[dcab-l] Belated Father's Day, 2022: "That Silver-Haired Daddy Of Mine"

Songwriters & Music Lovers:

 

For Father’s Day 2022, here is a live version of "That Silver-Haired Daddy Of Mine",

Gene Autry & Jimmy Long’s 1935 hit;  it was the first hit song of American cowboy

entertainer Gene Autry.  The 1931 single achieved greatest popularity in 1935 on

Vocalion, selling 5 million copies.  It was featured in the 1935 Western films Tumbling

Tumbleweeds  and The Phantom Empire.

 

The song was covered by The Everly Brothers on their 1958 album Songs Our

Daddy Taught Us  and also by Simon & Garfunkel on their albums Old Friends

and Live 1969.

 

I self-recorded this with Peter Sittner on bass, and flat picked the solos on my Martin

Marquis, real time.
