I remember how surprised I was when I found out it was a classic work of musical art and not just the theme song from a TV show. Didn't figure that out until I was in my teens.

It's beautiful, so perfect for the Lone Ranger...I don't think I knew it until well into my twenties and started taking an interest in classical music...

BUTTONS AND BOWS - Dinah Shore (East is east and west is west, and the wrong one I have chose; Let's go down to some old town, where they love a gal by the cut of her clothes, and I'm all your in Buttons and Bows.)

HOW MUCH IS THAT DOGGIE IN THE WINDOW

THE HIT PARADE, with Snooky Lanson

SHOOT THE LIKKER TO ME JOHN BOY, shoot the likker here and don't be coy.

Clementine was a favourite of my father's. I love the lot of the songs from America's deep South.

Dozy I think Blurt is especially fun, I end up recalling lots of stuff from childhood and those salad years.

Oh and I think I recall...your father used "Jesus wept" as an epithet?

I remember Disney coming on at 7 pm on Sunday night. We would go to the beach during the day, my grandmother stayed home and cooked a big meal. After dinner we watched Disney.

Janis...so nice to remember this song...I checked and it was released 1950, and Que Sera, Sera 1956.

I always especially admired her to stand by Rock Hudson after his AIDS diagnosis.
