Saturday Nine

 A Summer Song

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. 

Saturday 9: A Summer Song (1964)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it HERE!

I love this song!

1) Are you enjoying winter? Or do you daydream about summer?

I love the winter months, our winters are usually mild, but not this year.  We have snow!

Lomax Baptist Church, the church where Mr D and I married over 62 years ago.  Looks so pretty in the snow.

2) In this week's song, trees sway in the breeze. Is it windy where you are today?

Always windy here on the Texas Coast. Breezes from the bay blow through all the time.

3) There's rain outside their window. Have you more recently seen rain or snow?

We enjoyed 6 inches of snow this week.  Now it's gone and rain is in the forecast for next week.

4) This week's artists are the duo Chad and Jeremy. As a teen, Chad Stuart was very versatile in the arts. While he enjoyed drawing, he showed real promise in music and won a scholarship to London's Central School of Speech and Drama. When you were a teenager, what were your best classes?

I did well in most subjects, lucky me.  Math and English were my best.

5) Between 1965 and 1966, Chad and Jeremy played British pop stars on a variety of American TV shows, including The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Patty Duke Show, and Batman. Which of those series do you remember?

I remember them all and still watch Dick Van Dyke when I can.

6) While those TV appearances were good for the duo's record sales, they sowed the seeds of dissent between the friends. Jeremy Clyde realized he enjoyed acting far more than music and began threatening to leave the act. Chad finally got tired of dissuading him. Between Jeremy's dramatic aspirations and contract disputes, they broke up. Later they both admitted they regretted the split, but as Chad said, "we were just kids." Is there an old friend you've drifted away from but miss?

Unfortunately, yes.  One of my dearest old friends passed away last year.  I've lost complete contact with one, and the third dear friend lives close and we make contact sometimes.  Our lives just went in different directions.  With that said, I have many dear friends that I see or have contact with regularly♥

Met this dear lady when I was 7 years old, she was 14 and eventually became my Sister-in-Love.  She loved the Lord and now resides with Him in heaven.  She was a dear friend, her name was Janelle but I called her Nell♥

7) In 1964, when "A Summer Song" was popular, the #1 movie in the country was Mary Poppins. Have you seen it?

More than once!

8) One of the biggest news stories of 1964 was Elizabeth Taylor's wedding to Richard Burton. The bride wore yellow, with yellow and white flowers in her hair. The groom wore a dark suit, red tie and yellow boutonniere. What did you wear last time you got dressed up?

Dress slacks, a nice blouse and a blazer.

9) Random question: When you're in the backseat, do you wear a seatbelt?

I do.
