My Dad's Greatest HitsThis will be my last regularly scheduled weekly episode. We’ll talk about that as we go along.
One of the last songs my dad heard in his hospital bed the day he died and the one we played as we wheeled his casket out of the church was the Frank Sinatra song, My Way. It’s how my dad lived his life. And it’s how I will bring this show to a close. I’ll use paraphrased lyrics from the song.
So Yes, the end is near.My friend, I'll say it clear.
Strap in. This is going to be a fun musical ride.
So, get ready to hear 20 songs...
My Dad's Greatest Hits
This will be my last regularly scheduled weekly episode. We’ll talk about that as we go along.
One of the last songs my dad heard in his hospital bed the day he died and the one we played as we wheeled his casket out of the church was the Frank Sinatra song, My Way. It’s how my dad lived his life. And it’s how I will bring this show to a close. I’ll use paraphrased lyrics from the song.
So Yes, the end is near.
My friend, I'll say it clear.
Strap in. This is going to be a fun musical ride.
So, get ready to hear 20 songs that had meaning to my father, my family, and me in Volume 250: Fading Out My Way.
