Pat- re "This old House" (JudyJuul on p4)---
Tennessee Ernie did sing this, as well as Rosemary Clooney (George's Aunt btw)
and likely a few others...

Didn't TennesseeErnie Ford sing this a lot? I think I live in "This 'Ol House"!
There was a list a mile long of those who sang it! Didn't see Tennessee in the notes but the list is a mile long...Here's some interesting facts from the computer...
Hamblen was supposedly out on a hunting expedition when he and his fellow hunter, actor John Wayne, came across a hut in the mountains. Inside was the body of a man, and the man's dog was still there, guarding the building. This inspired Hamblen to write "This Ole House".[1] The lyric picks up a standard Gospel theme of the "old house" – the mortal body – being left behind when the believer goes to "meet the saints".[2]
Recordings[edit]
The recorded version of "This Ole House" by Rosemary Clooney, featuring bass vocals by Thurl Ravenscroft, reached No. 1 on the Billboard on chart in 1954 as the flip side to her previous No. 1 song, "Hey There." Clooney's version also topped the UK Singles Chart, although there were other UK hit versions around by Billie Anthony and Alma Cogan, both recorded in 1954. The recording by Alma Cogan with Felix King was made in London on September 2, 1954. The song was released by EMI on the His Master's Voice label as catalogue numbers B 10761 and 7M 269. The flip side was "Skokiaan."
In March 1981, Shakin' Stevens took the song back to No. 1 for three weeks in the United Kingdom.[3] His version was re-released in 2005 after his appearance in the TV show Hit Me Baby One More Time and reached No. 20 in the UK Singles Chart.[4]
The song was also covered by the Cathedral Quartet and Hovie Lister and the Statesmen. Both groups often made the song a medley with "When the Saints Go Marching In."
The song was recorded by Bette Midler (in ballad form) on her 2003 tribute to Rosemary Clooney, "Bette Midler Sings the Rosemary Clooney Songbook," and included on her compilation "Jackpot: The Best Bette" in 2008.

Several from Missouri. I would have rather title the second one Catcher in the Rye, but it's a book not a song or a movie. Great Challenge.
