Thanks, I remember the other tunes as well. Of interest to me now is that the songs are all ‘happy’ songs while Churchill’s war clouds are gathering and Roosevelt continues to apply the squeeze on Japan. The ‘war’ songs are not yet on the hit parade.

I’m oblivious to war, my summer baseball is over, my time with my aunt is ending. Next month school starts and I’m heading for an orphanage with a younger brother and sister [our last parent died last April]. I’ll be our recreation room two month’s later listening to the radio inform about Pearl. Wake up time is approaching. Grow up in a hurry.
