All the way from the Texas hill country! Long Live Gene! I still blast this song at high volume when I'm riding my truck in the beautiful hill country of San Antonio!

One of my favourite songs from childhood.I like the extra lines in this version of the song which help to make it clearer. Also the "other " being female in this original, helps separate the "snow bird" from the person, which becomes confused in other versions.

My grandfather covered his song Pages of Time. I wish he was still around to enjoy all of this today.

Do you know when it was recorded Did he record it in early 1970 or as early as 1969

Ha thats life, same with Elvis he sang many covers and made it real BIG. Without him the original authors behind those covers would still be hidden in some obscurity, perhaps. Not akways but usually.bI see it as Win Win? For Both! Similar with The Carpenters, they made original artist many times richer/even tad more famous? with their covers of them ie Mr Postman etc. The Inventor needs the Magician to bring compositions to Life? Anne Murray was simple country gal, but she suddenly became the magician that Snowbird needed at that precise point in 1970?

For those who have not experienced grave physical or mental suffering, they probably have not lived long enough. Somehow, we must endure and continue to be grateful to God. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church states in paragraph 2280, "God [is] the sovereign Master of life. We are obliged to accept life gratefully and preserve it for his honor and the salvation of our souls. We are stewards, not owners, of the life God has entrusted to us. It is not ours to dispose of."

Quite a story. It makes me so sad that this man suffered from terrible depression. I suffer from that terrible disease also. Thankfully, I have a good psychiatrist Who monitors my medication. I am so thankful for that.
