Saturday 9: I Fall in Love Too Easily (1945)
(The year I was born!☺)
1) In this song, Dinah
Shore admits that her impetuous romances don't work out. Do you consider
yourself impulsive?
Nope, I'm one of those people who have to have a plan, a 'what-if' plan, a current plan, a future plan. . . that's me!
2) The songwriting team of
Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne composed this in a single evening. Since the song is
rather short Sammy considered adding another verse, but Jule thought better of
it, saying, "No. That's it." Are you more like Sammy and keep
revising, tinkering and tweaking? Or, like Jule, do you find it easy to leave
well enough alone?
I wish I could leave well enough alone, seems I'm always tinkering, changing, or re-doing something!
3) The song was introduced
in Anchors Aweigh, a movie about two sailors who find love during a two-day
leave in New York. Have you ever enjoyed a romance while on holiday?
Only with Mr D. I had just turned 16 when we met, I knew he was the only one for me.
4) Though Frank Sinatra
sang the song in the movie, Dinah's version was also popular. Her record sales
in the 1940s were boosted by concerts, radio appearances and performances for
the troops. What singer who is no longer with us do you wish you could have
seen in concert?
I've always loved Glen Miller's music; I think it would have been great to see him in person and dance the night away.
5) Dinah was shy with new
people, but discovered as a high school cheerleader that she was good in front
of a crowd. Give us one of your high school cheers.
Everywhere we go-o
People want to know-o
Who we are
So we tell them.
We are the Bulldogs, mighty, mighty Bulldogs!
6) She loved golf and was
so good at it, she became the first woman admitted as a member to the
prestigious Hillcrest Country Club in Los Angeles. What's your best sport?

| Love You Blake! |
7) Dinah found her
greatest success in television. She was so popular for so long that she was
able to afford a luxury home, built to her specifications, in Palm Springs.
Leonardo DiCaprio now owns it. Do you know who lived in your home before you
moved in?
We bought this home brand spankin' new. We're the only ones who have lived here.
8) In 1945, when this song
was popular, Abbott and Costello appeared in the movie The Naughty Nineties,
which featured their famous "Who's On First" routine. Do you know it?
I sure do know it, and I still find it funny.
You can watch it HERE.
9) Random question – Fill
in the blank: After all these years, I still ____________.
Remember the first time I saw Mr D. It was in May 1961. By December of 1962 we were married and the rest is history. Good history I might add. ♥

Well, as my favorite cowboy used to say:
I'll see you again if the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise♥
Blessings to All
Until Next Time
Happy trails to you, until
we meet again
Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then
Who cares about the clouds when we're together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather
Happy trails to you, 'till we meet again
Some trails are happy ones
Others are blue
It's the way you ride the trail that counts
Here's a happy one for you
Happy trails to you, until we meet again
Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then
Who cares about the clouds when we're together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather
Happy trails to you, 'till we meet again
Happy trails to you, it's great to say "hello"
And to share with you the trail we've come to know
It started on the day that we met Jesus
He came into our hearts and then he freed us
For a life that's true, a happy trail to you
