I am just a bit obsessed with that song right now; that is to say, I want to play it all the time...

I love the way he sings it - it's the very sound of heartbreak. Makes me want to cry.

Anybody else got some love for this song?

For those who do not know the song (you should )

Yeah, most songs with a 3/4 time signature are heartbreakers.

and since we're talkin' bout the blues.

I was invited by my daughter's teacher to do a song for her class of French four-year-olds. I think I'm going to do "Goodnight Irene" instead of a nursery rhyme because they can sing along for most of the chorus, anyway.

The lilting, sentimental waltz; so old-fashioned, in the best of ways.

I love that youtube is out there, to expose the youngsters to the American's musical heritage... very inspiring.
