      My great great grandpa wrote the lyrics to this song. Mr. Barton. I have the original lyrics and the recording of the country artist who made the original recording. I have to look up his name. This is a nice thought on the original story. I have the St. Louis Post dispatch article. And a picture of my great great grandpa. He was a minister. That was a big story back then. An unwed mother was a great shame back in that time. My surname is Black. My relatives were from Black, Missouri in the Ozarks. Steve Martin can really play that banjo. I have always loved that instrument. Anyway, it’s a small world.

    My great uncle was who found him
    My Mom always comforted me with song. Still makes me cry. Thanks so much y'all. I'm from Ironton Missouri and had a tough time this and other works of your life have helped me through this life.

      I saw the play yesterday, and I had to know the rest of the story. Not a fairy tale, but a life lived, nonetheless.

    Superb musicians and while I always liked Edie and Steve's other projects - this is my favorite. Its just the perfect amount and combination of everything. The bass player brings it all home - his touch and sound really adds that perfect "extra something".

    You know, I just realized, you almost never see Steve Martin laugh. He's so serious and professional about making others laugh. But here, he did crack up a bit after he said, "Ahh.. yay... here we go." That was awesome.

    • @minggnim
      @minggnim 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's not that he's serious, he's just one of the best straight men in the history of comedy.

    • @persebra
      @persebra 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I believed he was thinking about his wife who gave him a baby when he was 67 around that time, that is why everyone started laughing. I don't know how old his wife was at the time or the circumstances, it could have been a surrogate or she had actually had it.

    Did anyone else wonder if the baby might have been his "love child"? Ultimate mistress revenge=make him raise the kid. nah but I do believe that Edie has the most angelic voice, she could sing the repair manual for a dishwasher and I would still be entranced by the haunting melody her voice.
