February 8, 2016 – Super Bowl – I really enjoyed watching the game. – Given the strengths, weakness, and statistics of performance – I kept trying to predict what play would be sent to the field next and I wondered who made that decision – it had to be made quickly. But, what do you think of the songs at halftime? Fun to watch, but, my ears and my brain’s age do not let me fully comprehend it all. How ’bout you all? Anyway I decided to create my own version of halftime (noontime) in our backyard pond!
An American Idiom: If you have to sing for your supper, you have to work to get the item you want to purchase. “Sing for Your Supper” is an American popular song by composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist Lorenz Hart. The song was debuted in their 1938 Broadway musical “The Boys from Syracuse”, The lyrics describe a singer performing to earn his meals. The song has been recorded by Rudy Vallée, Count Basie, Mel Tormé, Helen Humes, the Mamas & the Papas and Cher. One verses Lyrics: Sing for your supper And you’ll get breakfast Songbirds always eat If their song is sweet to hearWas it not a great invention to put music radios in cars? Young Duds crank theirs up so loud it vibrates my car when I sit next to them at a traffic light – I crank mine up because I do not hear so well anymore! I guess, the folks in middle age just have to put up with us young and us old folks.
