All I Do is Hang My Head and Cry (1940's cover)

[@lindamcgee3651]

It's great to hear the natural country singing sound. Country music has really changed. Thanks for sharing. Praying and Blessed! 🙏🤗💕🌄

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Thanks, Linda! It sure has in a lot of ways, not for the better, unfortunately! :-)

[@christinej2358]

My dad loved hearing Gene Autry sing. Then my dad loved most all country singers. If my dad was still living he sure would enjoy listening to you sing. That song just brought back some great memories of my dad and his love of music. Thank you!

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Thanks so much, Christine! Sounds like he had great taste in music. :-) Glad this song brought back fond memories.

[@kathleensaeva2649]

I enjoyed this song, Paul. I hadn't heard it in a while. Since listening to Old Timey Tuesdays, you have inspired me to get a turntable to play my albums on sooner rather than later. I have two milk crates with stored albums. It would be fun to hear Gene Autry, Sons of The Pioneers, Marty Robbins, Jimmie Rodgers, Lefty Frizzell, Carter Family, Johnny Cash, etc., on a turntable again. Thanks, Paul! Tell Granny I said "Howdy" from New York State. Bright Blessings.

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Absolutely, Kathleen! Get those records out and let them spin! I bet they will sound great! I'll tell Granny you said howdy! Stay warm up there in NY! :-)

[@joeeverett9775]

Smiley Burnet’s character in the Gene Autry movie s was Frog Milhouse “frog” for the way he sang. Later. Milhouse was one of the engineers on the train in petticoat junction. At one time Autry bought Tweetsie and moved it to California and later sold it to come back to Boone as the tourist attraction

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Joe, thanks for watching and for sharing that cool info! :-)

[@DanielLDavis-df3uy]

To me that is pure classic country. The kind that was popular when I was just a kid some 70+ tears ago. Thanks for the memories.

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Thank you, Daniel! So glad that you enjoyed the song. It really is a classic!

[@ls7196]

Morning, Paul, Gene Autry that takes me back a long time. Smiley Burnette.

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Yes, Sir! Thanks for watching. :-)

[@rebeccaboehret4870]

The electric vehicle laughs passing a gas station 😄😄😄😄but just the idea of them make a lot of us cry! 😮‍💨

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

True, Rebecca! I don't remember for sure, but I don't think the car in the commercial was electric because it was so far back, but maybe. :-)

[@garybrunet6346]

Thank Paul! Always enjoy your lesson and song!🙏❤️🇨🇦

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

I appreciate it, Gary! Thanks for always watching and commenting!

[@beckywilson9443]

Good morning! That was a good one! Of course I always think of Rudolph when I hear the name Gene Autry! My Dad is 92 and he still watches Gene Autry cowboy movies! Have a great day!

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Thanks, Becky. Seems like Gene was a great man in real life, not just on camera. I saw him say that he never wanted to sing Rudolph and had to be talked into it. Little did he know that it would be one of the biggest songs of his career and one of the biggest Christmas songs of all time. He said that the proceeds from that song helped him purchase the California Angels. :-)

[@beckywilson9443]

@BlindPigAndTheAcorn wow! Who knew?! Lol

[@shesingsalldaylong8737]

Thank you for the music Paul. ☺️

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Thank you for taking a break from your own singing to watch! :-)

[@papaw5405]

Smiley Burnette had that break in his voice that reminded you of a 13 year old boy, only Smiley had control of it and made a living off it.

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Yes, he did. Helped make his character! Lots of the old western stars had voices so distinctive, that you could recognize them just from their speech without even seeing them. :-)

[@ixchelkali]

Back in the '70s, I used to square dance to that. Our club's caller had a great voice. The problem with learning a song that way, though, is that I only know every 4th line or so, in between calls. 😄 I like country and western from the 1940s, especially the western part. I watched a lot of those singing cowboy serials as a kid.

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Very cool! Country music was once referred to as "Country & Western" for good reason! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@DrivinAndSingin]

I couldn't figure out why this song seemed so familiar to me, so I looked it up on KZbin and realized that I had heard it when my dad played his Hank Willuams records. Thanks for the memory! I'll have to give my dad a call and ask him if he has listened to Hank lately. 😊

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I'll have to search for Hank singing it! I never knew he sang it, but Hank was very tight with Fred Rose (one of the authors of this song), so it wouldn't surprise me one bit. I bet Hank sang it really lonesome!

[@noahcount7132]

It pleases me no end, Paul, that you're covering this Gene Autry song. I've never been a fan of Gene's "acting" or his voice, so it is a genuine treat to hear it sung in your far more enjoyable voice. 👍👍

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Thanks, Noah. For his time, Gene was a very good singer, but I think I know where you're coming from. :-)

[@normatavernier1822]

Wow, this is beautiful. If there were mistakes, I didn't hear them. I think I remember seeing that commercial you were talking about too. Thanks so much for sharing, Paul.👏👏👏

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Thanks, Norma! Wish I could find that commercial. For about a year, it ran very frequently, probably till it was released with the next marketing campaign. Whoever made the commercial must have held a wide range of musical knowledge because they picked the perfect song for the commercial's concept. :-)

[@darlacarter441]

I couldn’t hardly wait to see you on another video today 🌞👏🏻👏🏻I enjoy it so much❣️

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Wow! Thanks so much, Darla!

[@judywells7801]

I really enjoyed your music this morning. It’s great to hear the old songs!

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Thanks, Judy. They don't make 'em like that anymore!

[@SueMorris-f4s]

I love to hear you sing and play. ❤ Give Granny a hug from me.❤

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Thank you, Sue! I sure will. :-)

[@jimmymalone3494]

Thank you Paul i enjoyed the song and music.God Bless y'all.

Thanks, Jimmy! Glad you liked it. God bless you all too!

[@bacababy69]

Omg thank you so much that song was my grandma’s favorite I still have her 78 rpm copy the commercial was new dodge aspin never need gas makes gas attendants cry

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

That's so cool! Thank you for sharing that! It is a really good song. I'm going right now to search for that Dodge commercial! :-)

[@mediumjumbo7484]

That was some mighty fine pickin an a singin 😊👍🎸🎶🇺🇸

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Thanks a bunch! :-)

[@lindabuchanan1185]

You sure are a pleasure to listen to. Thank you Paul. 🎙

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Thank you, Tony! I really appreciate it! Thanks for listening!

[@CelebratingFarmLife]

Love hearing you sing all the old songs!

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Thanks so much! Works out for both of us, because I love to sing them. :-)

[@NormanChester882]

Good morning Paul, God bless you very much, my dad was a Gene Autry fan, he like the movies he was in, he said the Indians didn't mess with you Gene Autry, the tone of guitar is great today, you always sing well, my pride has destroy some relationships too

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Thanks, Norman! Gene was a national treasure. Yes, pride never generates the good results that can be generated by humility! God bless you and thanks for watching and commenting!

[@NormanChester882]

@BlindPigAndTheAcorn God bless Granny Wilson

I so enjoyed this song this morning! It is so nice that you tell a bit of history with each song. Thank you, Paul!

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Thanks a bunch, Lori! Glad you liked it.

[@earlelfrink]

Wow, that sure enough had the 40's tone and sound. well done!!

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Thank you, Earl! So glad you liked it. :-)

[@chattan3018]

I think it's good you tell all the stories about the songs you sing. I could just see that little bobble head bouncing as you told about the ad you heard it on. Another good song to enjoy.

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Thank you for watching and commenting! I'm glad you enjoy the music and the commentary. It really was a cute car commercial. Too bad I can't find it. Maybe someone will upload it to KZbin eventually. I might stumble upon it on an old VHS or something one day, but I was usually pretty quick with the remote to pause recording during the commercials. :-)

[@donnakirk7455]

Great music as always. Thanks, Paul, for sharing your talent.

Thank you, Glenda!

[@jackieellenbarnes1268]

Didn’t notice any Mistakes 😊

[@Esme0285]

Dear Paul, I loved your version of this song including mistakes isn’t that why they put erasers on pencils right?👍😊 What stood out to me as well, was the last verse about pride! false pride will always be our demise. Your renditions of these 1940’s songs are beautiful. Keep up the great work. It genuinely brings warmth and joy to my heart. Warmly, Esme’♥️🌟 God bless you Paul for spreading the love!🌟♥️

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Esme, so glad you liked it. The music of the 40's was really good stuff. The style holds up well today. Thanks for always watching and commenting.

[@kevindevine5102]

thanks

[@monicataylor1313]

Always look forward to seeing your posts. This was a good one. Caught a glimpse of you on the girls channel when they were sledding. 😊 looked fun was wondering if you'd take a trip down. I don't blame you though lol. I live where there is a ton of snow I just don't like being cold. I'm more of a spring and summer gal. 😊❤

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Thanks, Monica. Believe me, I was tempted to hop on a sled and fly down the hill. I've been taking PT for my knees for several weeks, and I was afraid that one slip might cause a setback and I would lose the progress I've made. Lord willing, I can join them next year. I definitely prefer warm weather, but I do like a little snow now and then. Can be beautiful, peaceful, and fun.

[@kevinramsey3490]

Awesome Mr. Paul

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Thank you very much, Kevin!

[@kevinramsey3490]

@BlindPigAndTheAcorn Mr. Paul, I'm listening to the Marty Robbins Gunfighter Ballads. I'm thinking of you doing Mr. Shorty....hint....hint!😉 Something kinda weird though, the original one that I've literally almost worn out has Mr. Shorty on it. I bought another CD, the same Gunfighter Ballads. The second one doesn't have Mr. Shorty on it. Since, I stream mostly now, it's not a big deal because I can listen to the original. I remember being upset when I got the second one without the Mr. Shorty. You could remake that whole album with your voice and style. You're one of the few people I've heard that has that ability. Since I'm taking up your time when you probably have a lot of things to do than listening to me ramble, I apologize. I've said mostly to my wife because she's about the only person I can hem up to listen to me that besides Elvis, I think maybe Darius Rucker is the only "commercial" artist that can cross seamlessly between all the genres of music. I mean Rock, Country, and Gospel. Btw, Rock to me is when you can understand what they're saying and it not being nasty and such. I really like Hank Jr and Waylon but I'm a little iffy on everything with them. I keep thinking maybe Chris Stapleton but I'm not quite sure. Sorry to take up your time. Please keep playing like you are. We all appreciate you so much.

[@edieparastatides9403]

You sing it best, Paul!!

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Wow, thanks, Edie!

[@taurusman67]

Love Your singing and picking Wish i could have seen the chords you were using......Peter

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Thanks, Peter. Sorry about that. I get so focused on making sure that I'm close enough to the mic that I sometimes let the neck of the guitar slip out of frame. The only chords in this song are D major, G major, and A major. The very first change is from D to G, then from G to A, then back to D. That same pattern of changes repeats over and over. Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any specific questions about where/when to change. :-)

[@taurusman67]

@@BlindPigAndTheAcorn Thank You....Peter

[@osmadchlo]

I enjoyed it, Paul! You going to do a little Creedence for us one day?

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Thanks! Glad you liked it! You know, I might just do that! :-) I used to love to sing and play Bad Moon. Maybe I could get some other pickers/singers to help me and do Down on the Corner. 🤔

[@osmadchlo]

That would be pretty cool!

[@deborahgross1045]

Hi Mr. Paul. I really enjoyed your performance. Have you ever done Hank Williams Sr. I'm so lonesome I could cry? Bet ya have and I missed it. Any way I enjoyed your picking and singing.

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Thanks, Deborah! No, I haven't done any videos of that song nor even sung it much, but I sure do like it. It's a masterpiece, in my opinion. Maybe one year I can do it on Hank's birthday!

[@grekiely6245]

G'day Paul, thanks Mate. I have a few of Gene's vinyls and CDs, but not heard that track. As for the "mistakes" if I could play like that, I'd be "stoked" Question, please, what are you playing there? It has a nice tone

[@margaretgarner853]

Paul, There is an old song called Loose Talk. Could you listen to it some time and see if you like it?

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Thanks, Margaret. Sounds interesting. I'll see if I can find it and check it out.
