Last year, on the way home from the shore, I was overcome by nostalgia and had a bit of a breakdown. I was bawling so much I had to pull over and let my wife drive up the parkway. It was a pretty intense experience. Felt really good.

You are correct, sir. We are boring. The internet gives us the material to quell the boredom.

Dorothy Fields and Jerome Kern wrote "The Way You Look Tonight" - originally a hit for Fred Astaire: en.wikipedia.org...

Sinatra being Sinatra though, nobody remembers the fact that anyone else did that song :)

That Astaire movie was on Turner Classic Movies last week.

FXO has played some of the other takes of "Summer Wind" on his show the last couple of weeks. Amazing to hear a less than perfect Sinatra.

The Way You Look Tonight:

1936: The song was written by Jerome Kern with lyrics by Dorothy Fields, and has become a standard. Fields later remarked, "The first time Jerry played that melody for me I went out and started to cry. The release absolutely killed me. I couldn't stop, it was so beautiful."

it's true, the search for odd little trivia (sometimes not so trivial) was a much more involved and chance event than now.

A local radio station today played a report about the Enola Gay. When I got back, I looked up some history web sites to review the events of this day in 1945.
