Hello.

I do these on Thursday or Friday and always forget to put my name on the Mister Linky so then someone else has to do it for me.   Hopefully I remember this week but it's a habit now and so I doubt I will..sigh.

Anyway, here is my Saturday 9.

"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: I Fall in Love Too Easily (1945)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune?   Here it is by New Jersey's own Frank Sinatra because I don't  care for Dinah Shore's voice at all.

    

1) In this song, Dinah Shore admits that her impetuous romances don't work out. Do you consider yourself impulsive?

I can be at times.  Usually I try to think things through but, there are times I just seem to know what  I want.  So far it's worked out though never with people.  

Cahn and Styne.

2) The songwriting team of Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne composed this in a single evening. Since
the song is rather short Sammy considered adding another verse, but Jule thought better of it, saying, "No. That's it." Are you more like Sammy and keep revising, tinkering and tweaking? Or, like Jule, do you find it easy to leave well enough alone?

 I like to leave well enough alone.   Monkeying around with stuff or people is a mistake usually.

3) The song was introduced in Anchors Aweigh, a movie about two sailors who find love during a two-day leave in New York. Have you ever enjoyed a romance while on holiday?

 No never have. 

4) Though Frank Sinatra sang the song in the movie, Dinah's version was also popular. Her record sales in the 1940s were boosted by concerts, radio appearances and performances for the troops.    What singer who is no longer with us do you wish you could have seen in concert?

I am not sure.   

5) Dinah was shy with new people, but discovered as a high school cheerleader that she was good in front of a crowd. Give us one of your high school cheers.

"Push em back, push em back waaaay back"..

6) She loved golf and was so good at it, she became the first woman admitted as a member to the prestigious Hillcrest Country Club in Los Angeles.    What's your best sport? 

 Well, not golf.   I was good at soft ball back in the day... long ago and far away(which is also a nice tune).

7) Dinah found her greatest success in television. She was so popular for so long that she was able to afford a luxury home, built to her specifications, in Palm Springs.   Leonardo DiCaprio now owns it.    Do you know who lived in your home before you moved in?

 Yes.  One family before me but I have lived here the longest of anyone.

8) In 1945, when this song was popular, Abbott and Costello appeared in the movie The Naughty Nineties, which featured their famous "Who's On First" routine. Do you know it?

 I sure do.   It was a wonderful comedy skit!

9) Random question – Fill in the blank: After all these years, I still __________.

I still many things and none of them seem important enough to even mention.
