My best friend from high school, only person that I am still in touch with from high school.. his dad sold lady’s underwear.. he worked for Porette Corset and was promoted to corporate VP in New York.. pantyhose and the braless 60-70s were the company’s undoing..
The standard joke was that his father “was in lady’s underwear “..
They had a dog named “B-cup” .. father received a sales award for selling a lot of them..
In HS and college, Friend worked back stage as a gofer during fashion week in New York.. the outfit changes never got old, some models had zero modesty..
Dad’s car was stolen.. joke was..”would like to see the car theifs face when he piped the truck and found the sample cases”
Oh.. good find, interesting song..

Today, in the Catholic Church, is the Memorial to Our Lady of Lourdes. That reminded me of this lovely song by Andy Williams.

Hotel California in a way you’ve never heard it before. Don Felder probably crapped his pants when he saw and heard this!

Music is often much more than simply the sounds.
The gentlemen singing is 88 years old. The RH on his cap stands for the "Royal Hospital" in London and he is a member of the Chelsea Pensioners--a quick search will give you more detail of that.
There are three parts to this video, may you enjoy all of them.

Today is our 54th wedding anniversary. Last Saturday I sent the following email to a list of our dear friends who enrich our lives, our children and grandchildren:
Subject: As we approach another anniversary I can't help but reflect with love for my own hero!
If any of you, find yourselves having similar eye problems as me, I have succeeded in sharing this with the right people 😊

As a side note: RH stands for “Royal Hospital” and this gentleman is a member of the “Chelsea Pensioners”: http://projectbritain.com/chelseapensioner.html
There are three songs here, I invite you to enjoy them all.
Happy anniversary my dear, you are the wind beneath my wings!

I do not think it a coincidence that our greatest music links with what we call Love. Dance is also surely in that mix.
