Blue Skies

Just as I’ve always loved Frank Sinatra, I always wanted to sing like Rosemary Clooney. My parents had an album of hers, Mono of course, that I had to bring to school for some kind of project. Mom saw a hint of cleavage on the album cover so covered it up with masking tape with my name on the tape.

My favorite moment on screen was in White Christmas with Bing Crosby, talking about liverwurst and buttermilk and singing about counting your blessings instead of sheep.

I didn’t know that 80’s pop icon Debbie Boone was married to her son until now, and as she and her father have wonderful voices I can’t wait to hear her tribute to her late mother-in-law. Rosemary Clooney, I met her once in Four Girls Four with Rose Marie and Helen O’Connell. When I think of her I’ll always see her at the piano with Bing singing White Christmas. So, get your decorations going, we expect a tree and a red velvet gown with white fur trim for caroling. Let’s get this holiday season rolling! I’ll start by counting my blessings instead of sheep, Dee
