Madame DF; My dad was known as the 'Fabulous Gentleman'! We came from a very poor area, but he would save up for a year to buy a bespoke suit! He was a cool guy, and I think I may have picked up some of his foibles!
(And HE was always known as Mr. Stewart!, His full name was James Mary Stewart!)
Lakes of Ponchatrain is one of my all time favorite songs. I'd forgotten about it. Thanks :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd now, to bed with me!
Map, I love that song by Paul Brady. Thanks! And I hope one day you *do* get to shake his hand.
ReplyDeleteYour cousin Andy... well, I had a bit of a struggle understanding him... ;-)
