  2. "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 .
  6. #OnThisDay in 1923, #JimReeves, American country singer ("He'll Have To Go"; "Distant Drums"), and actor (Kimberley Jim), born in Panola County, Texas (d. 1964).

  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.

  8. youtu.be/8acGK5lPhzA When I was still a toddler, my parents bought dairy goats. They gave a baby goat to me, and I named her Bimbo because of this song. Our goats were show goats, and Bimbo’s mother Heidi won all sorts of prizes. Grand prize for milk goats, maybe best of breed, and I don’t remember what else. She was just always covered with ribbons. My little goat Bimbo won a prize, too, and I remember taking her around to everyone because I was so proud. Everyone smiled and laughed when I approached them.

    I didn’t find out until years later that her prize was for worst in show.

    She was a great little goat. I’m glad I got to run around everywhere with her following me around. #goats #ShowAnimals #DairyGoat #JimReeves #memories
