"Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah"

    I know that I have been tormenting everyone with my 70's music the past few weeks,  but I went camping this past weekend with The Boy Scouts er Scouting USA with my troop, I'm still an adult leader, and my troop assisted.  Its the first time in years that I went. I stuck my toe in the water again after several years, my son has "Eagled out" back in 2021 but I kept my membership current mainly to teach the shooting sports. ,22 Rifle, Shotgun,  I make use of my NRA certifications. but I will not deal with "Wrist Rockets" Basically Slingshots, those things are a liability waiting to happen. if I am using my own that I have taken care of, that is different...but the scout ones are like rental cars...if you know where I am going with this.  Well anyway...I decided to go with "Hello Muddah...Hello Faddah"

                       This is my copy of that famous Ronco Record

             You can see some of my other records

                My Stereo that I bought back in the 80's from the PX

   My Technics Turntable, it works like a CD player, instead of a arm like most, it has a tracking like what a CD player would use,  Many years ago, I modified the top shelf where I could pick it up and slide it out and place it on an indent with an retractable sliding roller like what a filing cabinet would use so it would easy to use the player since the top opens to lay the record on top and close the cover.  All I have to do is plug in the power strip.

"Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh (A Letter from Camp)" is a Grammy Award-winning novelty song by Allan Sherman and Lou Busch, based on letters of complaint Allan received from his son Robert while Robert attended Camp Champlain in Westport, New York. The song is a parody that complains about the fictional "Camp Granada" and is set to the tune of Amilcare Ponchielli's "Dance of the Hours". The name derives from the first lines:

Hello Muddah,
Hello Fadduh.
Here I am at
Camp Granada.
Camp is very
entertaining.
And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining.

The lyrics go on to describe unpleasant, dangerous, and tragic developments, such as fellow campers going missing or contracting deadly illnesses. He begs to be taken home, promising to behave and even let his aunt hug and kiss him. At the end, he notes that the rain has stopped and fun activities have begun, and asks his parents to "kindly disregard this letter".
After the song scored #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 list for three weeks beginning August 24, 1963, Sherman wrote a new 'back at Camp Granada' version, "Hello Mudduh, Hello Fadduh!" for a May 27, 1964 performance on the The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Sherman wrote a third version for, and acted in, a 1965 TV commercial for a board game about Camp Granada, a "real rotten camp".
The song won a 1964 Grammy Award for comedy. The song has been played numerous times on the Dr. Demento Show and is featured on the Rhino Records compilation album, Dr. Demento 20th Anniversary Collection. Variations of the song include translations in Swedish ("Brev från kolonien" by Cornelis Vreeswijk), Finnish ("Terve mutsi, terve fatsi, tässä teidän ihmelapsi") and Norwegian, ("Brev fra leier'n" by Birgit Strøm). The Finnish version lyrics is included in Finnish Boy Scouts' songbook.
