Thread Name: Origins: Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair (Foster)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: JEANIE WITH THE LIGHT BROWN HAIR
Jeanie, I, too have special fondness for this song. It's kinda my No. 2 "my song." I was named for the song "Jeanine, I Dream Of Lilac Time" (though my mom altered the spelling by one letter), but various people in my life--most notably my grandpa--have called me "Jeanie," so it's still kind of a nickname for me (hence my Mudcat 'handle').
