Thanks, Princess. They don't make 'em like that anymore. I noticed after your posts played YouTube displayed a link for, among others, Ol' Man River - William Warfield and MGM chorus(Showboat 1951). Felt compelled to listen to that but it left me hungry for Paul Robeson's version from the 1936 movie.

And that put me to remember. For 39 years in a row until the last one in 2015, the Memphis in May Festival would end with a Sunset Symphony in the park next to the Mississippi river. In most of those James Hyter sang Ol' Man River. Here's his version:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7s1Fh2kSS64

This was solid listen.

I'm don't listen to Podcasts. They can be made by any yahoo. Drawn out subjects on audio...no text follow up links. Boring 90% of the time.

It may be the happening thing, not with me.

Tennessee Ernie Ford, Wayfaring Stranger

I don't even remember what got me started on this, but listened to a bunch of folks* playing the old Gospel standard, Wayfaring Stranger.

My favorite was Tennessee Ernie Ford's version. Don't hear enough of him anymore.

I Wanna Be An Old Lady' by Brennen Leigh and Noel McKay

Seems like most of my posts here are by dead people. So here's one from a new favorite.

Sunny Sweeney and Brennen Leigh sing "But You Like Country Music" at Saxon Pub Austin

And this is the two of them together. Hope it doesn't get me in trouble with DC's politcal police; again.

I know there's a thread for him, but I am kinda surprised no one posted a song in here.

RIP Glen Campbell
