Thread Name: Cheerful tunes mismatch to serious songs
Subject: RE: Cheerful tunes mismatch to serious songs
Does anyone remember Don Reno and Red Smiley? They were some of my favorite performers back in the 50s and 60s.
However, they had a serious mismatch in one of their songs. The tune is perky and fast, the title of the song is 'The Lord's Last Supper'.
The chorus goes:
He knew the time had come when he'd die to free the world
The world he loved so lost in sin
The blessed promise that he left for you and me
I go but soon I'll come again.
We play it only as an instrumental. Good guitar picking tune. :)
