I usually hate getting songs stuck in my head. I just had a very odd one that popped in though. It is from one of my grandmother’s player piano reels. Thanks to Google and the whole internet thing i was able to find out the artist, title, year, and even a free mp3 to download. It was “The Farmer Took Another Load Away” by Billy Jones and Ernest Hare performed in 1925. The mp3 that i have linked here isn’t quite the one we played on the piano but it was close enough to dredge up the memories of my brother, sister, and i sitting on the bench, pumping the pedals, and singing with grandma. This is a good place for me to start with my plan to provide a new free mp3 every week so that my posts are not all about the stuff i’m making.
