GUEST,Phil d'Conch Songs about circus performers, fairs, carnivals (59* d) RE: Songs - Circus/Show/Fetes Characters/Themes 17 Jan 17


Just gave Willie Nelson's Red Headed Stranger album a listen through again and was admiring his take on an old American circus/carnival instrumental standard, Juventino Rosas' Sobre las Ola (Over the Waves):

YT: Willie Nelson - O'er the Waves

Here's Nashville version:
YT: Chet Atkins - Over The Waves

On the album it's followed by Bobbie Nelson's cover of L. Wolfe Gilbert's Down Yonder (another Texas keyboard favorite); a nice turn-of-the-century leitmotif.
