    My aunt Barb lived in Hawaii for a while when she was a young adult. This is her song. Every time I hear it, I know that’s her letting me know her spirit is nearby. Of all songs, this one is HER song.
    Every Christmas (or funeral), she’d cook a big meal and bring everyone together. The grownups would smoke around the table talking it up, while we kids smushed ourselves behind their chairs to chase each other all over the house. That memory smells like glazed ham and a tobacco field, which is oddly comforting to me today.
    Whenever this song came on, Aunt Barb would holler for us to come dance to it. Me and one other cousin would come in and hula the whole song. Aunt Barb would be so tickled and happy.
    Now, when I hear this song just randomly over a radio, I feel like I gotta stop and acknowledge my auntie’s presence. That’s HER song.

    Bing's ability to have relaxed vocals while adding smart accents to add energy a soothing and relaxing song style was very unique and a LOT harder than one might realize. Singing along with Bing really teaches your vocal cords to expand and contract easily so have your kids sing-a-long with Bing at a young age and they will develop nice voices naturally =)

    • @davidmcmillan8826
      @davidmcmillan8826 2 года назад +1

      His "relaxed" style bugs me a bit. I notice that the Andrews sisters hit every word correctly on a beat, whereas Bing's singing is fluid, not tied to the beats. I'm sure it's a stylistic method and I'm not familiar enough with the details of singing to name it. There's no doubt he's a legendary singer, just wish I knew what his style was called...

      My aunt used to make us hula through the whole song. I could be across the street at my other aunties house and she’d send someone over to grab us for the hula before the song ended. We just had to stand front and center to be the waves. We hated it as kids and did it anyway. Now I still do it anyway, right in the middle of the store, where my own kid can hate it lol

      I used to eat breakfast on Saturdays with a WWII vet who spent his first Christmas during World War II in the South Pacific on New Guinea fighting in the Buna-Gona campaign. It wasn't very merry. Nasty jungle warfare going on at the same time as but with less attention than the Guadalcanal campaign.

    What can you say, almost everytime Bing and the Andrews Sisters recorded, something magical happened. I think partly because Bing understood from his early days how to sing with a group, and maybe a little magic from Vic Schoen's scores. Bing was not known to be selective about what he recorded, so we have really great stuff and a lot of duds. When he was great, he was.

    The sun will shine by day and all the stars at night
    Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way to say Merry Christmas
    to you
    Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say on a bright
    Hawaiian Christmas day
    That's the island greeting that we send to you
