Andrews Sisters were the fairest in the land

Sign up for HeraldNet Headlines
Thank you for the Wednesday article on the passing of the last of the Andrews Sisters.

It gives us who grew up in the 1930s and 1940s a sense of nostalgic feeling for a past of popular, clean-cut rhythmic music. The strains of "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B," and "I Can Dream Can't I?" marks the closing chapter of those of use who lived through World War II. Good-bye, Patty. As one of your first songs stated, "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen."
