The song itself is amazing, but the video - w/ the paintings makes it even more so.

Great piece. I once sang it in church as a special music performance.

Thank-you. That was awesome. True Story: I grew up in a very blue color area of the Hudson Valley in NY. In 1970 (or it could have been 1969 or 1971), a neighbor held a “welcome home” party for his son, who had been wounded (punji stick) in Viet Nam. He invited everyone in the community. And sitting on a high-top chair between the food and alcohol, there was a guy with a guitar and great voice named “Don McLean.” I was around age eleven. I would be lying if I said he played an early version of “American Pie” or “Stormy, Stormy Night,” but I later learned that this was the real Don McLean. Apparently he and my neighbor’s son crossed paths and connected, and so, Don McLean played at his Viet Nam homecoming.

That must have been on the flip side of American pie since I know that song so well

Beautiful song, of which Don McLean had several.
