old blue with the bfe!

Such a wonderful way to document our rare time together on a Monday!
After all, the fall semester has begun, and although that means little to a retiree like me, he is still a working physicist.
But he made sure to be with me for this concert.
That's because he and I are "hooked... friend immediately... permanently", as per Frank Sinatra's own words regarding the friendship we share.
That's why we were at the CMC for SVF7 tonight - we had to be, we were meant to be right there.
(Hey, that's our inside joke!)
Good thing we didn't have to move "Heaven and Earth" to be there for "Old Blue Eyes: Peter Lake in Tribute to Frank Sinatra".
(smile)
No, that's not him up there, that's Sherrill Milnes, the man behind the Savannah VOICE.
(Get it? LOL!)
Peter Lake played Plaid Jinx, remember?
(smile)
Some of the songs were from the 1950's ("Come Fly With Me", "Love And Marriage", "In The Wee Small Hours"), some were from a decade or so earlier ("I've Got You Under My Skin", "The Way You Look Tonight"), while others came a decade or so later ("New York, New York", "Luck Be A Lady", "My Way") - all were sung beautifully with Peter's clear tenor.
I'm so glad to have been able to share this one with the J-Dawg!
Not only were we at a different venue than ever before, but we also dined at a restaurant we'd not been to ever before - new to us!
Not the The Pirates House is new, by any means.
(smile)
And not that neither of us have never eaten there before.
(smile)
It was simply a new place for the bfe and me to share a meal...
and that's special, after all these years together.
Sweet dreams, dear friend!
(smile)
