…and Happy Anniversary to my still mostly getting along parents, who got married while Stan Freberg’s “St. George and the Dragonet” was #1 on the Billboard charts. Legend has it that someone came to their reception in a coffin, but I’ve yet to see a clip of it on Youtube, so it couldn’t have actually happened. Amazingly enough, the #1 song in the country both before and after the hitching was Les Paul and Mary Ford’s “Vaya Con Dios”, which means “Go With God” (and a huge keeper, by the way). Coincidence? I don’t know, but they’ve lasted together quite a while after digging themselves that kind of musical hole.
Anyway… Bloody Mary in hand: here’s to Jules and Carolyn.
