Mom didn't sing the tradition kiddie songs much. She preferred to sing the songs she loved. That was Country & Western songs, which as most can guess is not your typical children's fare. I loved to hear mom sing. We used to have some great car rides and we never needed a radio.
Some of my favorites were:
Johnny Cash "Long Black Veil"
Johnny Cash "5 Feet High and Rising"
Johnny Cash "I Got Stripes"
Johnny Cash "Frankie & Johnny"
Notice a theme? Is it any wonder Johnny Cash is one of my favorite singers/songwriters.

I only discovered Johnny Cash a couple of years ago. But he is amongst my favs. I like his later stuff best. "Redemption" and "Would you lie with me?" for example.
I love watching Johnny and June on youtube.
Hi Wendy,
I enjoy his newer stuff as well. I guess growing up on the old stuff, it's my favorite.
Thank you for visiting :)
I love to hear his version of Ring of Fire.
What a sweet memory of your mom singing! Everytime you play a JC song, you must have sweet memories of your mom!
I grew up listening to Johnny. I'm told my mom sang well and she loved to sing C&W songs, but I am too little to remember. My Gram raised me, and she sang all the old hymns. She and my brother often sang, "The Old Rugged Cross." Whenever I heard the song now I remember and get all misty-eyed.
Frankie & Johnny is such a fun song!
:D

Your Mom was creative. I used to sing the simple little songs to my daughter until she got old enough to realize that I can't sing.LOL
Glad y'all liked the walk down memory lane.
