There is no one on God's green earth that I love to hear sing more than this man. I loved his music since the '60's and knew every word to every song. I still do.
My good friend, Christine passed away a year ago February. We had many long talks during her last year and she told me that she wished she could do something really special for each and every one of her friends before she died. For me....she wanted to have James play at my 6oth birthday party. Now, I knew this girl well and I bet you anything that if she could have afforded it that wish would have come true. The poor man just would not have had the strength to refuse this woman on a mission. I always smile when I think of her planning this special concert in her mind just for me.
I did get to see him last year in Toronto (second time)
and we did 'high five' as he was leaving. No picture of that of course because I had the camera.:(
So, I expect that he won't be at my 60th but I do plan to play his music and toast my dear friend, Chris.
Here's a little nostalgia. Have a listen.
Shhhhhhh......I peaked at these three before heading off to bed. As you can see, Lily & Mr. Ed are re-uniting.
hugs, Deb
