Song: "Swe-Dane Shuffle"
[ listen ]

Here's a sunny little something from 1960 from my Grandma Bea's part of the world. Hopefully it will cheer you up some if, like me, you're kinda' bummed by the news that Dixie Carter just died. You can read about the utterly fantastic Swe-Danes here and in the LP notes included below, and then if you still want more, why not give this neat YouTube clip a try:

  1. RIP Dixie Carter. I was bummed, too.

    Few people remember the show Filthy Rich she was in with regular co-stars Delta Burke and Ann Wedgeworth. It was a comedic spoof of the soap opera Dallas. The creator, Linda Bloodworth-Thompson, would go on to create Designing Women a few years later.
