So Round, So Firm

Del and Pepper (?), from Barbara, what a nice story I am enjoying it, them, the stories. The storeys, storys, whatever short spelling of it is plural is for story is. I used to know how to spell, which you have heard about before.

1957! Was that not a great year? I got a sneak peek of Kent’s story of the day. 1957 feature prominently. I happen to be a vintage ’57 person, as is my wife. We are prejudiced in favor of the year. Well, that and the launching of Sputnik which got the government all hot to do space better and educate kids better. We benefitted from that quickly put into play the science and math bits in education. Yay for them.

To avoid talking about the second-ever impeachment of a president with hopes that the Senate can scratch together the votes for a conviction. Yes, to avoid typing about that because you have heard of it and have your own opinions on it and I have said enough that you have the cheering or that guy talking about something that doesn’t belong here and so I won’t.

Lawrence Welk, how was your reaction there? We have a friend, Billy Flood, who plays the accordion. Of course, he played songs made famous by Lawrence Welk. He would also watch him on the TV. I insisted that this was a form of child abuse when done in front of his daughter. If you care to weigh in on the matter I will ignore it. I still believe that playing his music in front of children is a form of abuse – for reruns older than 10 years old. And I am objecting to The Lawrence Welk Show that my family watched every week in my youth. I do not recall liking it then. It is not like Bonanza or Green Acres or whatever else I survived back then. The rest of these were at least passable. Well, see the attached photo. It seems Mr. Welk was not always the bandleader he was that we knew. That piece of music was copyrighted in 1947. Wow!
