this is the closest hank snow ever got to recording a RAB record. i've always liked this, i have an original 45 of it and also a flexi promo 78. [wurlitzer1450]
Hank Snow,an awsome talent ! I love this song.Charlie "Peanut" Faicloth was a co-writer (words and Music),with Cordia Volkmar. The sheet music shows their names above the name of Hank Snow,and copyright 1953 by Ernest Tubb Music,Inc.,Beverly Hills ,Calif. Peanut was a dear friend and on a visit to his home a couple years back he shared the music and story with me.He went to his eternal home with the Lord in this past march. Thanks for the verycoolsound !
My dad, Charlie Faircloth, wrote this song, along with many other country, bluegrass, and novelty songs over a long music career. He died last March at age 82. It's bittersweet to hear it again as we approach our first Christmas without him. Thanks for posting it.
