Uncle Donnie has a serious question...
American Bandstand or Soul Train? It's like Pepsi or Coke( you know, Pepsi,the Anti-Coke),White or wheat? Fish or chicken? Hashbrowns or waffles? You know what I mean? I mean, Sinatra's favorite was Tony Bennett. Scratch that his real favorite was Jack Daniels-mine too.
Some people get their whiskey confused. For instance, some want Black Daniels or a shot of Jack Velvet. I don't care what you call mine, just make it a double and put it in a glass, or a jar, a vase, whatever; put it in a hubcap for all I care, it's all the same to me, capisci?
Don't get me wrong, Bennett had the pipes and can still sing (what is he, 102 yrs old now?) and he still can't find his heart! I'm thinking maybe he should look in San Francisco. 50 bucks says the name of that old song was not "I left my heart in East Lansing" you get my meaning?
My friend Takashi (he ain't no fugazi) Woods and me, with our wives, went to a concert a couple years back and heard Tony Bennet in person.What a treat it was! I mean Mr. Woods will go anywhere if you tell him it's gonna be at the casino. Anyways, we had a great time and Takashi didn't lose very much at all.
Old Blue Eyes could sing pretty well himself. Sometimes,when I'm awfully low, I just feel the glow- eh, whoops. Uncle Donnie got carried away there.Anyways, sometimes, I plug in the iPod and let the old Sicilian genius do his thing. I still get tingles when I hear "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning",or, "Luck be a Lady Tonight" (which, might be Mr. Woods' favorite come to think of it), "Come Fly With Me", "I've Got the World on a String", "My Way" and all the rest. There will never be another Sinatra!
Uncle Donnie's favorite singers consist of:
Johnny Mathis, Barbra Streisand, Frank Sinatra, Nat 'King' Cole, Marvin Gaye,Al Green, Jeffrey Osbourne, Ozzy Osbourne...Dean Martin, M.C.Hammer, PeeWee Herman....
My all-time fav, has got to be, MC Hammer, tho. You know, you "can't touch this..STOP! Hammertime...."
Or if you're feeling religious, "That's why we pray, pray! We got to pray, just to
make it today- that's why we pray......"
Ciao,
Uncle D.
Alright, I read all of these and laughed my ass off. Good job. Now you can go read mine and get all weepy and depressed.
