Time for a Message from the Monarch

This side of the pond it's time approaching for a message from the monarch.

The Super series CTC-5's were capable of stunning color pictures when set up properly. I've never seen a side by side comparison w/a Deluxe series set but have owned both over the years.

How old is the Christmas tree decoration on the tv? My grandmother had one exactly like that.

I blelieve it was painted/glazed in a ceramics class by my Godmother, who passed away in 1969, and given to my father. However, my memory may be faulty, and it may have been done by her sister, which would have been some time between 1969 and my dad's passing in 1981.

So, at least prior to 1981, and perhaps prior to 1969.

"Meet Me in St. Louis, Louis" meshes with another interest of mine, world's fairs. As far as I know, it was the only song associated with a fair that attained any lasting popularity (and in my opinion, the only one that deserved any).

Most people have only heard the chorus, as sung in the movie, and do not know that it had seven humorous verses, and the chorus was modified to be a punchline for verses three through six.

Another factoid is that the verses and choruses are all in limerick form.

Here is an acoustic phonograph presentation of three verses and the following choruses:

The lyrics of 6 verses can be found here:

Thanks, but I confess it's a bit of a cheat. This was the earliest photo of George VI giving his Christmas message that I could find but this photo is from December 1939 and the BBC television service only ran pre-war from November 1936 to September 1939 so this recreation never happened.
