Fairy brooch, longtime part of my collection
Years ago, when Tom hit a milestone birthday, lots of friends and family sent videos that I compiled into one video of happy birthday wishes from around the world.
We had spent some time in Vegas, and I had my video camera (before everyone and their cat had a cell phone with video capabilities) and sneaked away from Tom to stop in front of hotels and casinos and record random strangers saying, “Happy birthday, Tom!” I can’t remember if I was able to use any of those, but I DO remember that Frank Sinatra’s version of “Fly Me to the Moon” was playing at the Bellagio Fountains while I was recording.
Can’t believe how much I used to travel to be such a homebody now. Glad someone else captured this and put it on youtube. Music begins about 15 seconds in. This is fun to see in person, plus it’s just such a great song.
I like the Tony Bennett version, but frank aint bad
By all means, croon on with Tony! This version is way too mellow for me.
