At the Risk...
...of sounding like one of those old timers who "trudged through three feet of snow up hill to and from school," I was talking with Dubbins yesterday, remembering a time when the Easter Season saw radio stations play songs of THAT season, much like they still do at Christmas or "the Winter Break." Yeah, this country has drifted. You'd have to watch a re-run of the Lawrence Welk Show now to hear "The Easter Parade" written, incidentally by a Jewish gentleman named Irving Berlin. The "gentile" holiday didn't seem to disturb him.
Now it's "Turkey Day" for Thanksgiving and at Easter, the Bunny or something, but it wasn't always that way.
Here's Fred Hysterical with a scene from the movie of the same title, circa, 1948
