Sad Song

Jim Reeves was some of the first recorded music I can remember listening to. My dad was a fan as well. Brings to mind "That Silver Haired Daddy of Mine." Allen, since you bumped this thread, may I offer this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEy6EuZp9IY

Wow, my sweetie, carolinanan117, and I are huge John Prine fans. This one is a particular favorite of mine. Back during our student days, we saw John Prine and Steve Goodman in concert.

(Steve Goodman wrote 'The City of New Orleans'.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ0JgqoF2W4

This one by John Prine is a real tear jerker.

Yes, no one can move you from tears to laughter quite like the great John Prine. I`ve seen him 3 or 4 times through the years, and he is always a special treat. Sam Stone is a classic. How about this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZE4IqeXnT8

I had to give up trying to perform Sam Stone; too many friends and relatives, too close to the bone, too
close to home. Voice would just quit in the middle.

For tears and laughter on loss, this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrWb21A_yJU
For tears and laughter on loss (and gain) while holding it together, this one.

Well, this song really isn`t that sad, but it does go good with a cold beer, and I think that it surely deserves a place on this thread. ( It actually is pretty sad when you consider that Steve Goodman had about two and a half years to live at the time of this performance.)
