    Posted on Sunday November 8th, 2009 at 12:20 in music, anniversaries, people of note

    Those of us who grew up before rap and hip hop probably all remember The Tennessee Waltz and Old Cape Cod, among other songs that Patti Page made popular. Her slight twang and almost too sweet voice are memorable as soon as you simply say the titles...
