I was a new reporter, assigned to interview the
administrator of a senior center. It was hard to concentrate because my attention
kept drifting to the elderly gentleman playing old standards so beautifully on
a piano across the room. When I heard “Embraceable You” I couldn’t resist. I
abandoned the interview, walked over to the piano, smiled happily, and sang.
I bet he was thrilled to have you join him for that song.
ReplyDeleteHe was. It was such a nice experience.
DeleteHow wonderful! You would have made his day.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! Almost like a feel-good movie scene.
ReplyDeleteSee, Susan? You have to write your life as a screenplay. It would be such a great movie!
DeleteOh, I absolutely love this. And the song.
ReplyDeleteToo bad this was before everyone recorded everything on their cellphones. I'd love to be able to see it on youtube.
