Listening to the greatest Maybe I’m Amazed version (on rdio – on repeat too) … from the Back in the U.S. album … w/my Grado cans cranked! I love it when Paul rolls his “R” (coolest part) … takes me back a million years when my father was teaching us Russian (un-coolest part). He thought Russian for real, and rolling “R”s is necessary/integral in its language … but I could never do it! I just couldn’t! And the more he showed (showed off) his ability to do so, the more I struggled with my lack of being able to. Thanks for the great song Paul … not so much reminding me of the douche-bag-dad I had!!

… for now’s what I mean … don’t hold yer breath, and I don’t wanna hear smack from any of ya when ya see more, lol!! Love ’em both, 1st pic ’cause he’s looking so casual … shirt unmotherfuckingtucked … with a hint of a smile, both rare for him … unsure of the year, guessing ’53-’55 … do know it’s a cultural event (another reason I cherish these particular photos), he was extremely proud of his roots, of his ancestry and heritage. The 2nd pic, taken February ’57 … is of him with friends, love it as well ’cause he was always the best looking one of the bunch … GREAT hair as always, contrasting colours; jacket and pants … AND check out his flatly folded hankie … spank-yie very much, snot-rag stylin’ shit motherfucker had goin’ on!!

I’ll start with some numbers … January 6, 1935 … 1935 – 2013 = 78 … 39 + 39 = 78 … 49 … 39 + 49 = 88 … 88 – 78 = 10 … yep, ten … now the pics, bunch of oldies and a single goodie …
