Oh Lonesome Me<\/a><\/p>\n

Some of Don Gibson\u2019s numbers are my favourite love songs. He wrote some really sad ones! When I was young I had never heard of him, but I loved singing: \u201cOh lonesome me.\u201d It fitted in so well with the way I felt. I was always a loner type of person, and after a break up with a girl friend, this song fitted the exact mood. Later, I remember reading that he wrote that song and his other song: \u201cI can\u2019t stop loving you,\u201d in about 15 minutes. Wow! That\u2019s what I call inspiration.<\/p>\n

With June Carter on TV<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the same song, but with June Carter joining him. I just found this yesterday, and added it on somewhere else too. She has so much fun and personality.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t stop loving you \u2013 My favourite love song by Don Gibson <\/a><\/p>\n

This is still one of my all time favourite love songs. Apparently, \u201cI can\u2019t stop loving you\u201d was a major hit for Ray Charles. It is amazing how one person will write a song, but someone else gets the glory. I read on the internet that about 700 different artists have recorded the songs of Don Gibson. This is a classic. I am so sorry to learn that he has passed away.<\/p>\n

Just One Time<\/a><\/p>\n

This song has been running in my mind, so I felt I must include it. It has like a haunting feeling to it. \u201cIf I could see you just one time.\u201d Sometimes it can help to heal the heart when you see your old love just one more time. When you get as old as I am, it is a shock to see what time has done to people you knew when you were teenagers. What I have written above, I wrote yesterday, and today I have just heard that song on the radio by a girl singer. It is amazing. The last time I heard that song on the radio was about 50 years ago.<\/p>\n

Sea Of Heartbreak<\/a><\/p>\n

When I was a teenager I heard this song on the radio by Dickie Loader and the Blue Jeans, who lived in Durban, South Africa, which is a big seaport city. It started with the waves crashing, then the words: \u201cThe lights of the harbor, don\u2019t shine for me, I\u2019m like a lost ship, way out on the sea.\u201d It felt so exciting to me.<\/p>\n
