  • I had a request for this song and I'm so glad it came through. It's a beautiful piece that I couldn't wait to learn and since today is the first day in a week I've not been coughing, I figured it was time!
    One take cover means just that, one take, no overdubs. The fiddle parts are just improvisations, each take so when they come together, it's a bit of a miracle!

    Love the simplicity you bring to this song. Really nice. In the early 80s I'd visit my grandma and grandpa outside of Hilo HI and the radio station had this in their rotation. So, it always reminds me of beautiful HI and my grandparents. Thanks!!

    And as a lie here, pushing 70 with nothing left to do---'cept watch my country--- and my son, go off to war...I thank you for the memories of both Love And War.
    Peace.

    Never heard a female simg this song before. As usual you have put your stamp of talent upon it. I noticed the framed photos on your wall. I thought I recognized Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn. Had to zoom in on the other photo. Quickly I saw it was Wanda Jackson. She was my favorite country singer growing up. I have I beleive most of her albums. In the near future I will request a spg or two if it is ok with you.😊😊😊

    • @TaraDunphy
      @TaraDunphy  3 месяца назад

      Yep, that's absolutely fine with me. I love Wanda. I was lucky enough to play in her band for over ten years when she would play up in Canada, right up until her retirement. She's a wonderful person and entertainer.

    I left you a comment about this being my mothers favorite song. There was nothing there for my comment to be deleted.. Was it you or is you tube up to its old tricks. I left a comment on another singers site saying what a beautiful song. Thats all i said and you tube deleted it . The singer told me they had not deleted it. Just curious if that was the reason. Its happening a lot apparently.
