Your Favourite folk and country songs and music Old and new!"!

I think I was around 10-12 years old and just discover girls were for more than pulling pigtails. My mother always watched the Kate Smith show and after hearing Anita Carter sing she was my first love.

 
When I was living in North Wales (in my late teens/early twenties) I was very much into the folk music scene and have fond memories of Alex Campbell playing at the folk club a couple of times.

 
And I especially love this tune for multiple reasons. . .Harlan is the county next to Bell county, KY where I was born on my Grandpa's farm way back in the mountains outside of Pineville - mentioned in the song (even though I grew up in Ohio where my Dad is from). Patty is a KY gal and has one of those voices I grew up listening to. . .(Mom and all her folks).
