Elvis and Me?

I'm listening to music this morning 'cuz the Marys went to beach and the kids are at school. It's the first time I've been alone since we moved here. I came across this Lisa Marie Presley cover of Don't Cry Daddy.

I have to admit when Natalie Cole did her duet with Nat a few years back- it made me kind of nauseous. For some reason this Lisa Marie and Elvis duet made me feel horribly nostalgic?

It was so strange to hear it. As any late 60's/early 70's child of divorce can tell you; that song always makes you think of having "the conversation" with one or both of your parents just before your dad moves out.

You know the old standbys- It's not your fault, don't feel bad, daddy has to move out or mommy will be forced to kill him in his sleep etc.....
