Grandma, “Forever In My Song”
Posted by: | CommentsHello Everyone;
I must say that I have been overwhelmed by the number of emails both requesting that I do more Sinatra,
Elvis and Tom Jones, Neil Diamond and Dean Martin songs as I have always done, but more and more frequently people are asking for more Brian Roman.
It seems that the song “As Long As I Have Music” has become the favourite of many and has become my theme song and a show favourite.
“Forever in My Song” has also gained a lot of notice. This song was written by Al Salci with lyrics by non other than myself Brian Roman.
You see I believe that I was the last to see my grandmother before she died. She called me and asked: ’son would you mind bringing me a pair of those clip on sun glasses, I am going to the Thousand Islands this weekend with some of the folks in my building.” so off I went, I delivered the sunglasses and on my way out Grandma stood in the threshold of her apartment, half in and half out and as she waved good bye she said: “thank you son” and as I walked toward the elevator I turned and waved back to grandma “Bye Grandma, have a nice trip.”…… Well she never did go on that trip. One of her friends found her in bed on Monday morning with her glasses still on, her false teeth still in and the book open on her chest…. I know she had a nice trip…. Grandma now shows up all the time, in the strangest but very obvious ways. “She is there always here inside looking out for me and for my song” “When I think about my life, all the things I’ve seen, when I think about the times we had and things that might have been.” …… I think as you get to know this one you will fall in love with it too.
The next CD is almost here and will include more classics and I think a hint of me singing in another language or two.
Enjoy. All the very best, Brian
