Tunes and tears

I have a cabinet of CD's.  Every now and then, I like to select one without looking or choosing.  Today, my fingers found Eddy Arnold. I hadn't listened to that CD for probably 20 years.  It is titled Eddy Arnold Greatest Hits.  There is the same tone, rhythm and sense about the songs as there was when my sister and I did the dishes to his music in our big house 70 years ago. 


Listen for yourself:

If "Please Help Me, I'm Falling" doesn't do it for you, it might be a bit too much of a lament.   Try this:

When we had a tour of the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, I was surprised at how many singers and how many songs were in my head from years ago.
