Hey Sweetie,
Happy Monday to you!!!
I hope you had a lovely weekend.
I enjoyed my extended weekend
I was able to get away for some R&R
I've told this story before
But since some of you are new
I thought I'd repeat my special moment story
Today's music is special to me
Decades ago I was asked to sing
As entertainment for an appreciation dinner
by the company I worked for then
by the company I worked for then
Somehow they found out that I was a vocal major in college
So
After the dinner
I got up and sang a few songs
The last song I sang was today's music
"When You Wish Upon a Star"
I had taken a few ideas from Linda Ronstadt's version
Especially the very last few lines of the song
I even did the long slide to the same high note she sings
Using my smooth, beautiful falsetto voice
I was quite the crooning tenor with a great range back then
(wish I still had it)
: )
Anyway
I hit it all just right and
As soon as I finished
The room erupted in applause and a standing ovation
It was like an explosion
The Shock and Awe of their reaction was such a surprise
The Shock and Awe of their reaction was such a surprise
It almost knocked me off my feet
When I close my eyes today and think of it
I can still see that crowd jumping to their feet
Cheering and Clapping
(now it occurs to me they could have been happy it was over
But I'll stick with the idea that they loved my performance)
: )
It was one of those very special moments in my life
That I cherish and will never forget
So when I hear the song today
I still feel those thrilling tingles
I wish you a very Glorious Day!
See you next month!!!
; )
Peace and Love,
AOM
