Over the Bounding Main

Friday, December 20, 2002

• TITLE: "Over the Bounding Main" My first memory of this song "Sailing, sailing, over the bounding main" was as the theme song for an early TV show named "Time for Beanie". This was a televised puppet show (not unlike Kukla, Fran, and Ollie) which starred a kid with a beanie on his head named, appropriately "Beanie" and his sidekick Cecil, the "Seasick sea serpent."

  It was a fifteen minute show, five days a week which we watched on our Dumont TV.

• "... Travelogues ..." Here's the link to all the Travelogues of the past few years. They go from the earliest at the top, to the most recent at the bottom.

  And here is the link to the cruise Travelogue: My Cruise. My LAST Cruise

• "... Groovin' ..."
  Originally billed as the "Young Rascals" this "Blue-eyed Soul" group first hit the charts with the 1966 song, "Good Lovin'" which was followed by "I've Been Lonely Too Long," "Groovin'," and the song I consider their best, "How Can I Be Sure," all in 1967; and "People Got to be Free" in 1968.
