I admit that "I sang along with Mitch (Miller)"
August 04, 2009
I forgot about the times during the early sixties when it was common for television watchers to interact with a program. In a blog post, Jennifer Gavin of the Library of Congress reminded me of the old program "Sing Along With Mitch."
Usually everything would stop in our house or wherever we were visiting when his program started. He and his singers invited viewers to sing along with songs that most everybody either knew or could sing.
The Library has 300 reels of the show. I wonder when they will share them online.
By the way, Jennifer Gavin used to be a reporter at the State Capitol in Lansing for Associated Press several years ago.
