Can't We Talk It Over

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) In this song, The Andrews Sisters plead for verbal communication.  Is there someone you'd like to engage in a heart-to-heart conversation? not necessarily
 
2) They want to sit together for this talk. Think about the most recent personal conversation you had. Was it in person, over the phone, or via Zoom? it was with my sister and we were in person
 
3) This week's tune was written by Victor Young. He was prolific, earning 22 Oscar nominations in 18 years. (His one win came after his sudden death at age 57.) Think about your friends and family. Who is the most active, productive person you know? my bestie, by far--she juggles more than I can imagine
 
4) The lyrics were written by Ned Washington, who is perhaps best remembered for "When You Wish Upon a Star" from Disney's Pinocchio. Do you believe, like Jiminy Cricket, that dreams come true?
sometimes--it kinda depends on the dream (for instance, I will likely never win the lottery no matter how I dream)
 
5) This week's song is performed by The Andrews Sisters -- LaVerne, Maxine and Patty. Do you have siblings? If yes, are you the oldest, the middle child, or the baby? the baby

6) With more than 80 million records sold, the Andrews Sisters remain one of the most successful female vocal groups of all time. Name another girl group. the Indigo Girls, The Chicks, The Spice Girls, the Supremes
 
7) In 1950, the year "Can't We Talk It Over" was released, we were introduced to the Peanuts comic strip. Without looking it up, do you know who created Peanuts?
Charles Schulz
 
8) In 1950, most suitcases were hard sided rectangles, with no wheels and a small handle at the top. They came in colors like tan, copper, green and blue. What does your luggage look like? I have two sets--one is soft-sided orange and black, the other is soft-sided blue

9) Random question: Who was the last person to phone you? Did you pick up, or did it go to voice mail? it was a spam call and I did not pick up

I don't even try the lotto, but my husband does when it is big. I think everyone knows the creator of Peanuts. Have a nice Sunday!

Several years ago, a group of my coworkers decided to pool our resources and buy Powerball and Megamillions tickets. We called it “our investment”. I haven’t worked for that company since 2015, the guy who ran the pool is retired … but we Venmo our money to him every so often, because he’s still buying lottery tickets for the group. So if you hear about a group of insurance professionals who won big …

Well, I can dream, can’t I?
