This week's tune? Hear it here.
- In this song, Monica Lewis encourages us to greet our neighbors with a smile and a hello. Tell us about one of your neighbors.
One side are students. They are very kind. Even brought me flowers after my husband died. (no one else gave me flowers.)
The neighbours at the other side are not my favorite neighbours. They have a lot of rows.
These days they greet me, but we hardly have a talk. Even in times when the government asks people to take care of the older neighbours, even when I had broken both ankles and couldn't walk at all, they expressed no interest.
When they came to live here I offered to babysit. All women in the neighbourhood did that for each other. They didn't want that.
So I keep greeting them and get an occassional greeting back. - She reminds us that it's "nice to be nice." Who has recently shown you kindness?
One of my friends who lives rather far away.
Invite me over for the day and together we went to the paragroup. Her husband jumps too. - Monica Lewis was born in Chicago, where her mother performed with the Chicago Opera Company. Have you ever been to the opera?
Yes. - Her family moved to New York City, where she attended college by day and worked at radio station WMCA in the evenings to help support her family. Which do you listen to more: the radio or podcasts?
Radio. I don't like podcasts. - In the 1940s she appeared all around New York – in nightclubs, on Broadway, and on radio shows. It was then that she got her best-known and longest-running role: the voice of Chiquita Banana. For decades she was heard singing the jingle, "I'm Chiquita Banana and I'm here to say ..." Do you have any bananas in your kitchen now?
No. Not right now.
I've returned from England a few days ago and will leave for another camp next tuesday. - Around 1950 she moved to Hollywood. She had recently divorced and wanted a fresh start. There she dated an actor who was also newly divorced: Ronald Reagan. Obviously she never had to ask, "Whatever became of him?" Who is the last former romance, classmate or coworker that you looked up on the internet?
Not going to tell you. LOL! He might not be happy if he knew my feelings. - In 1947, when this song was popular, actor Ted Danson was born. He's best known as Sam Malone, the bartender at Cheers, "where everybody knows your name." Is there a bar or restaurant where you are recognized on sight?
Well, a few months ago I entered a restaurant and the guy recognised me.
My two favorite dodgy hotels are a place of recognition.
No bar.. - The 1947 Studebaker Champion was one of the first cars to have an adjustable driver's seat designed to accommodate motorists of various heights. When you're driving someone else's car, do you usually adjust the seat?
Again a driver's question. I can't drive, so.... - Random question: When someone takes advantage of you, are you angrier at them for doing it, or at yourself for letting it happen?
Both.
