After 60 Years of Marriage, Still Humming Along Together

"Deep in December, it's good to remember the fire of September that made us mellow." ~ Ed Ames

 

My parents are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary this week. They became husband and wife on August 19, 1949.

 

This is a musical composite project, in their honor.

 

Here are two of my favorite old songs by Ed Ames (who is now in his 80s also) to commemorate this special time:

 

Try to Remember :

MY FAVORITE VOICE for this from a younger Ed Ames:

 

My Cup Runneth Over with Love:

My parents love Tony Bennett, Dean Martin, and all of the old classics. In fact my parents love, love, love beautiful, old romantic music. If you don't know these, well . . .

 

Take my hand and slip silently into the darkened audience of legendary Tony Bennett signing "Because of You" with the gifted k.d. lang.

It may be hard to imagine, but if you are young and this fortunate, this aging and mellowing may happen to you too. My wish for you and yours is that you also be so blessed.

 

Congratulations on 60 big years of love, Mom and Dad.

 

Love you,
