A great sounding song with a Texas ring to it, I love it. A perfect selection for the summer time Danny G.!<br /><br />Have a great week.<br /><br />ScottBlueisCooolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16751698383812075426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38491125.post-87743723128498057532017-08-20T15:51:42.134-07:002017-08-20T15:51:42.134-07:00Great tune!

Some of the lines in this song remind me of how their partnership was irresistible for both of them -- until the day came 10 years later that they broke up. They eventually reconciled; as a comedy team, they had fallen in love up to their hearts [metaphor!].<br /><br />From the <i>New York Times</i>, August 20, 2017, tribute to Jerry Lewis -- a tribute which contains accolades to our Dino (emphases mine):<br /><br /><i>...<b>The phenomenal rise of Martin and Lewis was like nothing show business had seen before.</b> Partly this was because of the rise of mass media after the war, when newspapers, radio and the emerging medium of television came together to create a new kind of instant celebrity. And partly it was because four years of war and its difficult aftermath were finally lifting, allowing America to indulge a long-suppressed taste for silliness. But <b>primarily it was the unusual chemical reaction that occurred when Martin and Lewis were side by side.</b><br /><br />Mr. Lewis’s shorthand definition for their relationship was “sex and slapstick.” But much more was going on: a dialectic between adult and infant, assurance and anxiety, bitter experience and wide-eyed innocence that generated a powerful image of postwar America, a gangly young country suddenly dominant on the world stage.<br /><br />[...]<br /><br /><b>During the 1976 telethon, Frank Sinatra staged an on-air reunion between Mr. Lewis and Mr. Martin, to the visible discomfort of both men. A more lasting reconciliation came in 1987, when Mr. Lewis attended the funeral of Mr. Martin’s oldest son, Dean Paul Martin Jr., a pilot in the California Air National Guard who had been killed in a crash. They continued to speak occasionally until Mr. Martin died in 1995.</b>...</i><br /><br />In the end, the hearts of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis were bonded together, some 30 years after the comedy team broke up.<br /><br />This evening, I like to think of Martin & Lewis together now up in heaven -- making everyone doubling over with laughter. Martin & Lewis -- what a comedy team!Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38491125.post-76326291219754507082017-08-20T06:38:44.101-07:002017-08-20T06:38:44.101-07:00Great song Danny.Great song Danny.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00036139427214568682noreply@blogger.com
