I remember when I had to learn this for organ. I still have the sheet music. Boy...what a piece! @win231 @palides2021 @Pecos

Love this... one of my all time favorites. It's on my Favorite Oldies playlist which I play often while I'm doing chores. Love the leader's voice.

I've always loved America's sound with their pretty harmonies and guitars. I have the album this is on and it's my favorite cut. I'll never forget a priest named Father Peter Meduri (sp?) would analyze the words of modern (then) songs and he did this one.

This man was my dad’s favorite country singer. He thought he could sing like Hank. He was better after a few beers.

Best song Jr. cut.

This one among many others is a favourite from my childhood. Born into a Scottish/irish family, there was parties all the time at some realtives house .. and we Celts love to sing sad songs when they've had a skinful of beer... and this is one that was sung often..

I remember the song.

Burl Ives Where have all the Flowers Gone​

This is a beautiful but sad song.​

Written over 65 years ago it tells of the sadness of war and all those who die in the folly of wars.
Men (Fathers, Grandfathers, Brothers, Uncles, Nephews) fight and die in wars, their girls pick the flowers to cover the graves, "Where have all the flowers gone"?
Burl Ives is one of my favourite singers.

Bobby Darin - Dream Lover 1959​

Parents loved Bobby Darin, his songs were wholesome, he was clean cut and every mother would love for their daughters to marry a "Bobby Darin"
Bobby found his "Dream Lover" a year after this song was released - actress Sandra Lee.
Bobby Darin died of heart failure age 37. He had a weak heart because of recurring bouts of Rheumatic Fever from the age of 8.

My dad liked Hank too.

Did he ever try yodeling like Hank? My dad would and he was not very good, but like I said, he got better after a few beers. My mom would keep an eye on dad as to how much he would drink at home. I think she cut him off after four beers.

Randy is still struggling to make a comeback. He has been on a mini tour and has released a new song, “Fools Love Affair.” I hope that he gets well enough to release a few more songs before he retires, but he has to do what’s best for him.
