I Can Hardly Contain Myself

Holiday season is approaching, and you know what that means! It's time to start talking about Andy Williams and ramping up my efforts to be named his Biggest Fan. Because I love him. Even though he's 40 years older than me, I don't think it's a bit weird.

Imagine my excitement when Ann sent me a link to this today:



Andy has a new biography coming out on October 13! As Andy's Biggest Fan, I probably should have figured this out myself, but fortunately Ann is looking out for me. Thanks, Ann!

So, now I have this plan. Eamonn is reading this here for the first time. . .

At first I wondered, should I pre-order the book myself? Or should I ask for it for Christmas? And then I decided I should order it now and take it to Branson at Thanksgiving and have Andy sign it. Because as soon as Andy finds out I'm coming to Branson, I feel certain he will invite me for Thanksgiving dinner. I feel he must be that kind of guy.

I'm telling you, I've got to figure out a way to get back to Branson before Andy stops doing his show. Yes, money is tight, but at this point, I'm willing to go camp on the shores of Lake Taneycomo to make this trip happen! Yes, I love Andy that much that I'm willing to camp. In Branson. In November. Actually, I think I can find pretty cheap accomodations in Branson, it's kind of like Vegas that way--not that I've ever been to Vegas, but you get the idea.

So, if any of Andy's close, personal friends, like the Osmonds, read this blog, put in a good word for me, Andy's Biggest Fan, and let him know I'm trying my darndest to get there.

Eamonn, I swear I'll never ask for another birthday or Christmas present for as long as I live. . .

If you get Andy Williams, I get a hippo! (Now that song is stuck in your head...)

Maybe you could beg the parental units for assistance in funding your trip...that could be their gift to you...

You crack me up - but I am definitely up for a road trip if you are... I love Andy Williams, too! A hundred years ago... when I was a kid, I remember my parents always went from tire store to tire store to get all the Christmas albums... Andy Williams is as comfortable and welcoming as a fire in the fireplace and the smell of a turkey in the oven to me.
