Mrs. E: Oh, I told you about everyone wearing a hat. Well they were just plain dresses as far as I was concerned. The ladies always had a skirt and waist. That was the typical fashion, skirt and waist. Debbie: What about the length of the skirts? Mrs. E: Oh, they were to the ground. Joanne: Did you ever wear--Do you remember when they went up in the twenties? Mrs. E: Yes, I don't think I ever wore a dress to the ground, only--I have long dresses now but I never wore long dresses. They would always be down to around here (above ankle, around shins) But mother's--the ladies dresses were always dirty, dirty, dirty. Mother'd be scrubbing and brushing and shaking. They used to drag the sidewalks. They made a law here that you couldn't spit on the sidewalks because of the women's dresses, you know. Joanne: What kind of music did you listen to when you were younger? Mrs. E: The first music we listened to outside of what we made ourselves was on a phonograph. My uncle got a Phono¬graph, we used--Harry Lotter was a great singer then. I don't suppose you'd know him. "I Love a Lassy! a jolly, jolly, lassy..." He was very Scottish you know ...(singing) "she's a sweet young looring belle." And we didn't listen to any--we had no symphany orchestras, you know or anything like that. The choir would sometime put on extra music; but I was always in it. I was never listening very much. I remember the first time. I must have been only about ten or eleven and don't know why but the Scotland Baptist Church asked me to sing at a concert at their place. And mother says, "You want Florence to sing?" They said, "Yes." So, I don't know whether you know Mildred Anderson--Mildred Stewart. You ever heard of her--Dr. Stewart, the Andersons? Oh you're too young. Anyway, she played--mother always played for me and of course she played to suit me. Well, Mildred was an accomplished pianist, or an organist. She ran all over the keyboard--she improvised. And I thought to myself, "Well, I know this piece." Loves Old Sweet Song was what I sang and it was very much appreciated. I didn't make a mistake even if Mildred didn't play like my mother did. I can remember thinking to myself, "Well, you know this, sing! She can follow you. You don't have to follow her."(laughs) END OF SIDE ONE TAPE ONE
