May 30: Cool, cool, kitty… “Boy From New York City” written by George Davis & John T. Taylor and sung here in 1981 by The Manhattan Transfer.

We will forever miss Betsy but she lives on and on and on in our hearts (we all fell in love with her with just one glance). (Also, HB to Susan Terry and Happy Anniversary to Greg & Dana.)
