  3. "Welcome to My World" is a #popularMusicStandard written by Ray Winkler and John Hathcock and recorded by many artists, most notably #JimReeves. Eddie McDuff likely contributed to the melody. A traditional love song, the bridge includes lyrics taken from #Matthew778 ("Knock and the door will open; seek and you will find; ask and you'll be given ... ," from the #SermonOnTheMount).

    Tunes from the distant past fit this category to a tee. Back when racism was simply shrugged off, one can find tunes that are quite the earworm. The words are horrific. Two cases in point: "In The Caribbean" #JimReeves and "Bill Simmons" #ArthurCollins .
  7. The most unexpected and excellent thing I have heard for many years - Jim Reeves reading Edgar Allan Poe's Anabel Lee from his 1961 LP Talkin to Your Heart.
