Don't ask me why – well, ask if you want - but I was thinking about George Gobel while I was trimming back ivy this morning. You young whippersnappers, and you know who you are, probably do not know about “Lonesome George” and “spooky old Alice”. Well then there now, that may be one of the reasons we in the older generation are so much smarter and wiser.

“My uncle was the town drunk – and we lived in Chicago.”

How about this quartet, with Jeff Chandler singing (Don't know who Jeff Chandler is? Your loss. So there.). You don't hardly get those any more.

”I've never been drunk but I've often been overserved.”

Not much of George on this but y'all need to hear Dean, Ella, and Gordon McRae sing “Tumbling Tumbleweeds”. And there is no voice like Ella's.

Well, I'll be a dirty bird.
