[Woman] I don't remember much
about when I was a kid.
:01:32
I remember the summers.
Bungalow Bar and Johnny Ride the Pony.
:01:37
Listenin'to 45s
on the Close 'N Play.
:01:39
Oh, most of all, sittin'on the front
stoop with my best friend Teen...
:01:43
and her six sisters
playin'beauty parlor.
:01:45
I was eleven years old.
:01:47
I looked like a 40-year-old divorcee
with a drinkin'problem.
:01:54
I had no brothers
or sisters...
:01:56
which in a Catholic neighborhood
like Bensonhurst
made me kinda like a Martian.
:02:02
I gotta go
change the record.
:02:06
- Put on "Band Of Gold. "
- Yeah, that sounds good.
:02:09
My mother left
when I was three.
:02:12
I didn't know much about her except
she was an Italian from Texas...
:02:15
that Pop met when he was
in the army down there.
:02:17
She's what my Aunt Vicky
called a "free spirit. "
:02:20
I knew she was livin'
back in Texas somewhere...
:02:23
but no one ever talked about her,
least of all my pop.
:02:26
Every year we signed a Christmas card
and mailed it down to her sister...
:02:29
but that's as close
as I ever got.
:02:31
- Hey!
- Who's this?
:02:34
- No one. Give it back!
- Is it your mother?
:02:36
My mother told me she used to dance
half naked in the snow.
:02:38
She's a free spirit.
:02:40
Back off!
:02:44
[Giggling]

**All that's left
is a band of gold **
:02:51
**All that's left
of the dreams I hold **
:02:55
**Is the band of gold
and the memories **
