Welcome to Saturday: 9.

Saturday 9: Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast (1972)

... Because it's Father's Day weekend.

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

1) This song is about a little girl who runs after her daddy. When is the last time you ran? Were you trying to get somewhere in a hurry, or playing a sport?With my knees.. hahaha..  I  can't remember  when! I undoubtedly was trying to get somewhere!

2) This song was a top ten hit for Wayne Newton. Mr. Newton is better known for his TV work, having made more than 150 appearances since 1963. Have you ever been on TV? Or in a YouTube video?  

I made my tv review in the 1950's  when I sat at Uncle Looney's knee ... 

He hosted  our local Terry Tunes  programming    at 5pm and  for a birthday party I went  with my friends. 

**Wayne Newton was a   

local boy, too.. **

During his early  career he returned home often for special events.

3) The road leading to Las Vegas' McCarran International Airport is named Wayne Newton Blvd. in his honor. When is the last time you were at an airport? Were you flying somewhere, picking someone up, or dropping them off?

Our local airport to pick up and then drop off our  daughter and her family!

4) Wayne says Elvis Presley haunts Las Vegas, and believes that The King of Rock and Roll has given him performing and parenting tips from beyond the grave. When did you last see Elvis? On TV, on a t-shirt, poster or magazine cover, or as a ghostly apparition?

I saw him on an ad online recently.

Of the three featured above, Elvis  was  by far  my fave!

5) When Sam walks with her own dad, the problem isn't that he walks fast. It's that he's always stopping to pick up litter he finds on the grass. Litterbugs are his pet peeve. What's your pet peeve?

slow drivers in the passing lane!

6) Sam's own father often traveled for business, and always gave her the complimentary soaps, shampoos or body lotion he got from the hotel. When she went away to college, she used her collection of little bottles and was grateful for all the money they saved her. What's something you've done recently to economize?

Haahaa, stayed home!

7) It was her father who taught Sam to drive. Are you a better student or teacher?

Teacher,  and I think I helped Amanda learn how to drive better than her dad did.  She was learning on a stick,  and  I  made her feel more comfortable.

8) Sam's father also always asks if her car in "tip top" condition. Most recently he reminded her to test her headlights, tail lights and turn signals while the car is parked to make sure they're all working. Do you have a car maintenance tip to share?

Hubs  takes care of all of that,  but  for example  when he starts talking about a new battery I influence him to go  ahead and purchase it.. not wait.. He is a procrastinator.

9) Sam's father satisfies his afternoon sugar craving with an almost endless stream of Butter Rum Lifesavers. Do you usually enjoy a between meal snack?

yes, I think I took after my daddy in that!!!
