Any of you have mothers who sang constantly? Parents who played musical instruments?
This occurred to me last week because I was visiting with my ladies (ages 79 and 81), and heaven knows why, but I found myself singing, "Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do ..." to the older woman. She was tickled pink because I knew all the words, and, yes, even at 57, I'm way too young to know them. Heck, Mom is. It was her grandmother who sang it to her.
There's a saying (and I might not have it right): Luckier than me you shall never be; I had a mother who read to me.
But I think "Sang" could be right in there as well.
Now I'm going to try to see which simple songs I know or can find, just a few stanzas to sing to her. My voice sucks, but she doesn't care.
