Do you think he meant Frank Sinatra singing My Way.
Or Bing singing 'Going My Way'

after my mum had her stroke and went completely ga ga, she kept having lucid moments where she could remember events from her childhood, (but couldn't remember a conversation more than 30 secs prior) We were in her back garden and my nephew was recording some garden birds, when my mum started to recite a poem from her childhood, word perfect. We played the recording at her funeral and there wasn't a dry eye in the church. It was this one

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Now that April's there,[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]And whoever wakes in England[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Sees, some morning, unaware,[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf,[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]In England - now! [/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]And after April, when May follows,[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]And the whitethroat builds, and all the swallows [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Hark! where my blossomed pear-tree in the hedge [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Leans to the field and scatters on the clover[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Blossoms and dewdrops - at the bent spray's edge [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]That's the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over,[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Lest you should think he never could recapture[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The first fine careless rapture! [/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]And though the fields look rough with hoary dew,[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]All will be gay when noontide wakes anew [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The buttercups, the little children's dower, - [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Far brighter than this gaudy melon-flower! [/FONT]

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8smO4VS9134]YouTube - Gerry & The Pacemakers - You'll Never Walk Alone[/ame]

always makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up whenever i hear it still(though probably won't at my funeral)

I met Gerry twice - I night he said hello and the next night he said 'hello John' - for me a really nice person.
The song 'an all time great' and if I wanted people to cry it would be my No 1!
