what’s funny about this is that President Harry S. Truman didn’t like it...and said so quite decisively too... when the media criticized his daugther’s piano playing....leave the kids out of it!!!

and now I ramble a bit:

(daughter went on to be an accomplished singer, as I recall)

Truman was known for some wonderfully pithy quotes (including some against Republicans, yes I know, like..’Republicans believe in the minimum wage, the more minimum the better”
but here’s a Truman quote I will always remember and cherish....

““My choice early in life was either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or a politician. And to tell the truth, there’s hardly any difference.” -— President Harry S. Truman

Believe she was an author and quite successful not like Hillary successful. Margaret wrote and earned her money. Granny sold her name for a big upfront fee and no sales.

Actually, many of us don't know that Truman's daughter later changed her name to Judy Garland and had quite a career as a singer and actress.
