LOST ALBUM GIVEAWAY
Peggy Lee Album Won by EPH Fan
Guest post by by Linda Graupner-Braucht
The Platters. Roy Clark. Dolly Parton, Tom Jones. Buck Owens. Chet Atkins. Andy Williams, Peggy Lee. Ah, the turntables they’ve spun on!
I am so glad I won the Peggy Lee album from the Eikenbary-Pierce House Lost Album Giveaway! Peggy Lee was born in Jamestown, North Dakota, one year before my mom. Mom was born on a farm 40 miles northeast of Jamestown. I remember my mom talking about the old community club hall where her parents and all the homesteaders liked to party.
Mom said Peggy Lee sang there when she was known as Norma Egstrom. Norma’s family eventually lived in the upstairs of the train depot in the small town of Wimbledon, North Dakota, where she graduated from high school in 1937. At that time Peggy was already singing with a local college dance band in surrounding towns. One of those towns would have been in my mom’s hometown, Kensal, North Dakota.
That was only about 15 miles away from Wimbledon. Mom was only one year younger than Norma (Peggy Lee). As a kid, I remember my mom talking about Peggy Lee. We thought it was wise to have changed her name! North Dakota has a lot of people with crazy last names.”
One thing we’ve learned from going through this house is that “you can’t take it with you.” So we launched a contest we’re calling the “Lost Album Giveaway.” From now until the albums are gone, we’ll giving away one album for every 10 signups to our email list. To collect your album, you can either come to the historic house on Spokane’s South Hill, pick up your prize, and get a free renovation tour, or we’ll mail the album to you.
