"They Can't Take That Away" takes on special meaning

This is Kim Allison, for Sylvia Bennett this time. Sylvia is my dear friend for many years and I also  work for her as manager and want to help keep her blog up to date when she is unable to do so. The following email came in and it is so touching, I wanted to share it with others.

I am working on this interview and I just transcribed these words of Sylvia’s as she spoke about the song, They Can’t Take That Away From Me. My best friend  lost her fiancé to cancer, last November. Seven years earlier she had come out of a horrendous marriage, and that is when I first met her. I just emailed Sylvia’s words to her. I thought that Sylvia should know that.

 I look at that song and I say to myself, if you are in love with somebody today, and even if tomorrow they are not in your life, they can’t take away that time that you had together.—Sylvia Bennett, May 2008

Radio Stations playing our song -- thank you!

It has been a whirlwind! I've had a wonderful time talking to radio program directors myself to thank them for playing "Songs from the Heart featuring The Three Tenors...Boots Randolph, Ed Calle & Kirk Whalum." Everyone I spoke with really apppreciated that I personally took the time to call them.  I want to thank Paul Richards of WHYI, Jack Roberts of CRN Digital, Jim Raposa of Jones Standard Radio and Chuck Southcott also of Jones Standard Radio, Warren Lawrence of WKNY, Tron Simpson of KCMN, Dick Carr of Big Bands, Ballands & Blues, Jeff Gehringer of KSPA/KFSD and Gary Houser of KABI.  And, there are more to add to that list and I'll talk about them all more in my next post. Whew!  It's been great! --from the heart, Sylvia
