I didn’t get a chance to make an updated video so this one I made four years ago during quarantine will have to suffice to celebrate my dad’s milestone 80th birthday. (At least we all look four years younger in these photos!)

Music Monday – “He said ‘Son, you ever been to Vegas?’ I said ‘No’/He said ‘That’s where we’re gonna go, You need a change of pace’/And when we hit the strip with all the wedding chapels and the neon signs/He said ‘I left my wallet in El Segundo’ and proceeded to take two grand of mine/We made tracks to the Mandalay Bay hotel/Asked the bell boy if he’d take me and my monkey as well?”

Such a good song.  Loved the Robbie Williams documentary on Netflix too! “Me and My Monkey” – Robbie Williams
