February 26: Snowtime ain’t no time to stay outdoors… “Shine on Harvest Moon” by Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth. I think my grandfather Sidney Alexander Sherman was born on this day in 1908 and I enjoy imagining his parents listening to this while he was a baby. The animation is part of a cartoon called “Farm Foolery” from 1949. And here’s a bonus version with Laurel & Hardy singing it in 1939. LYRICS & GUITAR CHORDS SPOTIFY
