Well, Hello Dolly! She ain’t quite like Barbara Streisand and neither does he have any resemblance with Louis – but both were really really happy together when Dolly came over for a visit with Pádraig’s music therapist. I felt so happy just watching the two. And it made me think again about the beautiful companionship of a (therapy) dog…

Hello Dolly is, of course, not just a song, but a full movie! Watch the arm-swinging dance at 1:07 and the kicks at 1:34 in the original movie or, if you prefer, Louis in 1965 Berlin with his All Stars and the incredibly swinging version of this absolutely impossible, incredibly dated, totally non-pc song. You’ll love it!
