Cybil and Frank

As a followup to my post on Frank Sinatra the other day, Bill Mitchell sent me this email:

Just finished my morning with Buzzy’s blog… Check out the lyrics to Frank’s rendition of “Winners”.  When I was coaching Girls Basketball at Ryken, we used to sing along with Frank following every win.  The Class of 2002 won 39 of 40 games over two years, really took the song to heart, and became quite vocal along the way.

“Winners” lyrics follow.  (Thanks Bill.)
Here’s to the winners, lift up the glasses
Here’s to the glory still to be
Here’s to the battle, whatever it’s for
To ask the best of ourselves then give much more

Here’s to the heroes, those who move mountains
Here’s to the mountains they make us see
Here’s to all brothers, here’s to all people
Here’s to the winners all of us can be.
Then last night Pam and I stumbled upon Cybil Shepherd in a Hallmark movie  Mrs. Washington Goes to Smith.  I usually try to avoid watching anything on Hallmark, but always had a thing for the Moonlighting lady, so we watched it.  In keeping with Bill’s girls basketball theme, here’s the movie’s climatic scene.
