NUMBER ONE SONG THE YEAR YOU WERE BORN

1979 Le Freak by Chic was the number one song when Ryen was born, Bud's year it was Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head by BJ Thomas. For Rachel, It was The Sounds of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel.

When I mentioned to my sweet Thomas that Shirley's song was The Tennessee Waltz by Patti Page, he told me that was his favorite song and his sister broke the recond on purpose.

For all of us that were born in 1944; Paper Doll by the Mills Brothers was number one.

1911 Play that Barber Shop Chord Lloyd Anderson
1914 Peg O My Heart Stanley Ranum
1915 Its a long way to Tipperary Ella Rye
1922 Wabash Blues Ella Lundberg

We may not play an instrument but songs are part of our life. Old Trunks wonders if the teenage years are when we learn the most songs.

Where do you begin with popular music and after decades, do you have NEW favorite?

.........did you hear it through the grapevine?
