There is a Blues and Bar-B-Q fest in the park tonight. Don't know if my date will actually come.
He has said he would in the past and absolutely forgotten the words. Very un-Glen like . It's brutal out there at this age. Seems I thought the same thing as a teen. Oh well , now, I just want to dance.
I taught a lot of lanky teen boys to dance in my early teen years. After I met my college boy, that stopped. He put up with a lot of teen hops and rainbow dances just to please me. Later we would go to Rochester to see the Big Bands still touring the country. We danced to Stan Kenton, some band that claimed to be the Glenn Miller band, and Ray Anthony who sounded like the real Glenn Miller Band. That was a special night. It was beautiful there at The Colonial Gardens on Lake Manatau.
The front of the building had white pillars all the way across. The lake side of the building had a pillar supported balcony that spanned it. I think it was when they were playing " Moonlight Serenade" that Glen escorted me out to see the moon's reflection on the water. Yes that is where he popped the question -down on one knee. Too perfect, I know but that was the way it was. I don't even think he knew that that is where my father purposed to my mother while listening to Hoagy Carmichael's " Stardust".
You can quit gaggin' - that is enough of the Long side for now
