"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Patty Andrews, RIP
The last surviving member of the famous singing trio, the Andrews sisters, has died at age 94. Patty was the blond sister who usually took the solo turns.
Deborah said...Thankfully, the Andrews Sisters werr heard in our home when I was growing up. My Dad knew the Andrews Sisters and the Macguire Sisters. Luckily, American Legion Post 826 (Richard & I belong to) has a Big Band dance every month. Angel City (17 pieces) has the place jumping.
Now that the sisters are reunited, they must be keeping the angels jumping. Thanks, Patty, for all the hours of fantastic music!

It's always a sad when one of the purveyors of real music leaves us.
ReplyDeleteOne of the big pluses of the interweb is that music like theirs still has a chance to be seen by the later generations. And appreciated.
The Andrews Sisters spirit remains with us:
