The Last Song

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions!

Saturday 9: The Last Song (1972)

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

 

This is the last Saturday 9 song of 2022. 

Thanks for another great year. 

1) In this song, the lead singer admits he leaves the light on when he goes to sleep. Do you leave any lights on in your bedroom? Or do you prefer it completely dark?  We leave a nightlight on in our room and the bathroom.. at our ages several trips to the bathroom each night demands a lit trail! 🥴

 

2) He sings that he can't stop wondering where his old girlfriend is. Do you know whatever happened to any of your exes? My first boy friend moved to Florida with his family where lived until he sadly passed last year.  Others moved away, who knows where.. and one  was a teacher in Nashville, but sadly passed about 5 years ago. I won the blue ribbon in every way when I married my dearest, Lynn!

3) He says this is the last song he'll ever sing to his girl. What's the last song you sang?  I sing praise songs to God during my bedtime prayer time. It is just what comes into my mind.  Where were you when you sang it? In bed!

 

4) Edward Bear was a Canadian group who took their name from Winnie the Pooh. As written by A. A. Milne, Edward Bear was Pooh's "proper" name. Pooh's favorite food was honey. Is there a food you can't get enough of?I have a sweet tooth.  Just anything. A bite of sweet calls my name.  I have to really be careful.  A tiny bit at a time!

 
5) In 1972, when this song was popular, Disney's Winnie the Pooh was quite a celebrity in his own right, appearing on the cover the 1972 Sears Christmas Wish Book. That year, kids asked Santa for plush Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore. Did you have many plush toys as a child? Yes,  If yes, do you still have any of them? I do not have my original dark  brown teddy bear, but when I was  a much younger adult a dear friend who makes the most gorgeous plush toys gave me a bear with a beret.  I called him Francois , and we inseparable for a time.  When. Just in my private time. I didn’t take him to work, but .I told my students stories about him.  I have always been a storyteller!

6) Enough about 1972! I loved 1972.. the year I got married! Let's look back on 2022. What's something you learned or rediscovered in 2022? I learned to never take a loved one for granted! 

7) Can you think of a moment in 2022 you'd like to do over?This past Christmas was amazing so I’d love to get to relive it, over and over again!

8) What are you looking forward to most in 2023?I look forward to a planned trip with our family perhaps during a school break we plan to go to Lancaster, Pa, to see the Sight and Sound Theater! 

9) Random question: Who received the last email you sent?my friend, Gerri!
