Re: The playmate song you just posted for us.

While reading those lyrics I literally heard my mom's voice singing in my ears. Wow!

Do you all also remember the lullaby about "go to sleepy little baby" and it ended with playing patty-cake and riding "a shiny little po-ony!"

My Babci (grandmother in Polish) always used to sing that to me at some ungodly hour in the morning whenever I used to sleep over, and then follow it with "GOOD MORNING, SUNSHINE", when I was feeling anything but sunshiny that early. She did change the name.

I love game night....we used to have one all the time....does anyone play canasta anymore??

---

Bobby - I was telling people a few nights ago that I have a regular 'game night' with friends - one Saturday a month we go to somebody's apartment and cook a simple dinner and play games - hosts choice. Everything from Trivial Pursuit to cards. And, canasta is one of the games we play! I look forward to it. It's a fun diversion from the daily routine...and is fun to see how competitive we all get!!

---

It would be fun to get those game nights started again....it was easier when I didnt live in NYC.

---

Bobby - do you not know many people in NYC?

Yes I know alot of people....alot are usually busy especially in the evenings...

---

The song I remember was something like:

Go to sleepy little baby,
Go to sleepy little baby,
And when you wake
we'll patty-patty-cake
and ride a shiny little po-o-ny

Does anyone remember that? Perhaps I should e-mail my mom...

Just got home..trying to catch up.

First of all...Bobby, my partner taught me how to play Canasta because he always played with his Uncle and Grandmother. We now play it alot. He actually plays it on line too.

The song Katie...can't remember where it's from, but I do rememeber a war movie seeing years ago and the main character would sing it to his girlfrind. I can see the actors face too...just don't remember the name of the movie or his.

K-K-Katie is from Tin Pan Alley (thank you, google!)

Here's a snippet:

1940 "inventory" musical Tin Pan Alley. Set in the years just prior to and during WW1, the film casts Faye and Grable as Katie and Lily Blaine, a singing-sister act playing the vaudeville circuits of the land. Ambitious songwriter Skeets Harrigan (John Payne) senses star potential in Katie Blaine, and his efforts to promote her-and his tunes-at all costs result in a great deal of ill-will before the inevitable happy ending. Counterpointing the likeably ruthless Skeets is his ebullient partner Harry Calhoun (Jack Oakie), who spends most of the picture trying to find suitable lyrics for a novelty ditty he's written, a quest that proves unsuccessful until a stuttering soldier inspires him to write "K-K-Katie".
