My mother did too, and my sister and I sang while we did the dishes. We also sang in a church choir. Singing is good for the heart and spirit.<br />Anne Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033138385514434006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-87731054430290837622014-04-14T16:40:02.854-04:002014-04-14T16:40:02.854-04:00HI Maxie,

I only had one sister, so I'm jealous. I think families were closer back then before all the children had cell phones and stayed in constant contact with friends rather than family!<br /> Anne Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033138385514434006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-39900847777821671032014-04-14T14:27:06.412-04:002014-04-14T14:27:06.412-04:00I do recognize some of those songs and they are wo...I do recognize some of those songs and they are wonderful to listen to.

I know of a band that used to play at this resort, but your post gives me so much more to work with. My dad sang a lot of old songs but I don't know that they went back as far as the 20's: Down By the Old Mill Stream, K-K-K-Katy, I Dream of Jeannie with the Light Brown Hair, Bicycle Built for Two. Now that makes me wonder what my kids remember me singing around the house!

And lots of Big Bands were playing. Glenn Miller and his band were my favorites for years and still love them. I don't remember my mother singing but the rest of our family always did. I had seven siblings. My Mom and Dad married in 1921 when she was 15 and him 21. I still love the older songs. My oldest brother was in WW ll and I was 9 and 10, but remember it well. I loved this post and the memories. Thanks. Maxie mac262(at)me(dot)commaudemaxine@gmail.co,https://www.blogger.com/profile/11612461543816484090noreply@blogger.com
