A Potpourri of Songs
********************************************************************** It was my maternal grandmother that loved Perry Como. He was popular from the late 1930's on through and well past the 1960's, having thirteen #1 top hits. She was born in 1892, so this makes sense. I liked listening to his music with her. In elementary school music class, we learned this song, Moon River. I remember singing it to her. Dean Martin described Como's voice as "relaxing." I also remember another singer, Andy Williams who was popular in the 60s-70's. He, too sang Moon River. I think I liked his version the best.

Songs That Chronicle My Life
I have a pretty good memory, I'm told. I can remember things as early as age 3, while some people I know barely remember high school. One of my wife's friends has no memories at all before age 8. Key to my memories is music, which seems to have always been part of my life.
