Earlier this summer Green Shoe Studio launched this singer-songwriter contest.
It's a contest that someone can upload their video on to YouTube and send us the link.
We felt that was a good way that we could really tie in to the local community, and really get a feel for the music that's going on around here. But we didn't quite expect an entry like Fred's.
How did I meet Lorraine? She was a carhop at the A&W root beer stand.
She brought the trays to the car and that. . . That was in about 1938. We dated for two years, then we married.
June 26th would have been our seventy-third anniversary. She gave me seventy-five years of her life.
Well, she was just the prettiest girl I've ever saw. And she was real timid like, but, I just fell in love with her right there.
What made Fred's entry so special to us was, well, number one: It's an online singer-songwriter contest people are supposed to upload their videos.
But instead of a video, we received a very large manila envelope, titled Green Shoe Studio, Singer-Songwriter contest.
Well, I was excited to see what it was and opened it up, and lo and behold, it was a letter from a ninety-six-year-old man who said, " I've written this song for my wife."
