Notes & History
My Mom Played this Song After my Dad Died
by JoAnn Tovar (not verified), 04/18/2021 - 21:03I was about 7 or 8 when my mom played this record over and over. I never asked her why she was crying. I suppose having lost her husband a short time before, was part of the reason. My mom died in August 2020, and I would ask her about this song, but she couldn't remember it. Well, I found it in my brother's possession. I'm so glad he has it. I need to have my own record.
