3 Little Fishies
I have strong childhood memories of singing songs with my paternal grandmother, Vivian Hayward Swain. Occasionally, she would come pick me up for a sleepover in her little Toyota Tercel and we'd sing the entire way back to her house. All kinds of good songs. She had been a camp counselor in her youth and had raised 4 boys for God's sake! I sure would like to talk to her about that! Most of the songs she taught me are stuck pretty well in my head but there has always been this one I could never quite remember. Tonight, I found it online! It's called "3 Little Fishies" Can't wait to teach it to the boys - I think Blake will love it. Now that I have all the words, I can picture her singing it perfectly - she had fabulous hand gestures that made the already fun refrain even better! I dedicate this great recording of "3 Little Fishies" to Vivian - the big band swing sound of it definitely reminds me of her. This one's for you Gramma!
