Own" several times, just watched it again recently. Of course "There's no crying in baseball!" is the most quoted line from the movie, but my other favorite line was on the bus when Tom Hanks said to the house mother "By the way I loved you in the Wizard of Oz!"
Lol that was a funny line too 😂 thanks for the reminder ILS 😊👍
Great 👍 movie 🎥. Rip Nancy. All.
My mom is starting to watch your videos. I told her there is a lot of them. She now enjoys watching your videos like I do.
That is so nice to hear Jennifer. Thanks for telling her about my channel 😊👍
I watched The League of Their Own a lot. I even cried when one of the players lost her husband in the war.
Nancy WIlson was one of my Mom's favorite singers! I still have her Nancy Lp's! Her favourite song that she always got me to play was "Here's That Rainy Day". Steve, please check it out, its a great one! Thanks for this little gem of a trip!

I love Nancy Wilson's cover song of "Don't ask my neighbor" 🌹🌹🌹
This life is one big wonderful paradox: nothing is a coincidence, everything is a coincidence!
I love the thought George 😊👍
This movie always makes me cry but I love the movie. The song "This Used to be my Playground" always get to me.
My grandmother lives in Rockford and she took me to the sight of the Rockford Peaches baseball team. The ticket booth is all that remains of the original stadium.

Can u show us how to find michale Anthony rizzitello

They are listed as spouses on Find a Grave and also on Wikipedia.
@@TheGraveyardChannel They were both born on the same date! I thought the same! Spouses? Or twin sisters? Now i am dying to find out lol
Dottie was actually Dorothy Schroeder from Sadorus Il. You can find her on find a grave. Her twin brother is still alive

One of My favorite Nancy Wilson song is “How glad I Am”
Drag racing? You would be surprised Steve. Many of the common, popular sporty cars made and sold today can run circles around the so called "muscle cars" of 50 years ago. And then enthusiasts raise the performance level from there with modification to the programming of the car;s computers. And some also modify their exhaust systems to make their cars sound louder.
lol, who knew? i guess everyone but me, probably :-) maybe they just don't do it on such public streets now. thanks, raymond!
Another fantastic video. We took our first trip to Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley in February and were hooked. I can see why you love it there!
Glad to hear that you visited and liked it here Ryan 😎👍
I like your videos because you are so encouraging for folks to learn more about those whose graves you visit. WWII has to be the most destructive time in human history yet this couple persevered through it all on their way to forever together. A touching story.
And you turned me on to Nancy Wilson's music, an artist I would have never known about but for your video presentation. She was a wonderful talent.
I understand the difference in style of your videos moving forward and wish you much ongoing success. Thanks a bunch.
I still have a few longer videos to complete and I may still do some in the future but the single topics are still as interesting and a lot more enjoyable to do. As you can see though they don’t get as many views. But that’s OK. I just appreciate the people like you who do enjoy them. And I’m glad I was able to introduce you to Nancy Wilson‘s music. That’s awesome 😊👍
That's a razor board they're on
You deserved more subscribers. You’re so sweet and kind person, you explain and tell the stories with so humanity. Huge. Always good work Steve 👏🏼🧡
Thank you so much Lila. That's very nice of you to say!
I didn't know dorothy and margaret were a couple! O wish they would've shown that in the movie! Great video, Steve!

Hi Steve,
Amazing times!
Palm Springs is looking great!
Great vlog👍
Thanks, Daniel 👍
One of my favorite films. When I was a kid, we used to go to the company girls team baseball games. My mother was the glamorous blond type like Marilyn Monroe or Tippi Hedren and all the girls on the baseball team looked like Elvis Presley and were in love with her lol. This brings back nice memories. Very sweet.
Lol that sounds awesome Frank 😊👍
