Summary:JUST FOLLOW THE BOUNCING BALL Overall Rating: Comment:I REMEMBER WATCHING THE MITCH MILLER TELEVISION SHOW IN THE EARLY 60'S WHEN I WAS A KID. JUST FOLLOW THE BOUNCING BALL! AND MY FAMILY HAD THIS ALBUM ON LP BACK THEN, MY MOTHER USED TO PLAY THIS ONE EVERY WEEK WHILE SHE WAS CLEANING THE HOUSE. WE ALL USED TO SING ALONG (WITH MITCH.......AND THE GANG). LOTS OF HAPPY MEMORIES, THIS STUFF IS SO CORNY AND THAT IS WHAT MAKES IT SO GREAT.

Summary:That old gang of ours Overall Rating: Comment:I first heard this album (the original vinyl) in Mrs. Kieslings sixth grade music class in 1960. That makes it a precious memory. We all got mimeographed sheets of the words so we could sing along and we had a ball. Later our family would gather around the television once a week and sing the words off the bottom of the screen. Only Mom had a really good singing voice, but that didn't bother anyone, and the noise that ensued when they broke into "be kind to your web-footed friends" was probably frightful, but we loved every minute. I still prefer subtitles to dubbed movies.
Thanks to the magic of vinyl, and now lucite, the thrill has been preserved. When I started the disk, it all came back. I've played it for my friends and heard them repeat it word perfect (well, almost). and nobody over fifty could resist "web footed friends.
But something is missing. Every copy of the original album and all of Mitch's albums contained a printed sheet with all the words to all of the songs, so that everyone could read it as they sang. That sheet is missing from the CD. This is inexcusable. These days it is much easier to include the words in a CD than it was to include them in an album in the old days. All you have to do is to print them up as a booklet with the original cover art on the front and slide it under the label tabs. What could be easier? This IS a sing along album for Heavens sake! What good is a sing-along without the word sheet? Only about half as much. Now if we want to have a sing-along evening, someone has to sit down by the player and laboriously transcribe the words by hand.
Summary:the first of many mitch miller sing along albums Overall Rating: Comment:it's so funny to me i buy the cd version and i have 2 mint copies on album. my dad had this album with the holiday christmas and more sing along and tv sing along with mitch on album. i have all the sing along with mitch albums except 2 or 3 i think but it's time to get the entire sing along out on cd. so if you have not bought this yet well shame on you. get it sit back and enjoy and you might find yourself singing along. oh yes they should put the sing along sheets in the cds like the albums did for those who remembers them.
Summary:Singin' with Mitch...a great album for reminiscing Overall Rating: Comment:Remember those Saturday nights singing along with Mitch and the bouncing ball? We had this album when I was a kid and my sisters and I knew every word to every song. We would would sing along with my Mom for hours on end. I recently bought this CD just for the sake of old times and I'll take it with me the next time I visit home - I'm sure we'll all still sing along with Mitch.
