Maybe I'm a weirdo, as Pooky (Liza Minelli) from The Sterile Cuckoo, might have said, but during the time of wonderful American radio, when there was freedom, before the days when 3 companies owned everything., and you could you could listen to music that gave you an idea of how wide and beautiful things could be, you were lucky like me.
I listened to Andy Williams and watched his TV show, and marveled at both him and Dean Martin, as they reached into something beyond us and themselves. At the same I loved the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, and there was room for everything.
Now there is so much resistance to seeing things from a wider vision. If you can't imagine what it was like to hear "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procul Harem followed by Andy Williams doing the love theme from Romeo and Juliet, you will never know what the decade and radio within it was like.
I will miss him so much, because he made it seem so easy. This guy was always honest in his artistry. Even though he was a Republican he loved Bobby Kennedy through and through.
I miss those days when folks could have feelings that were beyond party and just had to do with love for a similar spirit. He was always beautiful and gracious, and we are less without him.
Goodbye Andy, I will miss you. You gave all. my huckleberry friend, and I love you. I hope to be as good a man as you someday.
