Katie & Kimble: Does Katie Have a Song?


Recently, a Katie & Kimble reader named Marissa has been posting some questions and comments here on the Katie & Kimble Blog. She’s really got me thinking, too! For example, Marissa and I have discussed Kimble’s song, Mr. Russell’s song, and even Twinkle’s song (sort of). So, Marissa asked me if Katie has a song.

Well, there is a song that I think of when I think of Katie. It’s not really “Katie’s Song.”  But for people who have read Katie & Kimble: A Ghost Story, I think you’ll know why I think of Katie when I hear this song.

The song is called “Down by the Old Mill Stream.” It was written in 1910, and so it was popular when Kimble was a child. There is a line in the song that goes like this:

Down by the old mill stream
(not the river but the stream)...

If you have read the first Katie & Kimble book (Katie & Kimble: A Ghost Story), I think you can see Kimble’s sense of humor in this song (and you know which chapter I’m talking about!)

It’s sort of an “inside joke.” That means that only Katie & Kimble readers will know what the joke means! I thought that was kind of funny!

So, thanks, Marissa! What do you think of “Katie’s Song”? I found a free sample of the part I wanted you to hear over on iTunes. Listen to it here!
