Hi guys,
I thought that with this country fest I would pick some songs that would mean something to me.
The Hank Williams one I did  was for my dad ,this one is for my mum.
Although willie Nelson wrote it, its the patsy cline version I remember my mum singing.
She would stand in our tenement  flat and look out the window while she done the dishes and sing like
a songbird.
Now I know there is already a beautiful version of this but
 I couldnt deviate from my original train of thought.
Furthermore I was propelled into action by the advice of a fellow songcrafter which was really nice.
I was going to put guitars and drums etc on it but when I listened back I like the intimacy  of just the piano.
Theres a string effect doubled up with it from my piano.
Im no virtuoso but its from my heart.
A kind of message to float  out there to my mum.
Hope you like it.
Hope you like it.
Please note this is a tribute to the artist and the construction of the song for songcrafting purposes and not intended for any monetary gain..

I'd like to think it's reached your mum too and she's got it on repeat with a huge smile on her face and very proud of her boy.

So lovely!

Lovely Kenny, quite lovely. I am sure your mum would be very proud, and rightly so. The combo of (mainly) piano and vox works very well, and you handled both beautifully. A great version and a wonderful listen.

Lovely! I love the story behind it, and the way you've kept the song bare works wonders. It's a heartfelt performance.
