Take a tip from me. Don’t ever, ever listen to Johnny Mathis and his hit songs unless you are ready to get moony eyed while walking in the clouds. I just did this a while ago and I found out that the experience could screw up schedules and put you in a romantic time warp. Now I am familiar with how Mathis sounds. But the only times I had really listened to him were to his old Broadway album and his Christmas songs which I must say, are truly great.
