Let's refresh our minds. Here's what we were made to be - a man and a woman. Male and female. Feminine and masculine. Him and her. He and she. Femininity and masculinity. She is so lovely. So beautiful and sweet. So FEMININE. He is powerful, handsome, strong and gentle. So MASCULINE. I want them to get married and have lots of babies and live happily ever after. Their love for each other and God will get them through the joys and sorrows known as the culture of life.

Harve Presnell, 1969

(Yes, that's Clint Eastwood at 0:56 and 2:21.)
Harve Presnell died I think in 2009. He left behind six children. I remember him i The Unsinkable Molly Brown. What a voice! May he rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteThe chorus was conducted by Roger Wagner (KCSG) and one of the soloists was Paul Salamunovich, Roger's assistant and another KCSG. Google YouTube on either of those names and you'll hear some great Catholic church music!! (And other stuff, too.)
ReplyDeleteOMG,,, After reading these articles, i now realize my sanity, joy, happiness, was almost destryored way back when at 18 yrs old and heading into the viet nam war as a soldier. Wow, old age mellows you out. But seriously, change your acknowledgement to a soldier/veteran from "thank you for your service" to "thank you for your sacrifice"...
