That Lucky Old Sun

from Failing Up · host Timothy Mahar

On February 4th, 1988, thirty eight years ago, my father Thomas Francis,"Te Te" Mahar passed away at the age of 55yrs. This podcast is a tribute to my father the love we shared, and lessons I learn during the 8 months leading up to his death. This is shared through the lyrics of his favorite song, Frankie Lane's 1949 hit, "That Luck Old Sun". A song that played constantly during this time, and is a warm hug to this day. As the song say's: " like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do, but roll around heaven all day." I know my dad and his friends are rolling. timothymahar.org
