30-Day Music Challenge: Day 29


29. A song that you remember from your childhood.

My poor dad! He had a voice like Jimmy Martin's. He wanted to be Eddy Arnold.

To this day, I prefer Jimmy Martin, but there's something magical about this song, which my dad had the good sense to never attempt.

When I was in high school, we went on a church retreat of sorts to Squaw Valley. While we were there, we saw Eddy Arnold at Harrah's in Lake Tahoe (We were clearly not Baptists), with some neighbors who had moved to Sparks, Nevada years before. Naturally, Arnold sang this song. It was as evocative as I remembered.

This is Eddy Arnold with "Cattle Call".
