Thread Name: Origins: Old Rivers (Walter Brennan recording)
Subject: RE: Walter Brennan's Ol' Rivers
Use our "Help the Mudcat" link on this page and search CDNow for Brennan. You'll find a nice double album for $16. It has about half Christmas stuff, and the rest is a variety of sentimental readings like Old Rivers. Heck, it's even got Edgar A. Guest's "It Takes A Heap Of Living (To Make A House A Home)." It's my dad's favorite poem, and I used to think it was the most maudlin poem ever written. I've grown to like it after many years of having done comic performances of the poem. Poor Dad.
