The one I know - and on her back was a Union Jack and up and down her spine were the Queens own garden lines.

We did have a radio and one of my memories is listening to my dad in the kitchen, whistling while he listened to the farm reports on the radio and cooked breakfast. Somehow your post brought all that that back.<br /><br />I've never heard either of those songs either, which is a little bit surprising because between my grandparents and my dad, I've heard some doozies. My grandmother, too, sang me the oooooold ones--more from the roaring '20s, but old just the same.<br /><br />Thanks for the trip down memory lane.Texhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17432175759270143492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333078797879411990.post-91055732540471027222009-09-27T12:10:21.302-04:002009-09-27T12:10:21.302-04:00Janet - We sang all of the kids songs but I can...Janet - We sang all of the kids songs but I can't remember if we learned them at home or at school. We eventually got a turntable but the only albums I remember were a couple by Tennessee Ernie Ford. Christmas music was church choir and Girl Scout caroling and I probably drove Dad nuts practicing.<br /><br />Jasia - Always happy to provide a good laugh! Now you've got me laughing and my husband is just shaking his head.Charley "Apple" Grabowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193646109965731249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333078797879411990.post-71386735936955848742009-09-27T11:28:04.381-04:002009-09-27T11:28:04.381-04:00So I'm sitting at Panera Bread this morning, e...So I'm sitting at Panera Bread this morning, enjoying a spinach and artichoke souffle and a Diet Coke. It's a quiet morning. There are people around but not a lot of them. I'm reading my feeds when I come across your article. So of course I have to click on it. <br /><br />I'm reading about your family campfire songs and I get to the lyrics of the first one. I was trying to picture your mom and dad and little kids sitting around a campfire and that's when it happened. I burst out in loud gaffaws... could't contain myself! There were tears leaking from my eyes and people were staring at me like I was from Mars. It was hilarious and embarrassing all at the same time! <br /><br />At least I wasn't sipping on my drink at the time so I didn't end up with Diet Coke coming out my nose ;-) <br /><br />Thanks for the belly laugh, even if I did have to walk out of the restaurant with people staring at me!Jasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561520746304048996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333078797879411990.post-90438112485369311872009-09-27T08:26:31.584-04:002009-09-27T08:26:31.584-04:00Apple, I don't know either of those songs.

We had a record player at home and I still have some of the 78s, so I am sure we sang - Here comes Peter Cotton Tail and all the Christmas favourites too.<br /><br />I will have to ask my sister to see if she remembers.Janet Ileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10742257036879298830noreply@blogger.com
