At first I thought the 1973 smash hit written by Irwin Levine and Russell Brown was a song about a soldier returning from Vietnam. Later I realized that was not the case from the words "Im really still in prison." But I still suspect that the guy was imprisoned for evading draft. In any way "Tie a Yellow Ribbon around the Old Oak Tree" always reminds me of the Vietnam War which marked the beginning of America's unstoppable decline.

Jack: We very much appreciate the sheet music you sent us. .

芝崎先生は、ヤマハ音楽教室の卒業生ですが、選曲の面でも、解釈や奏法の面でも、生徒さんを型にはまった「ヤマハ・カラー」に染めてしまうことを決してせず、それぞれの個­性を引き出すことに重点を置くという指導方針に徹しているので、自分なりの弾き方で技術を向上させたいと思っている方にとって「ユーカリ音楽教室」はベスト・チョイスだと­思われます。

  • It was a much more noble song than that. It speaks of trying to get a new start in life after committing crime and a jail term. The secret is found in that line about coming home on a bus.

    "Yellow Ribbon" told us that we all make mistakes but that we can be forgiven if we only ask for that. (It's a religious thing.)

    Your teacher plays magnificently! That is a song I battled with for years and can't get right. She plays perfectly and with real character in just a few days!

    Bravo!

  • deaforganist001: Thanks for educating me. Now I have understood, for the first time, that the song has nothing to do with the war and the subsequent decline of your country. Actually I've loved this tune and the lyrics since I was in my late-30s because they seem to make me see a dim light of hope amid the predawn darkness.
