This was an incredible post. I loved it and appreciated it more than u will ever imagine. I’m a huge fan of ballads. I grew up with a dad who loved the Vaughn Monroe version of Ghost Riders in the Sky. I like it better than any other. When we were stationed at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, my teen daughter was friends with the granddaughter of Vaughn Monroe. Her mother had his gold records mounted on a wall in their quarters.

My dad’s other favorite was a song called Cool Water……followed closely by The Hanging Tree. My own children grew up hearing that music.

Thank you for the post. Happy New Year.

“My dad’s other favorite was a song called Cool Water”

Sure, a classic

You’re very welcome. It was a strange coincidence that I just happened to turn on the tv at that moment. Gave me goosebumps.

Happy New Year to you and your family
