This Week's Saturday 9...

Can't We Talk It Over

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?  I try to speak from my heart in all of my relationships, but it is more difficult with some people.  I'm just done with drama in my life, so there are a few folks I am careful around.

 

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.  I've had a lot of company these past couple of months.

 

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?  A woman here in my community named Donna is busy with activities all the time.  Blogging friend, Jean is an energizer bunny!  Several of my blogging friends are energizer bunnies running rings around me!!

 
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, I think some dreams can certainly come true, but not from wishing on a star (sorry).  God is in control.

 

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?  Yes, I have siblings.  I am the oldest of four, and many of those "firstborn" traits can be found in me.

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 Lennon Sisters!!  I grew up watching the Lawrence Welk Show and always loved the Lennon Sisters!

 

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 is doing it today, so hopefully he created it.

 

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 have soft-sided luggage from Samsonite.  It is medium blue.  We bought good luggage for our trip to Italy back in 2007.  I have three pieces and gave my sister, Tammy, Joe's two pieces.

9) Random question: Who was the last person to phone you? Did you pick up, or did it go to voicemail?  I had to look.  It was Sheri, the woman who did my painting these past few days.

Peace and Hugs!

What can wash away my sin?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

What can make me whole again?
