Far Away Places

Here I am singing a song that has always been one of my favorites. Written by Joan Whitney and Alex Kramer, it was a huge hit for Bing Crosby in 1948. I'm backed by the same magical Ken Darby vocal arrangement that was used in Bing's version. I hope you'll enjoy my take on this classic song!

du hast eine wunderschöne Stimme

[strew8]

My cousin played this on the piano when I was a kid, and I would dream of being able to go see the world. I have had that chance to do just that. You have a great voice and I truly enjoyed your rendition, brought back a lot of memories.

Once again, a very nice performance...Good editing and good voice...Fran

[RideThatSymphonyHome]

This is great!...it was played at my grandad's funeral because it was his favourite song. :'(

"I start gettin' restless whenever I hear the whistle of a train" Love that line because he was a station master and he loved working on the railway. Anyway, great performance, great voice. Thanks! :)

[Delmontedel]

Really nice performance. Proper music, sung with an effortless charm.
