Very nice - I also remember my mom singing this tune. Only she had a habit of only singing one or two lines over and over again, all day long - drove us nuts! 😊 Mom is 91 now and in lockdown in a nursing home due to the coronavirus. I haven’t seen her since the middle of March - she doesn’t hear well, so phone calls and Facetime are out. I mail a letter to her almost every day to let her know what’s going on. Hopefully I can see her again very soon. I’m going to work on this song so I can play it for her, over and over again - all day long. 🤣 Thanks much!

I’m sorry to hear about your mom Robert… That must be difficult to not be able to visit her. It’s one of the really heartbreaking things about this whole situation is how loved ones can’t be at the bedside. Take good care & hope she pulls through 🙏🏻

@beverlyweaver8347 4 жыл бұрын

Robert Lyle, I don't usually comment, but want to say learning this song for your mom is a wonderful idea! Listening to music from their era has been proven, in old folks, to support brain function, additionally, it soothes like nothing else. Seems our memories for music are very, very powerful. Super cool.

@letsrememberthis 4 жыл бұрын

Well Stu, they certainly hit a ‘chord’ with me. Most especially the embellishments you offer. Those touches make the world of difference to a tune’s value. Some are a bit mind-boggling for me as I take baby steps, others are surprisingly easy to incorporate. And as a ‘musical baby’, the jam tracks (with voice off) are training me to understand the relationship between the other instruments and my own playing, to hear and to respond to the progress of the tune. I really need that training!
