Oh, my God!!! All I'm seeing is songs from when I was in high school or later ... if you want to talk about aging try some of the really old Hank Williams, Sr. songs - like from the '40s. I can't even find the stuff on Youtube.

It's not a song....it's a melody my grandfather used to play in the piano .... I can't remember its name.

 

[BDBoop]

This is the first (last and only) song I ever saw my parents dance to. They showed us how to stroll. That was about ten years after the song became popular.

Back when my mom was five months pregnant with me (TADA!!!!) - this video was made.

A sweet "nothing song" my great-grandmother used to sing to me in Spanish.

My grandma! When I was lik 2-3 years old she'd hold ke on her lap with my head in the crook of her elbow, and sing the traditional lullaby. On the line "may those ______ eyes close tight," she'd pause, lift one of my eyelids, and then sing the color. Blue for me, brown for my sister.

Thanks for the memory.

Yes - I remember RaggMopp.

Do you remember "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose it's Flavor on the Bedpost Overnight?"

No. I didn't show up on planet earth until 1957.

 

[Ropey]

This is one of the first songs I remember.

Moody River - Pat Boone

 

[R.C. Christian]

Nancy Sinatra - Boots song.

 

[Sunshine]

Down in the Valley.


My mother sang it as a lullaby.

And when I sang along, I sang: "Down in the bowely"

I always like link sausage. Now, when I spend the night at my big brother's he cooks link sausage for me. I called them 'little piggies.'
