- Written two weeks before Foster's death, 'Beautiful Dreamer' was the last song that he wrote. I enjoyed arranging and recording this beautiful song. This recording can be found on my CD "Down Among the Cane Brakes' which is available at: tomroush. us

Stephen Foster died in his mid thirties with 36 cents to his name but his songs are still being sung nearly 200 years later.
Tom as the most accomplished musician who ever lived in my lifetime of of 93 years I listen to many of your beautiful performances every day!
Stephen Foster was a 'Scotch/Irish' renowned for their musicality and sentimental ballads. I was brought up in the same region of the English/Scottish/Ulster borderland, and as a kid in the 1950s, was made to stand up and sing his songs in front of family and friends. I hadn't much of a voice but, Foster's memorable lyrics sang more with gusto than tune, usually got me a clap. Especially when I got off the chair !
The lyrics are so moving and touch deep inside my heart 💙
Heard this song first at age 14 in a class, loved it.
Amazing and perfect music. Best wishes to you. You've left a legacy. Rich
Well done! I appreciate that fact that you do these videos more than you know. I love being able to hear the songs sung and knowing the words. Thank you.
I love listening to Great songs like is
Thanks John!!!
Hello Mr. Roush. Great rendition of another one of Stephen Foster's timeless classics. I would like to suggest 'Comrades, Fill no Glass for Me', also by Stephen Foster. I believe it was the only temperance song Stephen Foster ever wrote. Its somber melody and subject matter make it one of Mr. Foster's more unique songs in his catalogue in my opinion.
My most favourite song of all time and very authentically and most beautifully sung by you Tom. Thanks for much for sharing.
Thanks, Lars!!!!
Beautifully done! Glad to see more forgotten songs by Stephen Foster coming up.

One of my favourite songs and yours is a very good version. This was the first song I learned to play on piano when I was 8 and I was just playing this earlier today on my saxophone.
Thanks, Dave!!!
Thanks so much!
Beautiful!
Thanks, Dylan!
I’ve commented before. I purchased two of your albums; love them both. Your performance of this song is one of my favorites, right along side with Roy Orbison and Mandy Barnett. Truly a sensitive rendition!
Thanks, Dallas! Your kind words of support are appreciated.
Interestingly I never cared much for this song, not until I heard this rendering. Beautiful, most likely much closer to Foster's original intent. Than you for this revelation!
Thanks, Jk!!
You have a voice most can only hope for!
Thank you, John!!!
Sounding wonderful Tom!
Thanks, Karen! I hope that you're doing well.
thank u
I heard this song on the show Little House on the Prairie season six episode 22 called Sweet 16 and they played it at a dance with Laura and Almanzo dancing. I’ve always wondered what the song was and tonight I decided to Google it, and I found the name of it. I have never heard it sung before and I didn’t know the words to the song before so listening to you sing it is just so perfect. Your voice is so nice to listen to and I’m really grateful that you shared this with us so that we can enjoy the beautifulmusic that was written by Steven many years ago.
You are so gentle. Tom, you' ve got a beautiful voice. You can sing all kinds of songs. And, pardon my English as usual))
Ваша доброта и комплименты приветствуются.
Тhanks, Tom. Now I' m going, at last, to discover who was Stephen Foster. He wrote wonderful songs.
@@user-vk2tv7zp7k Foster wrote about 270 songs in his short lifetime of 38 years.
And dear Tom, how can I pronounced your name: ʌ or au or...
Write please!
I'm sorry ...or...? I' m only here. And I love you!!! your work is invaluable
You should get a spotify
Tom, there's a big number of changes coming to youtube, namely one that basically deletes your channel if It's not commercially viable. A lot of people might leave youtube, so you might want to check out vimeo.Anyway, I love your music!
Thanks
Dedicated to little Helga Susanne, born 1st. September, 1932 in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. Murdered with cyanide capsules, along with her sisters, Hildegard(12), Holdine (11), Hedwig (7), Heidrun (5) and brother Helmut(10), by their mother in Berlin on 1st. May, 1945, aged 12. All cremated by Russian soldiers and ashes scattered. Just beautiful, innocent children. 😒

Tom died last year
Roy Orbison is the best
