"Things" Named BluebirdDate: Fri, 07 Sep 2001 00:34:03 -0400 You ever notice how many things are named bluebird? As in bluebird pie for example. Or as in the Bluebird bicycle. According to Nostalgic.net the last Bluebird bicycle made by Elgin was in 1938. It is about time we had a new bike named Bluebird. Or Cavity Nester maybe? What else is named bluebird. Wendell Long

From: "Keith & Sandy Kridler" kridler"at"1starnet.com Keith Kridler Mt. Pleasant, Texas The bluebird bus company is near Jack Finch in the Carolina's. About 20 years ago Jack approached them with a nestbox and asked for assistance so that he could help the bluebirds more. They offered to make and donate all of the mounting strap hardware for his boxes. So far they have donated in excess of 17 miles of steel flat strap sheared, cut to length and with over 360,000 holes pre-punched in the straps over all of these years. I just sat in the street waiting on twenty kids to pile on a "Bluebird" bus and was sitting there thinking about Jack and the thousands of baby bluebirds that have gone in and out of nestboxes hung with mounting straps donated by this bus company. It gave me the TRUE feeling of "BLUEBIRD OF HAPPINESS" when I returned and opened up the letters about objects named bluebird.....KK
Date: Fri, 07 Sep 2001 09:00:39 -0700 Dear Wendell and friends, I was in San Rafael, California last week to visit with Mike Carabello (Carlos Santana's congo player), and while at the studio the owner of the studio showed me his antique record label collection. Yes there it was a record label called Bluebird Records. The title of the song on the label was "The Passing of Jimmy Rodgers" by Ernest Tubbs. No address was listed on the label, but it looked like it was from the early 1960s. There is a new Bluebird Records that has children songs, but I do not believe it is the same label.

From: "paul kilduff" plkldf"at"hotmail.com From: Wendell Long mrsimple"at"go-concepts.com I think of the folk song/dance. Everyone stands in a circle except for one person, usually a child. Everyone sings: Bluebird, bluebird, through my window, Take a little girl [or boy] and tap her on the shoulder, As this is sung, the person begins to wind h/her way under the joined arms of the people in the circle, and at the end, taps someone on the shoulder; that person comes into the circle and the original person stands behind the new person and puts hands on the new person's hips. The new person then winds in and out of the circle, choosing someone else to be the front person in the caterpillar. Eventually there are only two people left, and the song ends. Well. This is how I remember it. Can anyone correct my version, or remember what the name of the person is who is told "I am tired"? Paul Kilduff

From: "Bill & Dot Forrester" forreste"at"ptdprolog.net Hi all, Here are two more bluebird names. There is a variety of lacecap hydrangea (garden shrub) called 'bluebird'. Also in the early 60's, Datsun made a compact car called Bluebird 411, and continued making this model after changing the company name to Nizzzn. Dot
From: "Jim McLochlin" bluebirdbox"at"cox.net Ok guys I have a request for information that fits in with
one of our old threads (Things called Bluebird). This is no
where near my field of expertise so if anyone has any information
that might help out please respond to me and the list so I can
include the information in the Best Of... Jim McLochlin The Audubon Society of Omaha =
http://audubon-omaha.org/ You can send me an instant Message from Windows messenger to -----Original Message----- Dear Jim McLochlin, it's by chance that I found your site on bluebirds. And I fear
my question will not belong to the FAQs. Nevertheless I really
do hope that you will be able to help me. I am a curator in Die Neue Sammlung (The New Collection) a
State Museum for Design and Applied Arts in Munich, Germany,
and we have a streamlined-decade radio called "Bluebird".
Have you ever heard of this? I wonder, why this radio has been
called "Bluebird". A journalist described it as "a brazenly unfunctional
15-inch circle of bright blue mirror glass ..." You can
see a picture of it on the following pages: It was designed in 1934 for Sparton Corporation in Jackson,
Michigan, by one of the most important American industrial designers:
Walter Dorwin Teague (see e.g.
http://www.idsa.org/whatis/100yr/people/teague.html) I would be very much obliged, if you could help me or give
me hint whom to ask. Thanking you very much in advance, I send my kindest regards
from Munich/Bavaria to Omaha/Nebraska Corinna Roesner |
