Tony! Tony! Tony!

Tea: Blood Orange with Honey

Music: Edison Lighthouse, "Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes"; First Class, "Beach Baby"; White Plains, "My Baby Loves Lovin'";

Time: Night.

I found myself in a bubblegum mood tonight .... and perhaps the king of one-hit-wonderful confection is Tony Burrows.

He sang lead on all three of tonight's musical selections -- and had hits with two other "groups," The Pipkins ("Gimme Dat Ding") and The Brotherhood of Man ("United We Stand.")

So why am I writing about him?

Because sometimes, as I've said before, it's good to celebrate the unabashedly lightweight, lighthearted, lightness of a good pop song. Lots of things worse than bobbing your head and singing along with something you haven't heard in years, you know?

C'mon, sing with me ... "I'm a lucky fella, I've just gotta tell her, that I love her endlessly ..."
