Exhibit B: Write About Indians

[shanns_ljidol]

Most little girls put themselves into fairy tales and hope that one day they'll find their prince. I put myself into music. I still do. When I couldn't speak, music could do it for me. When I was nine or so I discovered this song on a record that my parents had and I fell in love with the story it told and with Running Bear and Little White Dove.

I can see how that song would have made an impression on a young girl.

[shanns_ljidol]

It did. All these years later and it still makes me tear up and wish for a happy ending.

I remember that song, it was on a record I had when I was a kid in the 70's. I've always had a soft spot for it. Nostalgic entry - thanks!

I adored that record. Apparently several different people sang the song though and I have no idea which version I listened to. I'm glad you had a sof spot for the song and enjoyed the entry.

I've never heard that song before. I will have to look it up before bed. I'm a sucker for fairy tale love stories. ^_^

[shanns_ljidol]

It is quite a love story and I adore the song still.

I had it on a tape called cooky country.
It also had
Mr Custer and the Tennessee bird walk among others.

Awww... that's not a cooky song! Someone had no idea what to put on there! LOL

I love that song so much, I had no idea Tom Jones wrote it, though. Likewise, I can still hear it as plain as day. Lovely entry!

[shanns_ljidol]

Now I don't know who wrote it. It seems that several people covered it. LOL

[mezzogiorno]

Wikipedia informs me that it was The Big Bopper, and that might explain the deeper voice?

[shanns_ljidol]

That or the Tom Jones version may be it.
