So, What's the Moral of the Story?
Well, if you're still with me, you now know that Andy Williams was 84 when he died. But more importantly, you've learned that it's never too late to make your mark, to be a rebel, to sing a song that'll make people say, "Wow, that's smooth."
And hey, if you ever find yourself in Branson, Missouri, you can visit the Andy Williams Moon River Theatre. It's a nice little tribute to the man who could make even the sappiest love song sound cool.
So, cheers to Andy Williams, the smooth-voiced rebel who left us at the ripe old age of 84. And here's to you, my friend, may you always find the time to appreciate a good song.
