Saturday 9: Two Easter Sunday Sweethearts

Saturday 9: Two Easter Sunday Sweethearts (1954)

On Saturdays I take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun…

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

1) This song is about a couple dressed in their "Sunday Best." Will you be getting dressed up this weekend?
Nope, just my regular jeans and sneakers.

2) The happy couple is walking up the street arm-in-arm. Have you recently seen a couple holding hands or walking arm-in-arm in public? Were you one of that romantic duo?
Yes, my brother and sister-in-law.
Sh…
Don’t tell them but they looked like that classic drawing of two seniors walking holding hands

3) This week's featured artist, Vera Lynn, was a beloved English singer who is affectionately remembered for her tireless work entertaining the troops during WWII. She famously sang "There'll Always Be an England" during outdoor concerts in Egypt, India, and Burma, even as battles raged nearby. What is your favorite patriotic song?
I don’t have one.

4) Though she became a celebrity at 19, Vera continued to live with her parents until she married at age 21. How old were you when you left home for good?
Forty something. Let me explain, the year I graduated from college my father retired and they had a place down in Florida and a cottage in New Hampshire. They went down to Florida right after New Years and came back up at Easter. Then around April they went up to the cottage in New Hampshire until Thanksgiving.
 

So I shoved the driveway in winter, mowed the lawn is summer, and sent their mail to wherever they were. It was when they stopped going to Florida that left the old homestead.

Now, here are some questions in honor of this weekend's holiday ...

5) More than 1.5 million Cadbury Creme Eggs are produced every day. Do you enjoy Cadbury Eggs all year around, only at Easter, or not at all?
Oh I would love to eat chocolate but… I’m diabetic. I might have one or two but that’s it.
 
6) Pretzels are considered a delicious Easter snack in Germany. Do you more often crave salty treats or sweet ones?
There is a place on Cape Cod where they sell salted chocolates, the best of both worlds. At the store I buy the small package and try to make them last.

7) We've been talking a lot about sweets this morning. The only holiday that generates more candy sales is Halloween. When do you eat more candy: Easter or Halloween?
Neither. Like I said I might have a couple chocolates each holiday but I avoid eating too many and no candies, just chocolates.

8) Easter is considered the season of rebirth. What makes you feel refreshed or rejuvenated?
Nothing, I’m feeling my age.
 

9)  This year, April Fool's Day happens to follow Easter Sunday. Do you expect to fall victim to any pranks?
I hate April Fool’s pranks… someone is always a victim.
