In 1999  I landed in New York 2 hours after he died. I could not get a taxi for love nor money as all taxi drivers had gone home to watch the news and the city was in virtual mourning. Amazing voice and one hell of a colourful character |

"Here's to your dad!
'Under my skin' my personal favourite! Love singing it at Karaoke  "
my dad favourite was "summer wind" ...and im going to share another story here !!
my daughter married 8 years ago and I was about to do some last minute prep for the reception (making sure all the tables were sorted ) while the DJ was setting up all his kit ....
i was struck speechless when all of a sudden i heard Sinatra singing summer wind ... No one but me and Dad new that was his favourite song (everyone else thought it was My Way ) and i certainly hadnt told the DJ.. I know for sure my Dad was at his only Grand daughters Wedding ........pass the hankies !! |
