[@merenaa.2746]

I discovered this through a 1920's piano book my grandma gave me. Thank you for keeping these forgotten songs alive.

[@denismack2374]

Fantastic version, sir. You are a truly talented musician. Thank you for keeping this great piece of Americana alive. I respect your music and love the fact that you are keeping the music of that great American composer, Stephen Foster, alive. This music is a great part of our American heritage.

[@MusicOfTomRoush]

Thanks, Denis!!

[@natalya6091]

Dear Tom, thank you very much. You' ve made our day. Greetings from Moscow Russia! 🇺🇸🇷🇺

I'd say this is more country than most modern country, and this was before country music

[@determineddylan8793]

SouthernGhost 1865 country music came out of this music, so I easily consider this type of music country music. But to me, today’s country music isn’t country music.

[@printerudell3604]

I haven't heard this song in over sixty years. It still brings me to tears.

[@musclecity]

We used to sing this in elementary school! Nice to hear it again.

Dear Tom, Thanks so much for your uplifting version of this song!🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@tommyvolinchak5518]

A favorite song of my childhood. I played it on accordion and sang it for my Dad one Christmas. It has always brought a tear to my eye. All the beautiful dogs I have had. Thanks God, thanks Dad, and thanks for posting this great song. PS- I once had a beautiful college male chorus version on a 33 LP. I wish I know who that group was. Amazing stuff.

[@kevinkelly1586]

Haven't heard this song in 50 years!

[@charliechats9910]

Beautiful hearing "Old Dog Tray!" again. Wasn't there another verse, "he died at my feet on a cold winter's day, And I played a lament for my old dog, Tray" ? Maybe I'm wrong. Many years since I first heard this lovely old song. Charlie, Aberdeen, Scotland

[@johnjurkewicz9925]

[@natalya6091]

[@rayunseitig6367]

[@patlong8240]

Love it. Love having all the words, so I can sing along with you. :-) This is a tribute to every dog we've ever loved. Thanks! Oh, and thanks to Mr. Foster too.

[@argee36]

I hope you keep posting more of these wonderful old songs. You perform them very well.

[@MA_808]

Never forget that a dog is the only being who will willingly sacrifice their life for yours.

[@susangrossman8431]

I just learned that Tom passed in 2021 from a lengthy illness following a fall which resulted in head injuries. RIP

[@dguy0386]

without a doubt the best singer of pre recorded music I've ever heard! RIP Tom.
