GUEST,Kathy Miner Origins:Trying to please radio listener-Tom & Rose (4) RE: Origins: Trying to please a radio listener 29 Dec 20


Hello out there in Mudcat Land, I'm a volunteer for our folk music program on Wisconsin Public Radio. We got the following request from a longtime listener. I've searched your database, and every other one I commonly use, with no results. Ring any bells??

"Not sure of title: 'Tom and Rose'? I heard this on the radio about 25 years ago and haven't been able to find it online anywhere. It was sung by a solo male tenor/baritone singer with guitar accompaniment, which I know hardly narrows it down at all. The song had several verses, talking about the couple's life together; nothing dramatic happens in it. I've sung the chorus to my wife of 23 years on occasion and would just like to hear it again if possible, but I will not be heartbroken if you don't find it. Thank you for your effort.'
The chorus is:

    You are my heart's delight,
    My sun, my moon, my stars at night;
    I will love you all my life
    Until my dying day."

Thanks for any information you might have. I suspect it's someone local to Wisconsin, or else the greatest one-hit wonder in folk music. I would just love to be able to get back to the listener with the name of the song and artist.

Peace and tranquility be ours in 2021,
Kathy
