I also have enjoyed watching some of the YouTube videos but I'm not really addicted to them. Trying to not be too taken over by the computer age. Just listened to a old song sung by Diana Shore and had to smile as it brought memories back of my Mom and Dad and growing up years. It's called Dear Hearts and Gentle People. Love this poem too. Keep up the memories.
Yesm Kathy, Our parents loved music and song, loving to dance. Memories so precious! !
Dina Shore was one of my favorites, too, back in the day. I remember that song very well.
You Tube is quite special for music of the road. You hint at a poetic lifestyle in, ''Their gypsy/ Life on the road'.
My comment was too large and I had to take off the last sentence, which was: I don't use You-Tube often, but I go to a site called 'Video Jukebox' where I can find a lot of old songs.
I remember those two songs. Great ones! One of my favorites from the old days was C. W. McCall and 'Wolf Creek Pass'. Also, his song 'Convoy' was a good one. I also loved 'The Preacher and the Bear' by Jerry Reed and 'Sixteen Tons' by Tennessee Ernie Ford from even earlier, and of course I loved The Sons of the Pioneers with 'Cool Water', 'Tumbling Tumbleweeds' and 'Ghost Riders in the Sky'.
If you are a You-Tube junkie and you like cowboy songs, go to You-Tube and find the video called " The Last Cowboy Song" by Ed Bruce and Willie Nelson. After that, go read my poem " The Last Cowboy" . (The video inspired my poem.) Thanks, Hank.
