More vis Mitch Miller, compliments of Denro:
This the 1st song from the 1st “Sing Along With Mitch” album, from 1958. The odd thing, which I didn’t realize, is that the album contains several WW II era songs!!! He knew his audience — so he did songs from their childhood, their parents’ era and their own adulthood! “Don’t Fence Me In” and “Bell Bottom Trousers” are on there, alongside “The Old Mill Stream” and “Silvery Moon”.
This was how Miller started the sing-a-long craze? But it’s such a sad song! How sad is it? It’s “Snoopy with a root beer” sad!
