I miss him.God bless you Tom.RIP🙏🙌🙏
I just discovered Tom's recordings of classic American songs just a couple of months ago. Very sad to find out he passed away, last year I think.
Great job Tom ,we miss you.
Dear Tom, thank you so much!!!
Be happy.
The children love this song! A really beautiful rendition.
Tom, you channeled S.Foster. It's the only reasonable explanation of the beauty, sweetness and deep emotional feeling his music and lyrics. No other singer comes even closer to you.
Reminds me of one of my my uncles who would sing this to my mother Jean😊
Great version Tom...Martin from Killiney Dublin Ireland. Love your version too of Oh Susanna
This is the Stephen Foster's song with the most beautiful melody. Thanks for uploading!
Harry Zhang It definitely is!
The first time I saw the sheet music to this I was about 3 years old and I'm now 55! This is the first time in my life that someone performed this song the way the composer MEANT for it to be performed! Great job!!
Thank you!
Stephen Foster (1826 - 1864)
Known as "The Father of American Music" 🇺🇸
Absolutely beautiful
This song has a sadness to it when you realize he wrote it about his estranged wife at the time,Janie
Beautiful poetic lyrics ( floating like a vapor on the soft summer air)
masterpiece
Such a beautiful melody!
Probably the most authentic rendering of this song since it was originally sung in Foster's day. I have not heard it done so well. Thanks for this upload!
Thanks, Jk!!!!
Great Job! Thanks for keeping our Historical Music alive! Can you do “You Are My Sunshine?”
Yes, it's my favorite too. My grandfather called me Jeanie all the time. Sometimes he'd add, Jeanie with the light brown hair. I was 13 when he died but I took special interest in this song, because of him. Aw, how I loved it! I researched Stephen Foster a lot. I watched old movies about him, listened all his songs on whatever I could find them on. In the 60's that wasn't easy! So I checked out books with his compositions in them from the library.
I developed a lifelong appreciation for this talented man.
Music wasn't a so called, 'business' during his time. He laid the groundwork for songwriters that came after him.
He tuned in to the world he knew. His melodies and lyrics are timeless!
His work is poetry put to music.
I must add that you have the best recording of Foster's songs that I've heard! Are you playing that beautiful piano? It's all just wonderful! Thanks for all the time and work you have put into these recordings for our enjoyment!
Jane: I'm playing all of the instruments in this recording. Thanks! - Tom

"Borne like a vapor on the soft summer air" 🌤 I'm hearing this song like I've never heard before
Wonderful soothing music so different from today’s trash. Beautiful-enjoy it daily!
If u want extra info on his life go watch the anime version its called Jeanie with the light brown hair girl unfortunately there isn’t an English dubbed version so we should have to wait also the owner said that they’re are working on a season 2 it’s a must watch anime u won’t regret it just search it on TH-cam and watch them Japanese version with captions on so u could understand it in English hope u have fun
I don’t wanna comment too much as I’ve been doing lately but thank you for uploading this, I’ve been hoping for this song for a while.
Your welcome!
Wow, Tom, you always do such an excellent job of these!

Bravo 👏👏
Thanks!
I dream of Brownie with the light blue jeans!!
Very nice Tom. My middle name.......
Thanks, Karen!!
I would like to point out about the anime that I suggested to you.throughout the story u will notice many of Stephen foster songs like Jeanie with the light brown hair,oh susanna,beautiful dreamer,old folks at home,camptown races,my old Kentucky home,old black joe,Nelly was a lady,Nelly Bly,old dog tray,Hard Times Come Again No More,and etc.also the ending is a bit confusing but don’t worry I will explain it to you.billy and his band doesn’t leave Jeanie and Stephen,in fact they were heading to New York together to make songs together and dr Jason came with them to be a teacher for Jeanie in learning to be a doctor,and mrs.Conrad,and the children started to head to Pittsburg, Lawrenceville,so there u go
He could write some great lyrics as well.
Sung perhaps as it would have been in the time of Stephen Foster
Great song...please listen to Sam Cooke version
Omg this is so weird one of the characters in the story that i am writing has this name. the reason i came here was because i was trying to hear songs from the 1800s and before that time too

I dream of Brownie with the light blue jeans. 😂

인가요?♡William foste r ,known as the father of American music
Stephen Foster, you mean
You know, the traditional British pronunciation of "again" is like "a gain". Am I the only one that Foster intended it to be pronounced like that, because it rhymes with "rain"?
Ahem...A request for your sponsor? STOP sticking that sickening toe fungus photo in my face! Some of us are eating, ya know?
