May 1965: "Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter" by Herman's Hermits was # 1 this week and the story of my sister's canary

"Herman's Hermits" came to the US with The Beatles in 1964. 

They had a long list of hits in US radio, from "Mrs. Brown you've got a lovely daughter" to "There's kind of hush".    

My sister was one of their biggest fans with pictures and photos of Peter Noone on her bedroom wall.    In 1968, our parents gave her a canary and she named him "Herman".    

She was very fond of Herman The Canary and all of the band's tunes.   Unfortunately, Herman collapsed one day and that was it!
