Jim Nabors Sings "Back Home Again in Indiana"


Lots of people, including me, will be crying today as Jim Nabors sings this for the last time at the Indianapolis 500 as the balloons float up.   It's one of the most special traditions during the pre-race ceremonies.  He's been singing it since 1972, and he's 83 this year.   HERE is a link to a nice article about him and this tradition.  Be sure to click on the video at the bottom to hear "Back Home Again in Indiana".

The only hope is that my cousin Paul will take over!  I think he's been practicing for years!    

Happy Memorial weekend!
