The great Andrew sisters deserved this respectful tribute! They were an amazing and talented group and their legacy lives on. What an interesting story regarding Maxine and bittersweet at the same time. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the world just embraced diversity instead of worrying about what goes on with other people? Thank you so much for another wonderful visit! Have a wonderful weekend 😊
Another great video Steve! I love the Andrew Sisters!! My dad loved listening to the Andrew Sisters and I remember seeing them in Buck Privates. I, also, did not know about Maxine
Hello Steve! Thank you so much for this video. So many wonderful songs and memories of the Andrew Sisters. Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy is one of my favorite songs. A wonderful group. Thank you and have a great weekend. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎵
I've always had a thing for Maxene! By the way, you panned passed Brian Keith and his daughter's memorial. I remember him killing himself shortly after his daughter's own suicide. Another interesting fact is his step mother was the actress Peg Entwhistle who killed herself by jumping off the Hollywood sign. All fascinating stuff to someone stuck over here in England! Love Your channel.
@@TheGraveyardChannel Oh, right, thanks. I put "Brian Keith" in Search on your UA-cam page and it didn't throw it up. That's why I asked. I'll have another look....😀
A thing for Maxine? You do know Maxine was a Lesbian. Patty was prejudiced and refused to speak to her after La Verne (the peacemaker) passed away and told her that if she contacted her again she’d sue her. When Maxine died of a heart attack Patty was very distraught as she knew she’d lost her chance of reconciliation. She was never the same again.
"Boogy woogy bugle boy of company B" 👍 Yeah my mom loved to sing and dance she looked like she could have been part of the 4Th Andrew sister, she loved them. Of course way B4 my time but I remember mom teaching me how to do it later toward my teen years! We also used to pretend to be the temptations on the fire place brick.its a no wonder she pushed to go to dancing school👯♂️💃👯♀️💃.thanks for the memories great trip Steve😊
Steve you do such a historic and respectful presentation. Others I’ve heard are not as well done as yours. Keep up this final send off for these stars.
I always appreciate how you produce your videos in a way that has us viewers feel like we are a visiting family friend you are graciously entertaining by taking us on these tours… I truly enjoy the in-depth info you offer, while making it feel like I am in the passenger’s seat next to you.
No I never knew of the ladies but glad they got to be happy and be legal. I love their music even today and the big bands too.that was years ago. All that is as great now as it ever was. I did not know their private stuff so thanks for sharing.
I Do remember the songs , not the group or sisters, but them songs are still heard. I never heard anything about them so it is a first for me . Aw shucks they closed it off to public! Interesting! Nice Tribute! Thanks for scanning around showing the scenery! Thanks Bob
The Andrews sisters were so special and the music was so fun. I can remember as a child watching people all of a sudden get up and start dancing to their music. I think their music was the diversion from the seriousness of the war and just breathe liveliness and happiness into the times. I didn't know about the situation with Linda when I was a child, however, it seemed to be a situation that wasn't out of the realm of normal but always a big secret. I guess as long as nobody talked about it it didn't exist!? Sad times
Thanks for sharing Steve. It seems like the era in which the Andrews sisters lived was much more simple. Funny that Rum and Coca Cola was the top song of 1944.
These ladies were certainly iconic. I remember my grandfather having some of their records. It is interesting to see one sister buried separately. I really would have guessed they would be near each other.
My brother best friend and mine he knew The Andrews sisters when they grew up on Cutler Street in Worcester Mass the house The Andrews sisters grew up on is still there there's a lot more to this story but it's wonderful that he got to know them they were his next door neighbors their family the Andrews family the couple doors down from his family and he knew the sisters great group of young ladies great family
Hi Steve, Thanks for sharing this story on the Andrew Sister's it's amazing Thanks to you I got to learn alot. May they Rest in Peace and there memory and music always live on 🙏 Have a Wonderful weekend.
That’s so interesting to learn that about Maxine . I still love the Andrew sisters and their sweet harmonies to this day . I have a tradition of playing Bing Crosby Christmas cd every year on Christmas Day , and of course love those numbers with the sisters singing with him . I remember seeing their movies as a kid throughout the 70’s. Great vlog Steve
I have a miniature record about 3 inches across that has them singing "Pennsylvania Polka" on it. I used to be able to play it on my Mickey Mouse record player when I was a child.
America's Wartime Sweethearts. If Maxene found her happiness with another woman, good for her. That's all that really matters. I actually didn't know until you mentioned it. So thank you Steve, you taught me something today that I didn't know yesterday.
I didn't know they were so successful. They were right at the top of popular music in their day. I remember some of their songs when I was growing up in the 60's which stood the test of time. Thanks for the upload, Steve. Kindest regards to you and Jim DJ from the UK
Hi Steve ! Maxine and Patty were estranged for many years after their sister LaVern died. They were still estranged when Maxine died. Perhaps it was Maxine's "secret" which caused the rift. Perhaps it was LaVern who held the three of them together. Who knows? I love the old songs and music from the'30's and '40's. The "Big Band" era. The Andrew Sisters were great. There is a video on You Tube of hte sisters with a hilarious appearance by Shemp Howard. Cheers to you and Jim. Stay safe.
That's why I love that you take us on your adventures one day Red Bone then the Andrews Sisters. Someday there will be a song written about you . Maybe it will be called STEVES the Boogie Woogie Vlogger Boy from Company V lol 😆 thanks again
I heard long ago that Maxine was a lesbian. Her family was Greek-American and did not accept it at the time. They were a fabulous group and stand the test of time. I remember when they sang on day time television and they were great. Thank you for the memories!
Who cares what the woman did in her bed? What should be remember was her contribution to the (real) music industry. So the woman enjoyed eating fish and fishing.
Hi Steve. Not too long ago i discovered the Andrews sisters and i love them! I did read somewhere that Maxine did adopt Linda. Times were very different then . I also heard that Patty did not get along qith Maxine and i don't think they were on speaking terms.
Excellent Steve! You never disappoint. That is so sweet what Maxine did by adopting Linda. You’re right though, it’s sad that they had to go through that just because Maxines mom and partner were together. In a perfect world, we would love and live in perfect harmony and everyone is equal.
Question for me is: What was the age difference of this couple that one could legally adopt the other? Not that there's anything wrong with that. (Seinfeld episode reference intended.)
I've heard of the whole adopting thing and it's sad so many gay couples needed to do this. I didn't know about Maxene either but am glad she had a loving partner, many people never get that. Anyway, my grandparents loved the Andrews Sister, and "their" song was Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree. They sang it to each other often. Many years ago I found a double CD set of their music and bought it for them. When they passed I got all of their music, which included the CD I bought. It's really good music and even though it's more of grandparents music, it's timeless.
I generally avoid graveyards so you can imagine my hesitancy but because this seemed to be more of a celebration of The Andrews Sisters I could not resist thank you for this video and the information you have won my subscription
Thanks 🙏 amigo, great video, great research. People can be so hateful and prejudice when it comes to race, gender sexuality and religion. I don’t understand, I do know that it is a matter of mindset. If you look for the worst in people you will find it in yourself. It always amazes me when I know humans are inherently looking for to things love and acceptance. I’ve never understood the hateful things people do to one another. Take care of yourself my friend.
Talk about a blast from the past. Probably before my time but my Mom had some of their records. I also remember the Lennon sisters. I really appreciate your channel giving reviews of forgotten & overlooked people You do a great job
Another great video Steve. Wonderful tribute to the Andrew Sisters. I didn't know that they weren't all buried in the same cemetery. But the three Stooges Moe, Shemp and Curly who were all brothers, Moe is buried in a different cemetery from Shemp and Curly, and Shemp and Curly aren't buried beside each other. I remember being suprised by that when I first seen it.
Hi Chef, you might be thinking of the linen sisters who I did a video about a couple of weeks ago. They were regulars on the Lawrence Welk show. Although I guess it’s possible that the Andrews sisters were on too!
Hello Steve ! Thank you so much for the awesome video and all of your videos that you put out ! I got a DVD blue ray player at a rummage here where I live but I lost the remote so it may not even work ! I paid 10.00 and she wont refund me but maybe my other DVD player remote will work with this DVD Blue ray player but kinda dount it so Im out 10.00 I guess ! Well atleast I did not spend more on that on it ! Im very upset I cant find the remote to this DVD Blue ray player ! Maybe Ill find it but kinda dount it been looking everywhere ! Have a nice day glad I subscribe to the channel !
Hey Steve I'm 30 years old in I love listening to them great video

What an interesting story regarding Maxine and bittersweet at the same time. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the world just embraced diversity instead of worrying about what goes on with other people? Thank you so much for another wonderful visit! Have a wonderful weekend 😊
I loved the seasonal duet The Andrews sisters recorded with Bing Crosby called "Mele Kalikimaka."
No, Steve...you are not the only one - fantastic story, and thanks so much!
Another great video Steve! I love the Andrew Sisters!! My dad loved listening to the Andrew Sisters and I remember seeing them in Buck Privates. I, also, did not know about Maxine
I didn't know about Maxine & Linda...Steve hope You and Jim are great & the Family too...

My Mom listened to the Andrew Sisters albums. I remember singing along to those songs!

wunderbare Gegend und vielen Dank...
Loved the music for sure. Boogie woogie.
There is always that one family member who does there own thing - you nailed that one Steve 👌
He sure did! Its happening in my family and has always been the case. I love Steve and his channel! So glad I subscribed!
Ahh, the Andrew Sisters. But, I must confess, I am absolutely in love with Doris Day, now that you mentioned her. Great vlog, again, as usual
Doris REQUESTED no gravesite after she was cremated. I'm a huge Doris fan too
My mom was a huge Doris Day fan as well. I grew up watching her movies with my mom.
America's Wartime Sweethearts. If Maxene found her happiness with another woman, good for her. That's all that really matters. I actually didn't know until you mentioned it. So thank you Steve, you taught me something today that I didn't know yesterday.
I didn't know they were so successful.

I didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing that with us, Deutschie 👍
Wow! Great info and research. I like your sense of humor.
Thanks, LA!
They should do a movie about The Andrews Sisters!!! I'd love to see it!!! 🍿 📽️
Thank you, Steve!💗
My dad fought in WWII Pacific, he’s buried at the Riverside National Cemetery in Riverside, California
These are the best looking cemeteries
That's why I love that you take us on your adventures one day Red Bone then the Andrews Sisters. Someday there will be a song written about you . Maybe it will be called STEVES the Boogie Woogie Vlogger Boy from Company V lol 😆 thanks again
Lol, now I would definitely listen to that! 😂👍
@@TheGraveyardChannel me too top 40 I'm sure on the hit parade haha 😄

I didn’t know about Maxine and Linda. Everyday is another chance to learn. Thanks Steve
My dad grew up near them an Kirk douglas,barbara stanyck,@there,my grandma was a movie star double ,she use to always say "marvelous"
that is an amazing story. i do not think most people know the story.
That is the best cemetery to visit for its small size. You basically bump into one famous grave after another.
Hi Steve. Not too long ago i discovered the Andrews sisters and i love them! I did read somewhere that Maxine did adopt Linda. Times were very different then . I also heard that Patty did not get along qith Maxine and i don't think they were on speaking terms.

My grandmother always was a big fan
I remember watching them on Abbott and Costello. Maxine looks like Patty.
I love the Andrews Sisters. Good video
I love their music to this day!
Love your tours!!
Maxine used to be a guest panelist on the Gong show
How cool ! I discover the Andrew Sisters , when Christina Aguilera did a tribute to them in her candy man video. Excellent video !
I STILL REMEMBER THERE SONG
"THE BOYS FROM COMPANY B"
I generally avoid graveyards so you can imagine my hesitancy but because this seemed to be more of a celebration of The Andrews Sisters I could not resist thank you for this video and the information you have won my subscription

Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy is the one I’m most familiar with. It must come from watching all the old war movies when I was a kid. Good times.
hi steve!!! thanks for remembering the Andrew sisters singing group!!!! I saw them on the TV in reruns!! thank you so much ✌out!!!!
Learned something new!
Talk about a blast from the past. Probably before my time but my Mom had some of their records. I also remember the Lennon sisters. I really appreciate your channel giving reviews of forgotten & overlooked people
You do a great job
Thanks for sharing the story of the Andrews sisters. Although they were before my time, I remember my parents listening to them.
Not my era, but I love the Andrews Sisters! Good for Maxine and Linda! I never knew about them either. Thanks for another great story Steve!
Nice video. They were before my time, but I still have a good appreciation for them. Interesting info, as always, thank you.
Thank you for showing their resting places. I really love them.
Loved them! Although I heard them in the 50’s. Thanks Steve 😊👍💕
Great blog Steve I have heard of The Andrews Sisters thanks for doing this blog
Thank you Steve for sharing the memories of the Andrews Sisters, it was great video to show see you on the next video.
I am so very happy to hear more of the hidden past. Thank you so much for sharing.
No I sure didn’t know this learn something everyday thanks for information
Thanks Steve, for telling the story of their lives. I Never knew their backgrounds, just loved their music!
Another great video Steve. Wonderful tribute to the Andrew Sisters. I didn't know that they weren't all buried in the same cemetery. But the three Stooges Moe, Shemp and Curly who were all brothers, Moe is buried in a different cemetery from Shemp and Curly, and Shemp and Curly aren't buried beside each other. I remember being suprised by that when I first seen it.
Thank you so much, Steve! I love these women! I’m discovering their music and by far ‘Rum and Coca Cola’ is my favorite! Happy Friday, Steve! ♥️
I remember them on Lawrence Welk when my Mother & Grandma would watch! Thanks for the memories!!
Hi Chef, you might be thinking of the linen sisters who I did a video about a couple of weeks ago. They were regulars on the Lawrence Welk show. Although I guess it’s possible that the Andrews sisters were on too!
I've listened to their music my entire life. Thank you for sharing their story and final resting places.
I love them always and Doris Day even more. But holy cow!!!!! Thank you for all this info!!!!!
I'm a little younger but I love their music 🎶 🎵
