Our very own Dame Vera Lynn will be 100 years old next month, March 20th

Believe it or not she has a new album being released 3 days before her 100th birthday! I kid you not. Stewy

I'm already two fingers into a rather potent Kentucky bourbon...but I will raise what is left in the glass (I dare not refill the glass) to your National Treasure!

Maybe after dinner...I've been trying to kill this bottle for a month now as I have a new bottle I want to open and try...but dinner is about to be served and don't think the wife will take too kindly to me falling asleep at the table. LoL...
