While writing the previous post, the refrain ran through my head "would you like to be queen for a day?" And suddenly I was back in my home kitchen, hearing Jack Bailey's voice booming out the question over our little kitchen radio! That radio brought the world to the feet of our bucolic little village! My mother listened all day long as she toiled to keep a family of seven, clothed, fed, loved. I never liked the show much as it seemed giddy to me! Why would you want one day of excess - why not seek a lifetime?!
Economics were a bit distant to me in the late 40's, but, yeah, the wisdom still holds!
