Your voice really reflects the weariness of the lyrics. Very effective. (Are you still off the cigs?) I've been vaguely aware of this song, but I did not know the history. Thanks for the prompt to learn the history.

"Hard Times Come Again No More" (sometimes, "Hard Times") is an American parlor song written by Stephen Foster. It was published in New York by Firth, Pond & Co. in 1854 as Foster's Melodies No. 28. Well-known and popular in its day, both in America and Europe, the song asks the fortunate to consider the plight of the less fortunate...

Released seven years before the American Civil War, it gained great popularity during that conflict as an expression of suffering and hardship...

I also had to look up Wunnumin Lake. You are in the boonies!

You've been on this site about as long as I have, but I'm pretty sure this is the first song of yours I've heard or commented on, guitar_on_bakk. Can that be true? Apologies for neglecting you.

You need to post more often! For now, I'll check out your jukebox and do a little catching up.
