Tennessee Waltz

[@xcicilyx]

in the 1950s, we had a 78 rpm recording of the tennessee waltz. my poor dad made the mistake one day of remarking that it was his favorite song. from then on, my little sister and i would queue it up every single day and play it when he walked in the door after work. he must have been so sorry he had opened his mouth. RIP dad.

[@mphysic01]

I'm 45 years old. This was one of the songs my grandmother use to sing to me when I was a kid. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for keeping this in the general spirit of the original song while at the same time interpreting it in your own style. In my own humble opinion, for whatever it's worth, I found this a fitting tribute to Hank's original. Thanks.

[@maplebones]

If you mean Hank Williams, I think you're mistaken. The song was written and first released in 1948 by the Golden West Cowboys. In 1950 Patti Page had a monster hit with it and it became her signature song. She double tracked her vocals and the girls harmonizing is hauntingly reminiscent. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee_Waltz

[@lamars2486]

@marco7858 it was that way for my mother as well. It was a chance meeting, these two women were on their way to Gatlinburg. It was in a restaurant. We struck up a conversation, and out of the blue, I mentioned the song. They both turned to me and then each other and gawked and laffed. Then the one woman said, the writer was her brother (or both of them were sisters), and they told me some personal information about the inspiration for the lyrics. It's funny how some THING can inspire a song. Songs to me are like poetry, personal and different at different points in your life. It's what's between the lines that we individually fill in. I think I almost know what the song meant to my mother. But the song to her I think is different than the original writers "muse." I will say, its patty pages version that I think is "the magic one." So when she crafted it is the period in which it enchanted my mother. Wish I could tell you more, but those ladies had an intimate conversation with me. I could see it in their eyes, them going back to that time period from a personally deep perspective. And I honor their trust in the "stranger" in a chance meeting in time. What does that song invoke in you?
