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.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

'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.

What a beautiful voice and person...I'll admit, this metalhead sang along with her songs.

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.

It's not getting Rickrolled. But it's close.

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.
