Mac Wiseman performing “I Wonder How the Old Folks Are At Home”. ______________________________ I Wonder How the Old Folks Are At Home Music by F. W. Vandersloot; Lyrics by Herbert S. Lambert

Well, I wonder how the old folks are at home I wonder if they'll miss me when I'm gone I wonder if they'll pray for the boy who went away And left his dear old parents so alone

Now you can hear the cattle lowin' in the lane You can see the fields of blue grass where I roam You can almost hear them cry as they kiss their boy goodbye I wonder how the old folks are at home

Just a village and a homestead on the farm And a mother's love to shield you from all harm A mother's love so true a sweetheart that loves you Just a village and a homestead on the farm

Now you can hear the cattle lowin' in the lane You can see the fields of blue grass where I roam You can almost hear them cry as they kiss their boy goodbye I wonder how the old folks are at home

Rest in peace, Edward Elgar.  While your Pomp & Circumstance is difficult to appreciate innately (too many graduation cap connotations), your Enigma Variations will always please and your Cello Concerto...c’est magnifique.  After a stuttering career, Elgar was eventually knighted in 1904 and appointed Master of the King’s Musick in 1924 for his contributions to British composition and music development worldwide.  He died on this date in 1934 at the age 76.
