Cliff Crofford the Song writer for Old Rivers passed away this morning. Thank you all for your comments about his song. He really enjoyed reading them.

@rebelwithkidz Oh my. Such sad news. He wrote a great song.

yes, i have

I have an MP3 of Houdini... I'll send you a message regarding it.

beautiful

I heard this song for the first time on November Second, 2009. At my Grandfathers funeral. I will NEVER forget it. And henceforth, I will call my local radio station on this day and do what I can to have them play this song on that date. Grandpa John, you will never be forgotten...

Thank you so much for putting this song on here. I just love the old songs...such good stories to them...thank you

It's a sad song but I always laugh at
"We're all fine. Crops is dry"
lol can't be too fine if you're crops are dry there, Walter.

FFFFUUUU - Don't you realize that when harvest comes along, it's nice for the crops to be dry? So you can actually harvest them?

Cotton can't be picked if it's too wet. Poor dirt farmers always had to worry about getting flooded out. It's always a race to beat the rains when harvesting. My Grandfather had to use a boat to get the women from the house to high ground more than once. Don't mock what you don't understand.
