Cool song but, like, what I really came here for was to hear the squirrel confusing the kid who memorized his shopping list by repeating "peanuts and pecans"!
Hey, John, thanks for the defense. Occasionally, I respond to the negatives. I had one guy who would trash my videos and then go on a rampage and rate a whole pile of my videos with ones (kinda' hurts the average...) but most of these inane comments, from thirteen year olds and such, I let them slide. As I said, though, I do appreciate it when someone else engages the trash talkers.
Besides, it gave me a chance to see your site. Lots of fun and informative vids.
I spent many a joyful summer of my youth in Laguna. In fact, my song, "Goodbye, Pullman, Lullabye" found on my MySpace site, was written while laying on the beach at Crescent Bay. The lyrics were pretty much completed by the time I got back up to the house on St. Ann's and found myself a tune for it.
Why? Is it because this is music that you're not familiar with? America has an enormous history of classic folk music that previous generations have enjoyed before there was electricity. People have always enjoyed music. Once something is good it's always good.
Good point and historically accurate, although "lover" was also used for unmarried liasons (even those who had not consummated their affair). Notice at the end of this version, after they arrive in California, they "got married"... and then got a divorce, so my interpretation may be justified, but I really just made the aside for comedic effect. Thanks for listening and thanks for the comment.

"Pecans and peanuts,
and pecans and peanuts,
and pecans and peanuts...
and there is nothing more
that I have to buy at the grocery store."

I love this! I wish schools would integrate curriculum and use more folk songs to teach music and history. Well done!

Great song, painful performance, espescially after interminable intro.
written in Placerville

"Lover" at that time often meant newlyweds.
Great performance otherwise!
