I’m asking you statistical people: Is more money being spent these days on television advertising for pillow and mattresses than on lawyers?
Now with the advertising for ‘microbial pillows? the legal world better recheck their budgets.
What a great hour I had Saturday, listening to singers and musicians from MY day. Lawrence Welk and all his magnificent singers, dancers, strummers and vocalists brought me memories of Swartz Creek polka and barn dances in Hazel’s and my courting days.
We were born in country atmospheres, and love it still. And nobody has replaced Lawrence Welk’s down home square dance rhythms.
Hope I remember to tune in again next week on Detroit Public television.
This barn dance music brought back my thoughts of learning to play the piano. A few months before we bought The Oxford Leader, living and working in St. Johns, I started taking piano lessons.
Once we bought The Leader in 1955, there was no time available for piano lessons. Had I stayed with the piano, I would now be about the right age for Lawrence Welk.

Someone recently pointed out to me the Supreme Court is following public opinion in rendering their decisions.
Good! I’ve been thinking someone broke into their space capsule.
