I was quite surprised when I received an email from Gini of Ginisology last month asking if I would answer some questions for the “May I Introduce to You ….” series at GeneaBloggers. I feel very honored to be recognized this week. Thank you, Gini and Thomas MacEntee for publishing this series.
I wrote my responses in a hurry – thinking I had procrastinated. Then I learned that there were still a couple of weeks before it would post. I thought about going over it with a fine tooth comb to make it better. But I didn’t. So my “off the cuff” words stand in perpetuity.

You may have noticed I’m not blogging as much as usual – pretty much just getting out a Sepia Saturday post – and sometimes not even that. And I’m not getting around to my fellow bloggers to read and comment as I like to do. I hope that will change soon. The older I get, the more a little change in routine seems to put everything off kilter.
I like to collect sheet music of songs I remember from my childhood. I got this one about a month ago from my daughter, who has started a small business selling vintage items.
Dorothy McGuire of the McGuire Sisters passed away on Friday, September 7, 2012, at the age of 84. I believe that’s Dorothy at the top. Please correct me if I have that wrong.
I don’t have any specific memories connected to this song, except that I know I went around singing it as a little girl. I’m sure I heard it on the radio and on TV, as the McGuire Sisters made many television appearances. So many of the songs during the early 1950s had tunes and words that felt happy to my young ears. I still remember the tune and most of the words.
You can read more about Dorothy McGuire here. And listen to the McGuire Sisters sing Sugartime, a song that earned them one of six gold records:
