Wait Till You See Him
Saturday 9: Wait Till You See Him (1967)
This song was chosen in honor of Father's Day. Hear it here.
1) This is Nancy Sinatra's celebration of her father, Frank. She singles out the sound of his laugh as something special. Do you know anyone who has a great laugh? Both of our granddaughters have the most delightful laughs.. like precious angels from on a cloud on high! I cannot hear it enough!
2) Frank Sinatra recorded this song himself a decade earlier. It was one of more then 1,400 recordings he made over his career. When you think of him, what song comes to mind?
3) Nancy always called her famous father "Daddy," while her younger sister Tina referred to him as "Pop." How did/do you call your father? Daddy
4) Nancy went on to have two daughters of her own. The girls recall that their grandfather was loving and supportive, even when they went through a punk rock phase with spiky hair, lots of leather, and studs. Frank defended their extreme choices as a healthy means of self-expression. Did you have arguments with your parents over your clothes or hair? If you're a parent yourself, have you always approved of your kids' fashion choices? I never had an issue either with my own parents or with our daughter.. We are all trained up to dress in style and decorum. My mother made many of my lovely clothes and I was pleased to wear them.. We wanted our daughter to be styled and fresh in her attire and according to the best fashion of her day. For our family it was a symbol of upbringing and decorum.
5) Back when our own Crazy Sam was in high school, her father gave her driving lessons. What grade would you give your driving today? Except for afternoon I forgot how to restart our car,... I detest cars that cut off at traffic lights. I must not forget to switch off that button on the dash..I am a great driver.. Id say an A- for those who think I should count that one fateful afternoon!
6) For family barbecues, Sam's dad dons his "Kiss the Chef" apron and mans the Weber. What's the last thing you grilled? I have never grilled by myself on a grill.. but I love to grill on the air fryer! Chicken!
7) Because he takes his grilling so seriously, Sam once invested in a pair of forged steel tongs for Father's Day. Does anyone on your gift list have a passion that makes them easy to shop for? My husband has a couple of hobbies that make it rather easy! Woodworking and gardening!
8) Traditionally the most popular Father's Day gift have been ties, wallets and belts. However experiences -- like tickets to a concert or a sporting event -- are gaining in popularity. Which would you prefer to receive: something to own and hold or an experience to remember? Something to hold and own.. as would my dear husband!
9) Random question: Have you recently mistakenly called someone by the wrong name? Yes, I always want to call Ida Jane at church Lucy...
I added your name to Mr. Linky. Hopefully you won't have any trouble in the future.
ReplyDeleteMy mother was a gardener and there were always flowery, planty things on her wish list.
When I was a teen, the postmaster in my town always insisted on calling me Alice. No idea why. I have been wanting an air fryer but its just me so I am not sure if it would get enough use. I agree that children can have the most beautiful laughter!
