The amazement and pride and joy of the audience >> turned to guffaws as he then said, "If my wife finds out, she’ll >> kill me!" And that’s how it continued for better than an hour, >> interspersing jokes with piano-accompanied songs. >> >> Mr. Lewis is a middle-aged business man who shifted gears five >> years ago from the 9-5 life to show business. His songs included >> those by Fats Domino (still living), "Blueberry Hill", "My Blue >> Heaven"; "Harbor Lights" by Sammy Kaye, Elvis’ "Blue Suede Shoes" >> which was cleverly mixed in with "In the Mood" and on with that >> uplifting "What A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong, all joyful >> listening. >> >> The Mashpee Senior Center, again was filled to the brim and the >> enjoyment was palpable. Mr. Lewis played songs that made sense, >> told of true feelings and brought back so many incidents in our >> lives. Amazingly, no matter the age of the songs, they are so >> imbedded in our minds that we could precisely follow the words and >> enjoy hearing them again. Once more the phrase was repeated by both >> the performer and the listeners, "They just don’t write them like >> that any more". > > > ![]() |
