Going with flow of Christmas tree brain, I digress here; but it’s Hal’s post, and I know he’ll be first to understand (and it is “Off-the-Wall”). In late ‘60s, Tiny Bubbles played often Hawaiian radio. About same time, was bridesmaid in wedding where bride and groom came down separate aisles same time singing “The Hawaiian Wedding Song”* to each other, and later Tiny Bubbles appropriate at reception.
Both had beautiful voices, but knew even then, whole ceremonial trappings lil’ kitsch-y, especially our gold muu-muus made outta heavy satin, each dragging two ft. train. (My mother had made them by bride’s design, and said “O, dear!” (her version of swearing) every time a needle broke while sewing delicate ruffles in uncooperative fabric):
* trivia: “Hawaiian Wedding Song” adapted from “Ke Kali Nei Au” (Waiting for Thee) circa 1926 by Charles E. King, songwriter born in Hawaii of Hawaiian descent.Digging in GA, ‘bout a mile from the Savannah River
