My father, Paul, is the good-looking guy on the left in both photos.

Let's move into the 21st century for this week's Saturday Song Selection and listen to another flight of imagination, this one about a "Holiday in Spain." I love this song.

The song is "Holiday in Spain" by Counting Crows.
Thanks to suzanne262 for posting this video and the lyrics on YouTube.

ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome man!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for both posts; your earlier one movingly contasts with the happy shots in the more recent post. Mixed emotions indeed.
ReplyDeleteThose are two spectacular photographs. So full of life, so unlike so many posed and wooden photographic records.

This song is very cool, and it's my favorite one of theirs I think! these guys are lucky they weren't playing around the plane in the air, right?!
ReplyDeleteThese shots are great fun. I've got so many shots my father took of guys in his squadrons messing around. Unfortunately he can't remember any of their names.
ReplyDeleteThese are such wonderful photos!
