But I have noticed that a number of words, like OLD, or words ending in ING, seem to have an apostrophe to end it sometimes, and if I can't find it the one way, I'll try again with the apostrophe. |

I assumed everyone knew it but sometimes I lead a strange existence. Neil |

I remember the Movie of Showboat and the guy who sang it, I think his name was Josh White, I still get chills when I think about it, I don,t remember hearing such feeling in any song as that one. |

I think if you look for the original one, which If I Remember Correctly, starred Irene Dunne as the young ingenue. There were actually 3 movies based on the Broadway show. The last one, with Kathryn Grayson was the most lavish. |
