The Red Flannel Rag

From left to right, my brother, Larry, me, and my sister Brenda in front. Circa 1946

Dad was known as a singer, guitar player, and a dancer. According to Uncle

Shirley, he could sing, dance, and make people laugh with his antics, but his guitar

playing left something to be desired. He teased Mom a lot when they first got married

with this song:

“When I was single, oh then, oh then,

When I was single, oh then

When I was single, my pockets would jingle.
