Transported back in time

Andy Williams died this week.

His song "Moon River" and his TV show were part of the backdrop of my childhood. 

His passing reminds me I have been around a long time.  His passing takes me back to my childhood, a time so very different than my life now.  His passing makes me think of my father.  I picture him singing "Moon River."  When I was a kid, if there was a song playing, my dad was singing.   

Don't get me wrong.  I am not looking back with sadness, it's more of a fondness.  Fondness for a simpler and more innocent time of my life.  I wouldn't want to go back, but for just a few moments, it's kind of nice to reminisce.
