What's your opinion on Jim Reeves?

[Bbbananas]

Distant Drums is on the radio - reminds me of when I was a child & dad used to play Jim Reeves records. And whatever my dad loved, then I loved. Bimbo where's your little daddy-o, I Love You Because and I Won't Forget You..... pure nostalgia.

I didn't quite realise the poignancy at the time though, of dad playing "He'll Have To Go" to my mother - at the time she was having it away with the primary school headmaster. I think that was his way of letting my mother know her secret wasn't so secret.....

Harmless enough. I more or less grew up with him as my Mum used to play his records all the time.

My Mum always loved Jim Reeves and Vic Damone. I have always had a secret love of Yonder Comes a Sucker. Bit of a rip-roarer for Reeves!

awwwww salla , like you I was bought up on Jim Reeves songs, with a smattering of Slim Whitman , Don Williams and a few others, all melancholy but beautiful all the same x
