It's been a gazillion years since I've heard that song!

@berdie

Yes, it goes way back. I have always loved it. Reminds me of Garner State Park. Used to love Bobby Helms' version. Then Johnny Rodriguez recorded it and did a great job (plus he was soooo cute), and I loved that too. But now that I've found this version, I've decided I like it best.


Truthfully, there's really only 2 things that make me sad about getting old. One is having to wear glasses. The other is not being able to dance any more.

Chair dancing counts.  :yowsa: But, honestly, I know exactly what you mean. Sigh.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

'Rolling in my Sweet Baby's Arms'


That's the stuff! BTW I know every word and can sing it, and  pick it on either guitar or banjo, or do a decent rhythm on mandolin.  CLASSIC!  happy77 :beer:

@Hoodat

Yes! Aside from a few audio glitches, this is a fabulous performance!

I'm so glad I enjoy both genres of music and enjoy dancing to both of them. I also love Latin music. Salsa, cumbia, etc. There are some forms of music that just beckon you to the dance floor. I'm all about that.

I really liked her too!  I guess we don't see her anymore is because she pissed off the wrong person....

She recorded her last songs in the 80's.  She had a truly awesome voice!

Thank you for letting  us know.

She was one of the early "true greats". What you heard was what she was putting out there,not a tape machine.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!

Many are on my playlist, so yeah, I'm an Old Fart and I enjoin the term.
Back when music was actually music, not remixes or some such nonsense they call "music" these days.
I miss composer/musicians stuff.

I think that calls for a Time-Out.  Must have violated several BR rules the least of which is insulting the TBR body of posters.

As much as I love disco, I'll take a hard pass on that one.



Here's some ol' fart big band swing music for those who like dancing. The real thing or a cover... take your pick. I'll take both.

Don't dance to this one, y'all. Just sit back and enjoy it. Just awesome. And definitely old fart-y.

Well, we've never set the definition of an "old fart" -- so here is a quiz to see if you qualify:

https://www.gotoquiz.com/are_you_an_old_fart
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
