Volare
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
7) In 1960, when this record was popular, so were hand-loomed, 100% virgin wool sweaters from Italy. You could order one from the Sears catalog for $12.60 (approx. $135 in today's dollars). That sweater was labeled "dry clean only." Do you have any garments waiting to be picked up from the cleaners? no, but I am planning to go to the laundromat after breakfast
8) Also in 1960, Princess Margaret married photographer Antony Armstrong-Jones. They met when he was commissioned to take her official portrait. Who took the most recent photo of you? it was a selfie
1) The word "volare" is Italian for "to fly." Say something else in Italian. ciao bella
2) This week, Bobby Rydell invites us to take off with him up in the clouds and promises we'll find a rainbow. Countless lyricists have included rainbows in their songs. Can you name another song that mentions rainbows? The Rainbow Connection

3) His happy heart is singing. What is making you happy this morning? I'm answering this Friday evening--and I'm happy that I will be starting my day (Saturday) with my Breakfast Club
4) Bobby Rydell, like Frankie Avalon and Fabian, was a 1950s teen idol who hailed from Philadelphia. Home to the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, Philly is Pennsylvania's most populous city. Have you ever been there? it was the destination of my very first flight
5) Bobby was such a perfect example of a clean-cut American boy that when Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey sat down to write the play Grease, they named their fictional high school Rydell High after him. Do you have a favorite song from Grease? today I'll go with "Beauty School Drop Out"
6) In addition to singing, Bobby also acted. His most famous film role was opposite Ann-Margret in Bye, Bye, Birdie (1963). Have you seen it? yes

I love that your breakfast club still meets faithfully!
Beauty School Dropout, great choice
I included a clip featuring Frankie Avalon on my Sat. 9, and you named Beauty School Drop Out. It's gonna be a Frankie week here at Sat 9.
