MY DAD'S SILLY SONGS

Besides being a phenominal baseball player, good provider, and great joke teller...my Dad knew a lot of silly songs that I remember up to this day!

I made a little video to chronical a few of them, while I tried to sing them in the way he did with his gravelly voice, although mine is not nearly as corduroy in texture! 

Before we watch the tribute to Paul Edgar Maness, I want to share how much fun it was going with him to his "Muny League" baseball games in St. Louis when I was a kid!

Back then, different companies like Mallinckrodt Pharmaceudicals, Carter Carburetor (where my Dad worked) and lots of other ones I can't remember...I think Monsanto, but I'm not sure, had baseball teams.

I believe they started out as baseball teams, and over the years changed to fast pitch softball.

All of this doesn't matter, anyway. My point is...umm...uh...let's see...the TAVERNS...YES...the TAVERNS after the games!

Dad would take me to the taverns after the games (that they almost always won) where he and all his teammates would treat me to whatever I wanted! 

Beer nuts, pretzels, ice cold pepsi, chips, the pin ball machines, bowling machines...I was in kid heaven!!

Thanks Dad! That was so cool...and thanks for the songs!!!
