Something I sing to myself when I'm feeling blue. Wish I could whistle.

I picked up both habits fae Scarlet by the way.; 10:04 AM
Ms Scarlet said...: I was going to slap you at Ponita's for the driving comment! But I will slap you here instead, Mr Jimmy!
I don't know, back 5 minutes and already causing chaos!
Sx

Apologies, Pat, I enjoyed the tune.; 10:20 AM
Pat said...: Jimmy: as you get older you 'll find you can do both together, perfectly easily. I'll bet you can whistle.

Scarlet: how did he know you were here? Uncanny! Pardon the pun.
Glad you like it even if it is a bit Pollyanna.; 10:43 AM
Unknown said...: Just been singing along with it (well, took the base line anyway) surprised how much of it came back. As you say Pat- bit Pollyanna, but why not occasionally? (Oh well, as 4Ds would say - There goes me street cred.)
Regards, Mike.; 12:13 PM
Sausage said...: Welocme home Mr. B.
Just in time for the end of the season; 12:37 PM
Queenie said...: I love it too! Thanks for the reminder.; 12:53 PM
Pat said...: Mike and Ann: thanks to Sting I now know the verse.

Sausage: excuse me for interrupting but what season is that then?

Queenie: hope you're singing along; 1:30 PM
Granny Annie said...: Lovely fun. Oh I wish I could whistle. My dad was an excellent whistler and it always fascinated me.; 4:12 PM

cheers, parsnip; 5:00 PM
OldLady Of The Hills said...: I don't know this song---It certainly is a perky uplift!

Dear dear Pat....thanks for your very sweet words. I agree with you on all that you said---it's just right now, the actual 'fact' is very very hard to fathom.
One of the things that is a wonderful bonus where Betty is concerned is all the film and tape and DVD things that are out there.
And, by the way,There is a wonderful "TRIBUTE TO BETTY GARRETT on YouTube by Rick McKay, the fantastic man who's brilliant film "THE GOLDEN AGE OF BROADWAY" is such a treasure. This clip is almost 15 minutes and so great---He included Betty talking about "SPPON RIVER"....if you can spare the time--it is a gem of a video.; 5:36 PM
Pat said...: Granny Annie: it's a gift. One of my school friend's mother whistled beautifully and she would perform in public. She was tiny with an enormous bosom and looked like a pretty pouter? pigeon.

Parsnip: yes we've just planted fragrant lilies - something to look forward to.

Naomi: I just watched the tribute and Betty's great warmth came through. An excellent interview and I've put it on Face Book.; 11:55 PM
Sausage said...: Pat, may apologies just an attempt to say hello to JB. FOOTBALL season; 1:25 AM
kenju said...: I can't whistle either (too many spaces between my teeth) :-/; 2:14 PM
Pat said...: Sausage: of course:) I'm happy to be his Poste Restante - as long as he's around.

Judy: maybe that's why I can't.; 11:10 PM
Sheri said...: Love this little tune---and also love Sting. Two instant hits for me, luv.; 10:44 PM
