Thread Name: Why is a singer one of your favorites?
Subject: RE: Why is a singer one of your favorites?
I know what you mean about those two, Ebbie! I agree! And from Tommy's website,

" Tommy Sands has achieved that difficult but wonderful balance
between knowing and loving the traditions of his home and being
concerned with the future of the whole world ....PETE SEEGER

Kendall, I do believe that Tommy Sands and Pete Seeger recorded "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?"

I know some who'd say it's been overdone, but I agree with you, Kendall, about "Blowin In the Wind." I'm asked to sing that from time to time at my regular gig, and I'm always a little hesitant because it's been done so much, but it is still a very powerful song, perhaps even moreso now than it was back when it was written. As I watch the faces of those in the audience, I see a variety of expressions....... "a stroll down memory lane," or a pensive expression and a shaking of the head in response to the question, "How many times?" ...or just pure enjoyment at hearing it and being able to sing along. For whatever reasons they bring, they seem to love it.
