What I have been listening to lately #11

This was one of my mother's absolute favorite songs, and she, just like the folks at the Lawrence Welk Show, missed the point altogether. I think she thought the word was "toe".

I have very fond memories of going over to my dad's parents' house every Saturday night to spend the night. We would watch Lawrence Welk and my grandma would peel an orange with a knife and turn the peel into one long corkscrew. In the morning, we got to have Lucky Charms for breakfast, back before they added all the crazy, new-fangled shapes and colors (like purple!).
