Park Hyatt Paris Vendome wouldn't let me book a multiple night award reservation, even with the same class of room available on consecutive nights.

This is what FT has done to me - my first thought was "that's OK; Hyatt will probably be fine with just giving me another diamond food and beverage check-in amenity".

I may have found a good song but I'd rather do a "duet" with a female with that song but they all seem to be either old time jazz or flowery country and I can't do either of those. I can keep up with Michael Buble and a blues version of the song. I could go classic with Bing but that version is too slow.

I'll provide this bit of advice - I once dated someone a few years younger than me (she was born in the early 1980s) who related to Bing better than the modern alternative.

My voice works with Bing but I want a bit faster version than his. Actually I don't like the Bing version. Like the Dean Martin version better. There is a another song I do with Bing if I go that route. Granted I'll get less:rolleyes: by going the Bing route. Anything would be less :rolleyes: than last year's.

Use a version with a faster tempo but as Bing? You have me experimenting with "White Christmas" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" now ... And now I'm thinking of Bing and Bowie. Yes, I finished off that 6-pack of Molson.

There's the problem, I can't find the up tempo music w/o someone else singing it and or that doesn't like elevator music. Now the Bing and Bowie still give me nightmares. There's another Bing song that I can make into a more interesting video.

Fortunately, I was too young to remember Bing / Bowie contemporaneously. However, I can understand the trauma - it would be like Sinatra and Ozzy together for me.

I remember as a kid walking by the TV section at Sears and the Bing/Bowie video was on and I thought to myself what is that crap. Their voices did not work well together and they looked like complete opposites being next to each other.

Night, Box.

Have a good trip (as if it's not a given).

My first memory was a year and a half later. I grew up on a farm and my grandmother moving from the farm to the city was the first thing I recall.

Nope voice can't do Billy Squire., Might have to to Bing.

There is the Grinch song? yes I can go that low.

Depends what you're looking for - Charlie Pride did a better tempo version of "Little Drummer Boy", and Merle did "White Christmas"

I look some more in the morning. The worse part of this whole thing is getting my voice in some sort of shape since I haven't sung since 5th grade.
