Can't not play or hear the song "Hollywood Nights" by Bob Seger ...and NOT smile or thing of my dad...was at my dad's visitation..feeling very sad and overwhelmed...dad's visitation was at my church....then....I hear something....the music over the speaker playing in the background..it's this sound..i smile and laugh to myself...the line is out the door....over 300 people showed that night..cat workers...factory workers...worked with steal...hot, sweat..came as they were...we didn't care...a true testament to the man was my dad was...it goes through my mind it was the one on and only time that I would probably ever hear this song come out over the church audio system....all pure Skip....it made me smile...and this song got me through that night...and somehow....on those days....when I need an "angel"....those hard times...I will hear this song...Believe what you want....it's my Skipsy...saying to keep my chin up....and give it all I got...and I keep smiling...because Skip wouldn't have it any other way.
