my dad used to sing when he was shaving (none / 0) (#6)

He sang Oh, Susannah, My Darling Clementine, The Bear Went Over the Mountain, Old Black Joe, She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain, etc.

My kids might remember me singing This Land Is Your Land, This Land Is My Land.  Their father sings with the guitar or banjo often and mostly folksongs or songs like Me and Bobby McGee.

With my grandbabies we are still at Mary Had a Little Lamb and Old MacDonald.  

You are right that we need the storytellers!!!

My father, too (none / 0) (#7)

sings, but not during shaving time :).

When I sang "Sweet Betsy From Pike" to my girlfriend from Point Marion, PA, as Dad did, she objected to the description of Ike as 'her lover', telling me that it was 'her husband', as she learned it in school.
