Did anyone spot my April Fool gag? Lizzie, apologies in advance.
Lizzie took us to task with this missive:
Attention please.
There will be no marijuana talk of any kind in any thread where I'm in charge, whether it's to praise it, criticize it, or discuss it in any other way. Period. I don't care if it's about the Era or not, I won't have it in here.
One warning, to everyone, and then I close the thread down. This is that warning.
It was April 1st Lizzie, and it was only a gentle send up. I followed your post with Ethel Merman singing Cole Porter's: "I Get a Kick Out of You." which has the immortal line:
"Some get a kick from cocaine,
I'm sure that if,
I took even one sniff,
It would bore me terrifically, too,
Yet I get a kick out of you."

Then just to reiterate that no malice was intended, I couldn't resist posting:
"Ain't Misbehavin' " Sorry Lizzie, (but did you get it?)

:pray2:Dear God, thank you for helping me get, and play the Melodeon, and Harmonica. I am extremely grateful for these gifts. Amen. :pray2:

In this video, I play the Beer Barrel Polka on my Weltmeister button box. :D

Last summer, during the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings, at Ste Mere Eglise, our friend was encouraged to get up and, "give us a song." Lorraine is an accomplished singer, opera trained. I think most people were expecting a sort of, out of tune kind of song, that gets sung at family parties. What happened next stunned them all into silence. Here she sings: "Requiem for a Soldier." There was not a dry eye at the end. Apologies about the dodgy camera work, but stick with it just to listen to Lorraine.
