I will always remember being at the Farley house when I was younger while Mrs. Farley would babysit by brother sister and I. When Mr. Farley came home, he would have Jacqui and I take his shoes off and rub his feet while singing....

"Oh this is the night, it's a beautiful night, and we call it bella notte. Look at the skies, they have stars in their eyes, on this lovely bella notte."
