Hello, 'Ghostgum'...

Ever since I first heard Patti Page sing the 'Tennessee Waltz', I have always felt that there was something delicate and bittersweet about country waltzes. Your song had plenty of those virtues. The lyrics couldn't be more descriptive of a particular place and time as they summon the sad nostalgia of inevitable parting. Your singing is as melodic and expressive as the nylon string guitar you performed on. The key change felt like a sudden, final surge of hope that died out slowly as the narrator contemplated the fateful situation.

This is 'one from the heart', I'm sure!
