You Go to My Head

“Beauty is worse than wine; it intoxicates both the holder and the beholder.”

- Aldous Huxley
(26 July 1894 - 22 Nov 1963)

The song was recorded in 1938 by Teddy Wilson with a vocal by Nan Wynn. The same year it was recorded by Billie Holiday^[2]

On 23 April 1961, Judy Garland performed the song at the Judy at Carnegie Hall concert.

   OH, WOW! What a beautiful tribute! Thanks so much, Cheryl!

   Thank you so much, Brent! I'd second what you said about your father, but I can't recall anything I did along those lines except feed you a steady diet of WWII movies and documentaries!

I have no idea how your have the energy to do this, but I have great admiration for you keeping in touch with so many. I will be 74 later this month (class of 1956) and have gone to all reunions except when I was in the army for the 10th. I lived in Oregon for 32 years, and now live in Leesburg, VA at Leisure World.

Today we here had a great veterans day with the West Point Glee Club from Northern Virginia, all former officers, singing to our enjoyment, and all of us veterans were honored. it is a great place to live, and we have vets from WW2, Korea, Vietnam, and those like me who were in the infantry between the wars. I was a commanding officer of an infantry training company in the army, at Ft. Ord, California from 1960 to 63, and was a trained paratrooper, i.e. 12 jumps, but lucked out, never went to war., but many here did, and all are honored today.

Keep up your good work.

My best friend in the Virginia neighborhood is my 1st grade buddy,   Bruce Sims, who remains a friend from 1944 onward. He still has red hair, believe or not.

My dad, born in Newport News in 1907 and died there in 1954, arranged for me to have lunch in the 1st grade with Mrs. Sims, rather than walk the mile back and forth, or just carry a sandwich. Bruce's house was right across 25th Street from the Woodrow Wilson School, an easy walk. Anyway Bruce was the teacher's pet.  Her name was Miss Bush, and Bruce was the smartest kid in the class, and most loved by Miss Bush, and a lady who used to drive up in a early1920-s auto to lecture us about birds. I think Bruce was also her favorite, and maybe he can remember her name. Anyway, let me know if he responds to this portrayal of him as I remember him from those those days many years ago.

Cheers.

   Thanks, Glenn! These are definitely drool worthy!
