Set the dinner music mood for my sister in law with a bit of Tony Bennett. I love this song too, though. (I didn't think she would go for ZZ Top.) I remember my parents dancing to this. Just waiting on "Moon River" next... Silly, I know, but gosh, she's going downhill fast. Whatever I can do to make it memorable is the key during which will probably be her last beach trip ever. She dearly loves Hatteras Island.
@BentMtn you're a good egg, Bent.
@Greg - Her grown children are conspiring behind the scenes to toss her into assisted living. Very sad. Crappy day for us. I walk in front of her down the outside steps and behind her going up them very slowly every time to be someone to lean on if her balance gets shakey. Done it a hundred times. 14 steps. She fell on me going down today and knocked me down two stairs and I saw stars for a minute or two and am a bit scraped up, but fine. She's over 200 pounds vs my 125. She was fine since I blocked for her and she begged me not to tell her children. We just sat there and cried for awhile and I will not tell her children. I just put myself in her place thinking how I want to be treated if I reach the age of 86. Just want to help her and let her know that someone cares.
A bit of trivia/legend about how Frisco, NC received its' final name thinking about the song that played on Alexa at dinner last night. Apropos! Love stuff like this...
@BentMtn There really is something about that whole era of analog recording that can't be matched with modern equipment. It reminds me of nights when my parents would put me to bed and have Tony Bennet, Nat King Cole, Sinatra, Johnny Mathis, etc playing on the record player downstairs. That felt like home. Seems like a million years away....
@Beach Farmer - Poignant memories for sure, BF. The big console record player at the house and parents and their friends dancing on a Saturday night. Dreamy music. Yeah, forever ago.
@BentMtn on a fryin hot day, you should call it 'Crisco'.
