Saturday 9: If I Knew You Were Comin' (1950)

1) This song is performed by a woman who is positively tickled to have unexpected company. How do you feel when people drop by unannounced?

 I'd be surprised! Then I will see what food I can offer for them.

2) She is clearly proud of her skills in the kitchen. Do you enjoy baking? Cooking?
 I do! I love cooking and baking.

3) Reference is made to hiring a band. Tell us the last time you were at an event with live music.
 That was a year ago. Spending quality time with my friends.

4) After making recordings in the early 1950s, Eileen Barton appeared on daytime TV in the early 1960s -- including a game show called Video Village. Let's say we're all headed to a TV game show taping this morning. Would you volunteer to appear as a contestant? Or would you rather just stay in the audience?
 I will volunteer as one of the challengers. I want to be part of it and enjoy the chance of being on a TV show.

5) In 1961, Ms. Barton got married in Juarez, Mexico. What's the longest distance you've ever traveled to attend a wedding?
 I traveled to Thailand to witness one of my closes friends' wedding.

6) In 1950, when this song was popular, the Detroit Red Wings won the Stanley Cup. Are you looking forward to the upcoming NHL season?
 I guess so.

7) 1950 also marks the first time anyone in the United States paid by credit card. Do you pay with a credit card to get rewards? If yes, what rewards are you accumulating (points, cash back, airline miles)?

 I don't use credit cards. It's a pain in the neck.

8) In 1950, an athlete named Florence Chadwick swam the English Channel. Are you a good swimmer?

 No. I can't swim.

9) Random question: Think about the last "white lie" you told. Was it to spare someone's feelings, or to make your day go more smoothly?

 To make my day go more smoothly.
