Syncronicity, I was thinking about putting it up exact moment you did. Cute song.
@threetango I like Eartha Kitt. Her story is rather sad, but she rose above it and was a beautiful success.
One of my grandmothers was a native German speaker, but you couldn't tell. Her parents immigrated. I asked her once if she could still speak German, as I never heard her or even heard a German accent. She told me she could sing O Tannenbaum. Grandma could not sing well, like most of that part of my family, including me. She sang it anyway. I will never forget it.Our christmas music as kids was 8 tracks in German. You did not have to speak german to enjoy it.
Great movie and 'imo' singer and song,
My dad and his family came over in 1957. He was 10 years old. My grand parents spoke German, Hungarian and Romanian then learned English once they got here.One of my grandmothers was a native German speaker, but you couldn't tell. Her parents immigrated.

Maybe you know a better rendition than this one.My dad and his family came over in 1957. He was 10 years old. My grand parents spoke German, Hungarian and Romanian then learned English once they got here.
It was funny how my grandparents would switch to German if they did not want the grandkids to know what they were saying. If they did not want their kids to know they would switch to Romanian or Hungarian.
O tannenbaum and silent night are memories of mine.
