April Love.. saturday 9

Welcome to my blog.
Today I am participating in Saturday 9.

April Love (1957). Unfamiliar with this week's song? Hear it here.

1) In this song, Pat Boone sings that April love is a wonder reserved for the very young. Do you think the sensation of falling in love changes as we grow older?

I don't really  know.  I would like to though.

2) "April Love" reached #1 on the charts. Between this song and "Love Letters in the Sand," Pat Boone had a career year. Only one artist sold more records in 1957: Elvis Presley. When you think of Elvis, what's the first song that comes to mind?
 
Most of the songs from Blue Hawaii.

3) Pat was extremely busy in high school. He wrote for the school paper, ran track, and acted in school plays. Share a memory of your extracurricular activities during high school.
  Editor of newspaper, literary editor of yearbook, managing editor of school radio station, girls athletic society, field hockey and clubs. I was very busy and enjoyed it.


4) It was his track coach who introduced Pat to the new girl in school, Shirley Foley. Three years later Pat and Shirley married, and remained man and wife for 65 years, until her death earlier this year. Who is the longest married couple you know?
 
I guess my parents.

5) Pat has lived in the same house for more than 60 years. He once received an offer to sell it for $18,000,000 but turned it down because it's the Boone family home and he simply doesn't want to leave. Do you plan on moving in the foreseeable future?

  No,I can't afford to move but I would like a bigger house.

6) Pat has a warm friendship with his neighbors, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne. Pat has mentioned in interviews that he has enjoyed bike rides around Beverly Hills with Sharon. Tell us about one of your neighbors.
I had good neighbors when I was first married. Two lovely couples who were so nice to me.
One of them Bernie and Jacquie were extremely good to me when my daughter passed away.  I will never forget them.

7) Mr. Boone was very critical of Barack Obama, enthusiastically supports Donald Trump, and has appeared on Fox News to express his views. How do you feel about celebrities talking politics?

They have a right to talk about whatever they want.  It is up to the public to filter and decide for themselves.  I am no fan of any politician. Not one of them. I think they are all sleazy crooks.

  

8) In 1957, the year this song was popular, Dr. Ian Donald pioneered the use of ultrasound technology. Today ultrasounds are commonly used by doctors in diagnosing conditions affecting the eyes, blood vessels, kidneys, gall bladder and more. Have you ever had an ultrasound?

Yes. 

9) Random question: You're sitting alone in a restaurant, waiting for a friend. The waiter brings you a drink and the compliments of a member of the opposite sex seated at the bar. What's your reaction? Are you flattered, shocked, embarrassed, intrigued or annoyed?
 
Intrigued and embarrassed and a bit cynical and unsure.  I think there are better ways to get my attention.

   I once had a man pay for my dinner that way. He left right after so I had no chance to find out what was up. Very strange but I kind of knew him since I ate lunch at his deli everyday. His Italian deli was just up the street from my job and I got a sandwich there daily. The food was delicious. He was very sweet.

Tomorrow is Sunday Stealing.. will we see you there?
