Thankfully I have family experience with military life and death for our country the USA. Our flag is hanging outside our front door and I remember writing an biography for my Uncle Joe who served in WWII and the Korean War.

So thank you to our veterans on this Memorial Day in the USA.

@emmalee here is another:




Recently came across this one and the instrumentals are now a part of my music therapy.

I can see why you like the instrumentals, @Starthrower. The song is so lovely and easy to listen to.

Bobbie Gentry, I remember her and that song.

I like this version better for my music therapy. I think the piano background works well.

Kind of like the song above this. Just rearranged my tunes and I put those two together.

Note: The end bothers me in the video because of the loud clapping audience. The song I use does not have that.

Always liked this song. Bob Seger did the original. He and Jason Aldean performed this duet of it so well:

Yes, Bob Seger, I have many of his CDs, Jim. He is one of the great ones.

Attended graduate school in Calgary, Alberta in Canada. Canadian country artists do not get a lot of airplay in the USA, but there are plenty of them I still follow since returning to the States. Some of the best -

Speaking as a proud Canadian, I could not agree more, @oceanofsound26

He has a future in country music, Jim, at least he does in my opinion.

I couldn't agree more, em. It's cute the way He points to his daughter during this performance. They show her at the very end of it.

That was so cute, Jim. I love that song.

@jimH

Love the original version, too.

Thanks for posting that, @emmalee. I never get tired of hearing some songs and that is definitely one of them.
There's such a tenderhearted sweetness to it in both melody and lyrics. Kind of like you, em. Tenderhearted and sweet...

You are welcome, Jim.

Thank-you for your kind words.
