I couldn't help but look this one up. Sorry.
"I've seen the flop, the bend, and the river, and i like my pocket 10's, but something tells me he's got niggers in the woodpile...I fold."
Too precious. Too perfect.
Watching Bronwyn and Dinah across the street. Yes, that is their names. Well, Dinah is a puppy dog, so she has no excuse. But Bronwyn? That is somebody's joke, OK. It would be worse if she wasn't such a pretty woman. But she is. So, I just look. Winnie, I call her. But I know it's Bronwyn.
Oh, he don't plant 'taters, and he don't plant cotton. And them dat does that, they're soon forgotten. But ole man river ... he jus keeps rollin' along.
One thing about Sinatra. When he acted, as he did very well, he could put on any accent needed. But when he sang, oh and he sang, he always used perfect diction. Perfect! You may not have been aware of it, but he spoke the King's English. And that was one, among other, reason we don't forget him. Perfect diction.
So here is a video, of some guy - I have no clue; don't even ask - but the sound is Sinatra, off the 'Concert Sinatra' album. Trivia question - why not? What musical does 'I Have Dreamed' come from? You don't know? You have got to be kidding. Most famously associated with one particular actor who was born in Vladivostok in Far Eastern Russia. His former home is actually a museum now. And yes, he was bald and had a first name that begins with the letter 'Y'. Hmm ... Getting to know you ...
