Seriously, does it get any better than this:
Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do
Here's something I badly miss: In the sixties in my city, on A.M. radio, you could here songs like this ... alongside Motown ... alongside Sinatra ... alongside The Airplane ... alongside B.B. King ... alongside The Beatles ... alongside Johny Cash. All on one station! Because it was all pop music!
At least that's the way it was in my city. And it was a really great thing to be exposed to such variety and diversity in music, as a kid.
Somehow we lost this, and became segmented and sorted. And related to the subject matter of this forum, we've also done it in politics - which in my opinion is a root of our current problems. We're segmented & intolerant. Sadly.
Well - if you really want to shed a tear, there's Bobby Goldsboro's "Honey", which to me sounds melodically similar to Kristofferson's "Jody and the Kid":Well said. You bring a tear to my eye.

When it comes to Sinatra, I'll just leave this here as I check out for the nite. Have a good one!father and daughter - not the topic, but the performers, in this case
Thanks, and you're so right here in your description. I couldn't access it through your link, but just found it on YouTube. I've heard it a long time ago, but not since and nearly forgot it. Thanks. Have a good nite!My last post
This song was made popular by the Animals. It was an old traditional song. The Animals had a big hit with it, but their version lost all of the meaning that came from the original song.
First of all they lost that it was female perspective.
first person song. Here is Dylan doing it 1961 - A version that keeping the integrity of the song. Hope those who have time to listen - enjoy. It is an American campfire classic.

One of the two greatest country singers ever. IMO.
