\"CCF06022013_00000\"<\/a>…but my oldest grandson, who is about to graduate from high school in a couple of weeks, and he is singing one of Frank Sinatra’s hits with the High School Jazz Band.\u00a0I will take this opportunity to brag a little bit, well brag a lot, as he has the best voice in the world.\u00a0 He really does, and I am convinced that you will be\u00a0begging \u00a0me to get you on the tour bus some day, or at the very least a ticket to his show, and I will.\u00a0 When he and his cousin were 12 yrs. old and his brother was 10, I volunteered to be their personal driver every Thursday and Friday.\u00a0 I was at their disposal on Thursdays to take them anywhere they wanted to go,\u00a0starting at any time, they could choose where they wanted to eat lunch, and they could tell me what they wanted for dinner, and I would cook it.\u00a0 They would have a sleepover and then swim all day Friday.\u00a0 I’m sure they did not consider it their best summer, but it was certainly one of mine.\u00a0\u00a0 Oh, they were\u00a0each given a small amount of money to spend, which would include money for lunch and whatever\u00a0else they wanted to do that day.\u00a0 We would go to Hobby Town USA, that was a must stop.\"HAPPY<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 We would eat at KFC, Subway or Frank’s Pizza, those were the favorites.\u00a0 It was then on to play Lazer Tag and then home, where I could cook their favorite meal.\u00a0 Many\u00a0lessons were learned\u00a0that summer.\u00a0 If they packed their own lunch they had more money for Hobby Town, or they could buy an extra lazer tag game by giving the driver a few extra hugs and telling\u00a0her she was the best.\u00a0 I also learned that summer too, and that was that they had beautiful voices and they all loved to sing, and would.\u00a0 Their Grandfather raised them with music, so it was natural for them to sing and I do believe they inherited his musical genes.\u00a0\u00a0They\u00a0would sing in the car to me and I loved every minute.\u00a0 My Frank Sinatra protege was always encouraged to pursue singing, however getting up on stage and singing in front of your peers is a not something a young high school boy wants to do.\u00a0 He did come into his own this year.\u00a0\u00a0It is wonderful to see and I’m really happy for him. Oh, and these are not Elvis Presley’s blue suede shoes either. \"CCF06022013_00001\"<\/a>\u00a0These belong to my crooner, he sings but is also in to vintage anything from anywhere.\u00a0 These are a pair of his Great Grandfathers, and the entire family is so happy to see them going to good use.\u00a0 It was fortunate that there was a prom he could wear them to and that is exactly what he did. Friday night.\u00a0\"CCF06032013_00000\"<\/a> I’ve heard he has a trench coat that his Mother won’t allow him out of the house with, however I think he is going to need it if he continues\u00a0on the path he is heading down.\u00a0I think I\u00a0should\u00a0google Frank Sinatra’s Grandmother, as it seems like we may have something in common.<\/p>\n
