Thanks for the background story about this song. I love Nat King Cole’s rendition of it and now I have found your beautiful rendition as well. I am an immigrant from China and lived in New York City once. I simply love this song and learned to sing it on my own. It has such a universal appeal.
Haven't heard this song for decades and then watching an old recording of "The Good Old Days" last night it was sung (just a verse and chorus) by a marvellous female Irish singer. In a higher key than Annie. This one had a voice that rang like a bell. Sidewalks of New York has such an attractive melody I had to find more versions and stumbled across this one. I don't know why I haven't heard of Annie Hatke before - a very competent guitarist and a natural vibrato (or tremolo?) in her voice, somewhat reminiscent of Shirley Abicair. I will be listening to more of her work. I wonder does Annie play any other instruments? Traditional songs tend to call for traditional instruments...
You have a very beautiful voice. So glad people are keeping this old music alive. So many lives and stories that made this country.

The verse melody is exactly like Jimmie Rogers's "Waiting for a Train", I'm sure this song is what he patterned his verse melody from....
I sang this song as a lullaby to my children
Yes!
fantastic ～
