Addy, when my wife and I lived in New Orleans, we used to go to a bar in a hotel (can't remember the name now but I remembered the guy who sang this song and played the piano. This was around 1967 Jimmy Elledge died in 1969. I thought he had originated this song but I was wrong. It's a Willie Nelson

Elledge was a better entertainer than a singer. He was as gay as a maypole and really got into the music. At the time, I thought this was his song. He sang it every night, several times. I didn't know he had died until a few years ago when I got curious and looked him up on the net.I didn't know Willie Nelson did the original, thanks for the info. It always amazes me how Willie Nelson can make almost any song sound great.
Elledge's version, It sounded fair... not that appealing after listening to the some of the others. IMO. Some of these oldies still have the appeal they did back then (the olden days), at least to me they do. Here's Willie's version.
I always liked this song. Didn't this guy used to bed down with Linda Ronstadt?I agree, Jack... those musical oldies or the pop culture scene from our yesteryears are fun to revisit. Our computer technology these days allows us to do that w/o any hassle.
Here's another oldie... still being played.
Chi migwetch.So did I, Jack. It's a pretty neat song. I don't know if the guy dated LInda or not, it's a possibility.
Three versions of El Condor Pasa… I like all three.
Sigue soñando. Ella es hermosa.Ojala pudier llevarla a casa conmigo para ser mio siempre.
Chi migwetch.
The sound of the cedar flute, with someone who knows how to play it, sends chills up my spine.
It's actually soothing to me.De nada.
La flauta hace una melodía inquietant
