When I was growing up in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, my mom sang throughout the day, no matter what she was doing. So these older songs really speak to me and bring her joyous embrace of life back to me.<br /><br />And thanks also for this introducing me to this gorgeous butterfly. Did you really see it in your garden???? And is this a photo that your husband took! I marvel. Peace.

WE love butterflies!<br />https://georgiagirlwithanenglishheart.blogspot.com/2012/10/arabia-mountain-under-butterflys-wing.html<br />There, if you copy and paste you will see a close up of a Monarch! That was a post of mine from 2012! LOL!<br />Guess what??? Oh, it makes me giggle but the thing that made me think of doing this post was because my husband JUST started playing Chattanooga Choo Choo on the guitar (he plays all the time but found that The Shadows had done this song and it made him pick it out). It sounds great on the guitar too!<br />(My husband and son both play guitar and they are GREAT!!)<br />Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-44017210949849892942020-08-29T21:47:05.570-04:002020-08-29T21:47:05.570-04:00What a beautiful butterfly!

For some reason it seems we don't have as many butterflies in this area as we once did. I wonder if it's because it gets so hot here. Or maybe I just don't have enough blossoms around to attract them. By this time every summer most everything has fried!!!! My daddy used to play guitar and he would sometimes sing CHATANOOGA CHOO CHOO:) Hadn't thought about that in years!!!CHERIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16339717663308847703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-74509242655870016032020-08-29T15:15:16.333-04:002020-08-29T15:15:16.333-04:00Glad you liked the song too!

Luckily, it's a fave song of mine! So bouncy and upbeat -- a true classic.<br /><br />I must tell you -- tomorrow afternoon My Rare One and I are going to a small local recital being held outdoors in a curling rink parking lot (for social distancing). It's a performance of Vera Lynn songs by a young acquaintance of ours! Well, she's probably in her 30s, but that's young to us.

He said, "They fit the n-n-n-notes!" OH! If you don't see one film I tell you about, I wish you would find that one! Doris Day plays his wife and they are both just perfect! AND about songwriting, so you know it is special to me. (Gus Kahn wrote the lyrics to songs when he had many others write the music.)Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-6520957474402425562020-08-28T16:34:09.743-04:002020-08-28T16:34:09.743-04:00That "American Lady" is now one of my fa...That "American Lady" is now one of my favorites.
