When I was playing in the Stanford University Band (LSJUMB) we played this when the team came out on to the field - a great arrangement! You might find a video of this on youtube here or there.
I lot of people don’t know she actually wrote this song in addition to performing it. Norman Lear took a chance on her writing the theme song for the Jeffersons and she hit it out of the park!
Song makes me sadn think that from the 1800's until the 1980's, that's the way it was, sons followed their fathers into tha mills and m ade a good living. Many went from high school straight into the mill.
What a treat to listen to ! THANKS so much for sharing this bodacious "blast from the past" with us! What a National Treasure Susan Silos is! Wonderfully gifted singer, actress, voice over artist, etc. Bless her heart !!
A young Dick Nash, according to an interview with his son (also on youtube) this is about 1954, a year after he arrived in LA from Boston. Hanna wrote a couple charts for Nash immediately after he sat in with Hanna’s rehearsal band.
i didn't know her - even tho i was around - altho extremely young when she wrote this song based on Eddy Arnold's suggestions - Cindy had a pretty voice - singing in a mainstream style (not country-western) - this performance doesn't have the dynamic qualities that Eddy's did that made his a huge hit - but it is a fine rendition regardless
I was about to send this to a friend that had a few of her guinea pigs pass. I thought it was the perfect song, then it said chucking the guinea pig into the bin!! :O
This is song is everthing! But, I always envisioned a different person singing it😂 The voice was so ribust, I had no idea she was the writer and originator.
Never heard this song before. Quite a melody and few singers could pull off the note dips and phrasing like Mary did. Just loved that woman's voice. Thanks for posting.
This song sounds familiar. Oh, I know! I created this rendition of her song. Nice that people are hearing this lovely Kay Swift song. Here's my blog post about it. gershwin100.wordpress.com/2016/12/22/my-thoughts-are-like-the-little-birds/ I see you noted you don't own the copyright to this performance. I guess I do. Still, acknowledging the original creator is only reasonable when posting someone else's work, imo.
