"in the shoemaker's shop, this refrain will never stop
As he taps away, working all the day....."

"Threeeeeee coins in the fountain, each one seeking happiness..."

"Now the Haciendas dark, The town is sleeping,
Now the time has come to part, The time for weeping,
Vaya Con Dios my darling,..."

yes, I know some of those, because that's all there was... but one week there was a new song on the charts, and I watched in horror as Giselle MacKenzie tried to sing something called "Rock Around the Clock"....so began a 10 year hiatus in which I listened to very little music ...until Pete Seeger walked into a local concert. Now, I NEVER sing one of those at a Getaway, as I have a reputation as a "Purist Snob" to maintain..*grin*
