Can we Talk?

Well, it's late afternoon Friday and the week is over.       My food for tonight and tomorrow are cooked       and I a done for the week.   

One of this week's questions about the comic strip Peanuts made me think of Snoopy and I just included him here because, why not?  He just adds to some simple joy of life I think.  

Now to add a bit more to life's experiences here is this week's Saturday 9 from Sam Winters... enjoy.

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Saturday 9: Can't We Talk It Over (1950)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune?         Hear it here.

1) In this song, The Andrews Sisters plead for verbal communication.  Is there someone you'd like to engage in a heart-to-heart conversation?

 Not really.    

2) They want to sit together for this talk. Think about the most recent personal conversation you had. Was it in person, over the phone, or via Zoom?

 In person.

3) This week's tune was written by Victor Young. He was prolific, earning 22 Oscar nominations in 18 years. (His one win came after his sudden death at age 57.) Think about your friends and family. Who is the most active, productive person you know?

My daughter who by herself renovated her kitchen and 2 bathrooms from the sub floor up.  She also rennovated my bathroom from the subfloor up while working full time at a very demanding job and  advising people on their small businesses. 

 

4) The lyrics were written by Ned Washington, who is perhaps best remembered for "When You Wish Upon a Star" from Disney's Pinocchio. Do you believe, like Jiminy Cricket, that dreams come true?     Yes, Dreams can come true.

5) This week's song is performed by The Andrews Sisters -- LaVerne, Maxine and Patty. Do you have siblings? If yes, are you the oldest, the middle child, or the baby?

I am not my father's only child but I am the only child of my mother and father.

6) With more than 80 million records sold, the Andrews Sisters remain one of the most successful female vocal groups of all time. Name another girl group.

 The Marvelettes (Beechwood 4 5789), the Chordettes (Lollipop) ,  The Lennon Sisters (Lawrence Welk Show) , The Supremes, 

7) In 1950, the year "Can't We Talk It Over" was released, we were introduced to the Peanuts comic strip. Without looking it up, do you know who created Peanuts?

 Charles Schultz. 

 

8) In 1950, most suitcases were hard sided rectangles, with no wheels and a small handle at the top. They came in colors like tan, copper, green and blue. What does your luggage look like?

I no longer have any luggage.  When I did,  it was an aqua blue.

I have a weekend duffle bag kind of thing.  

9) Random question: Who was the last person to phone you?    Did you pick up, or did it go to voice mail?

No phone calls ina while.  Texts, yes, but not actually calls.
