Henry Burr - When You And I Were Young, Maggie (1909)

[skiprydell1]

Actually, amazingly well done, even by modern standards....without the overly theatric presentation that was the preference of nineteenth century audiences (and any criticism of that style must take that as its starting point). A great artist.

Great beats nigga

[mothbits]

this is great blow job music

[khoham]

@mothbits this is obscene

[mothbits]

@khoham I'm serious, I love this music that much.

[khoham]

@mothbits i love it too.

[mothbits]

@kampfychair94 I'm 21 actually, and I don't understand what is so immature about what I said. I adore early 20th century music and in my humble opinion its a great tune to fool around to. SO, relax/ xo.

[mothbits]

@kampfychair94 To each their own. I don't expect you nor anyone else to 'understand' my thought process. I like what I like, and I'll say what I please, as for obscene language, I don't consider 'blow job' all that obscene, Trust me I could of said something much more obscene. I think all that matters here is I fucking love early 20th century music, I love Henry Burr, and this song is something I'd play to set a romantic mood. BUT THATS JUST ME. Meowza.

[mothbits]

@kampfychair94 Says who? You, and you are what to me? Nothing. Therefor dear stranger,I don't think I need to censor myself for the likes of prudes on the internet with some kind of authority complex. If I like this music, and you do aswell then why waste your time bitching about my choice of words and expressions, Its not like I'm some jackass who came here and comment about how this music sucks, I'm a lover of this tune. Its our common bond, so get off your high horse you pompous baby.

[mothbits]

@kampfychair94 I don't understand how it was so inappropriate, If anything I believe its flattering to say something of that kind towards a musician/song. I'd personally, take it as a highest honour for someone to consider my art as a piece of material to fornicate to. Redirect your whining elsewhere. xo

[mothbits]

@kampfychair94 You're 17 years old, I take what you say with a grain of salt. You don't even know me and you think you can tell me to 'grow up' Stop trying to push your bullshit down my throat, You are nothing to me let alone a figure of authority or wisdom. I'm all grown up, I have a husband and a daughter dear but nice try. Honestly, You are rather annoying and this conversation has deemed itself rather useless to keep feeding. Take care.

@mothbits What you said was, though perhaps not offensive, could be seen as disgusting depending on who hears it.

Think of it this way - You could have simply said "this is a nice song", but instead you choose a bizarre, less clear way to express your enjoyment. While not a "sin", of the two choices I just presented it certainly was more likely to start trouble and had no obvious benefit to off-set that.

Awesome-Just awesome.

[abetelgeuse]

OH This is sooo awesome thank you  thank you sure brings back wonderful memories to me.

[evelinlusby84]

Fantastico

[Dhbrydon]

This of course is a Canadian song sung in memory of a love in Dundas Ontario, at one time there was a memorial there to this love and the song it inspired'

[Mirisabelines]

@Dhbrydon oh man...i have to disappoint you, this is not a Canadian song.

[Dhbrydon]

@Mirisabelines, It most certainly is a Canadian Song written by George .W. Johnson acanadian School teacher who later worked as a reporter for The Cleveland Plains Dealer but returned to Canada to teach at Upper Canada College, before you write do your research.
