Remembering the Year 1953

Keyboard players are always interested in what styles are used in my songs. For the song ‘Via Con Dios” I used a custom style I created on my Yamaha Tyros 5 keyboard. For the song “Your Cheatin Heart” I used the country style Country Shuffle. For the song “How Much Is that Doggie in the Window ?” I used the Ballroom Vocal Waltz.
I make these year in review TH-cams for my fellow "Silent Generation"...those of us born between 1928 and 1945. Many older people, like me, enjoy them, because so far 596,000 have watched them, and I've received over 3,000 comments from all over the world. It has been a surprise to me to receive comments from hundreds on non-Americans who still relate to my videos and still love the old songs I sing.

Maybe the Hindus and the Buddhists are right, and there IS reincarnation.

Wow, this is one of the best videos I've seen. What a joy it is to see this tribute to the year 1953, which happens to be my birth year. Seeing this today was made even more special since today happens to be my birthday. Interesting that you mentioned the computer programming course. My first computer course was also in FORTRAN, and we created our key punch cards. Also interesting that you mentioned From Here To Eternity. The book, of course, was written by author James Jones, and his boyhood home was right down the street from where I grew up in the town of Robinson, IL. I loved the performance of your three songs, and you have a cute little dog, and beautiful pictures of you and your wife. Again, this was a very special video for me.
