"Frankie Avalon as well."

So there's Anka, Dion, Avalon, and Fabian is still performing.

A Lebanese and three Italians. They eat right.

When I was about twelve years old, I went with two other girls to the Weile's Ice Cream Shoppe on University Boulevard near the U of Maryland for one of their spectacular dishes of ice cream with pink and green whipped cream. We were the only customers in the place until Paul Anka and his manager came in and sat in the booth just across the aisle from us. We were repressed little Protestant girls and stifled our giggles, but I have to say, it was a surreal experience.

He must have been performing, because his face was caked with orange makeup, and he was sweaty. Also, it being the old days when men were supposed to be "tall, dark and handsome", we were surprised that he was so short that he was wearing Cuban heels. We just tittered and did not rush over and clamour for his autograph. The guy who would one day write "I Did It My Way" and make a gazillion dollars. Missed our chance. He is 81 years old today and still touring.
