Powder your face with sunshine!

 

I'm stuck. I know what I want to happen.... I just don't know how to go about putting it on paper (or, in my case, the word document). So I'm sitting here writing this blog post and listening to Dean Martin.

 

I can't believe I haven't listened to him for nearly a year..... Here or there I would listen to one or two songs.... but I really haven't listened to him since last spring when we were on our long road trip and I got a migraine while listening to him.

 

But I can't stay away from his voice for too long. I just love it. And the music he sings too. He sings quite a bit in Italian (because he is Italian) and lots of jazz. But he also broadens into other genres as well... He has a few countryish songs which are kind of fun. "Goin' back to Houston! Houston! Houston!"
He was also part of the Rat Pack with Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr.....

 

And he has lots of amusing lyrics. "I haven't eaten in about a week, I'm so hungry that when I walk I squeak." "Standing on the corner, watching all the girls go by...." "I'd cry like a baby if you told me goodbye, I'd feel like a snowball on the fourth of July..... I'd cry like a baby with a busted balloon...."

 

And my three favorite crooners together in one picture:

 

(Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin).

Live long and prosper! And don't forget to powder your face sunshine! Put on a great big smile. Make up your eyes with laughter; folks will be laughing with you in a little while! Whistle a tune of gladness. Blue never was in style. The future's brighter, when hearts are lighter, so smile, smile, smile!
