I was a little one when the Brits invaded. I preferred Mitch Miller to them. That bouncing 🏀 helped me learn to read.
When I was a kid (a *long* time ago) growing up in Massachusetts I learned how to spell the name of my state by learning the lyrics of this song...which was a pretty big hit locally (but not nationally).
With God as my Judge I still,to *this* day,think of the lyrics whenever I write the name of my state! :-)
