Uncle Donnie's Views from Under the Bus

Hi. I'm Uncle Donnie. My family throws me under the bus regularly. I've decided to prove them all right.

These are my views, opinions and dogma. They don't represent the views of anyone but me. Whaddya gonna do? Leave the gun, take the cannoli. Lean back, drink some chianti, and enjoy my views from under the bus.

Sinatra or Mathis

In the wee small hours of the morning,
while the whole wide world is fast asleep.
You lie awake and think about the girl.
and never even think of counting sheep.
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson,
you'd be hers if only she would call.
In the wee small hours of the morning,
thats the time you miss her most of all.
Everybody who is anybody has covered this lovely song. My two favorites, as you might
easily guess, would be Sinatra and Mathis,with Tony Bennett,a distant third.
Singing is good! I'm pretty sure Jesus wants us to sing, you know what I mean?
Franks treatment of this particular tune is probably a little better than Johnnies; and
thats saying alot, on account of Uncle D. has always been partial to Mr. Mathis. If you
were to ask my trophy wife Betty, Say Betty, whats your favorite Mathis tune? Betty
would say, they are all my favorites; she has got such a great taste for music, you
know what I mean?
We went to see Mathis twice in concert; once with Bug who was the youngest person in
the auditorium, and once with my mother who was the happiest person in the auditorium.
Say it loud and its like music playing,
Say it soft and its almost like praying(Maria,from West side Story)
Singing is one of those great ing words!
Ciao
D.
