Thank you, OESY.

That info is great. I had never read the story of Lilli Marleen. It's an interesting story to accompany the lyrics.

Those are great images. I love the Lantern and the picture of Marlene Dietrich is perfect!

I hope your week has started off very well.

LIGHTS OUT PLEASE, HILLBILLY BIRTH

Deep in the back woods of North Carolina, a hillbilly's wife went into
labor in the middle of the night, and the doctor was called out
to assist in the delivery. Since there was no electricity, the doctor
handed the father-to-be a lantern and said, "Here. You hold this high so
I can see what I am doing!."

Soon, a baby boy was brought into the world. "Whoa there", said the
doctor,
"Don't be in such a rush to put that lantern down. I think there's
another
one coming." Sure enough, within minutes he had delivered a baby girl.
"Hold that lantern up, don't set it down there's another one!" said the
doctor. Within a few minutes he had delivered a third baby. "No, don't
be in a hurry to put down that lantern, it seems there's yet another one
coming!" cried the doctor.

The redneck scratched his head in bewilderment, and asked the doctor,
"You reckon it might be the light that's attractin' 'em?"
