Leeneia mentioned on another thread 'Let me call you sweetheart' and someone said 'I'm not that old, it was written in 1910'. My mother was born in 1910, and I certainly know that song and many of that vintage. Yes, my mother was born a long, long, time ago. Some of the bands I call with play 'singalong medleys' for waltzes or the Barn dance and it is noticeable that only the golden wedding parties etc join in. My generation grew up with singing 'round the piano' at family parties. How many songs do the present generation know that are so much 'before their time'. Beatles songs perhaps. We get a response for When I'm 64. (1963). How about Your mother should know
