Friends! The “Singing Sweethearts Blogathon” has finally arrived!

I would like to thank all the people who were kind enough to sign up for my first blogathon; I really appreciate their support.

Keep checking the roster to see the latest articles as we add them during the next few days! Thank you for reading!
Extra! We are thinking about hosting another blogathon around June 13, the Perfect Code Film Blogathon, and Crystal Kalyana of In the Good Old Days of Classic Hollywood has graciously agreed to co-host it with us. This blogathon would be all about movies that were made even better by the Code. I described why San Francisco is a perfect Code film in my article for this blogathon, and I wrote an article describing how the three movies with the Singing Sweethearts that Robert Z. Leonard directed are perfect Code films. If you are interested in writing about a movie made between 1934 and 1954 that followed the Code and profited by it, leave a comment! If I get enough positive response, I’ll issue an official announcement! –Tiffany Brannan

Dear Phyllis,
I just added you to the roster. I’m sorry for the delay, but I was busy when you first sent your article, and then my computer was being difficult.
I haven’t read your article yet, but I will read it as soon as I can!

Joyfully,

Dear Phyllis,
I just read your article and found it very enjoyable. In the quote from the “New York Times,” I found the comment about “finding that she and Mr. Eddy sing together quite well” very amusing.
Thanks again for contributing to my blogathon. I appreciate it more than I can say.
Please let me know if you host a blogathon anytime in the near future.
Joyfully,
Rebekah Brannan

Dear Constance,
I wanted to know if you saw my comment on the latest The Impossibly Difficult Name That Movie Game from January 24. I’m rather curious to know if my guess was right!
Yours Hopefully,
