  16. I could sing the bridge of Mocking bird hill by memory right now. My great grandmother used to sit in her rocker on the front porch and sing it over and over!

  23. Hi Linda! I'm sorry that I have fallen behind on reading your blog ~ I don't have much on-line time while I'm traveling. Your Laughs Gag had me in stitches! "The Church in the Wildwood" was sung at my mother's funeral. I remember the mad scramble we had trying to find the music and words for it. A little birch chapel in the woods in Nova Scotia was always special to my mother. There are so many great things in this post! Take care!

  24. Shirley Temple and Annette were a time of elegance, nice to see that clip and I enjoyed the Carter family singing.

    Hope today is a good day for you Linda.

  31. Some memories here LInda, I always loved Victor Borge's humor, subtle comedy at it's best. Learned all about the Carter family on my trip to Nashville, very influential. I don't remember the Lennon sisters, but Mockingbird Hill was a big hit in the 60's in the U.K for the Migil 5. Great stuff.
