"It's Alright to Cry" was a song Anna and I both liked to sing. I'm always trying to get Ruby to sing it with me because she has such a stiff upper lip. I found the video on youtube. It was made in the 70's with the original singer, Rosie Grier (an All-Pro defensive tackle and part of the "Fearsome Foursome," one of the best defensive lines in football history). He also was into needlepoint. Fun to watch while you enjoy a tastee delight.

Anna gave me the "Free to Be You and Me" DVD for xmas a couple of years ago and we watched it in bed together at Woo's house, riveted.
We listened to that record a zillion- zillion times when we were little. It had a big influence on her: it influenced the "Free to Fight" project, and some of the lyrics in her John Starks song...
(p.s. note in the Rosie Grier video that he doesn't even really pretend to play the guitar, he just holds it and gentrly stums it once in a while. we had a good chuckle over that one...)
Alicia,
On Anna's behalf, I must ask: do you have any idea what a defensive tackle is? Looks to me like you've been doing a little Wikipediaing, Cohen. :) xoxo
