My friend Stella wrote me

 "Kelvin, my husband, and I went to a Paul Anka concert last night, this is easily the most satisfying concert we've been to.  He is not only a gifted musician, also a consummate entertainer, with his many popular pieces (Diana, My Way, Put your head on my shoulder, etc.), interacting with audience at such ease, making great jokes, jamming with the band members, etc.

 

If you have a chance to catch him - it would be a treat."

 

Ahhh...Paul Anka and "Diana".  It certainly brings back some childhood memory.  Elvis' "Are you lonesome tonight", Cliff Richard's "Summer Holidays" and Tom Jones' "Delilah" are just a few of the songs we all listened to when we grew up.  These songs have probably taught us more English than all the English teachers put together.  "Those were the days, my friends..."
