Please Release Me

Englebert Humperdink had a number 1 hit with this song. We saw him in concert at Foxwoods / MGM and even though he's 75 years old he can still sing!

It was a poignant memory for me though because my aunt Mary used to always play his songs on the juke box at my family's restaurant. She loved those crooners. She was always a super aunt to me. I can still remember going to her house on Sylvia street after school and having "made from scratch" cake - she wouldn't stoop to baking a "mix" from a box. She was justly proud of her baking skills. She's probably still cooking in heaven.

Anyway, the concert was fun... we were some of the young uns there.
Hey -- getting older but still feeling young.
