Cruising Down the River

Cruising Down the River Customer Review: a great surprise!
5 years ago or so I had asked my then-104 yo great-grandmother what she wanted for her funeral services. She mentioned a song about going to a river on Sunday afternoon. Years went by, and we only half-way looked for the song. When she took a turn for the worse this past Christmas, we went looking in earnest. What we found was “Cruising Down the River.” When my mom repeated the words, she started singing along. We had found it! We did not get the CD until the day after Grandma had died at 109, but we played the song during the service, and you could almost see her waltzing with my 30-year dead grandpa. It was beautiful, just the way we wanted to remember Grandma, and for those of us who didn’t know him, a great way to imagine Grandpa.
We brought the CD home and I love it. I have never been a fan of music from this era, but these are so much fun! the recordings are free from that awful static so common to old music from this time period. The kids love to dance to the Sunflower song, and I always get a good laugh over “the merry-Go-Round Broke Down.” I am thinking to get some other albums by Russ Morgan, especially if they are such good quality.
Customer Review: Very Enjoyable Listen

I bought this CD primarily because I really like the song “Sunflower” and wanted the version on this disc. I am very satisfied with that song and have very much enjoyed the rest of the music as well. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys this genre.
