"I'll Hold You in My Heart"
lyricsdownload.com/eddy-arnold-i-ll-hold-you-in-my-heart-lyrics.html [lyricsdownload.com/eddy-arnold-i-ll-hold-you-in-my-heart-lyrics.html]
One of my first and fondest memories is of English Leather cologne wafting through the room while watching my handsome father ironing his trousers for Sunday morning church services. (In his opinion, my Mother's well-intentioned attempts at pressing just the right razor-sharp crease into them always fell short of the mark). There he stood, broad shoulders clad in a crisp white dress shirt and Windsor-knotted tie, calf-length dark socks worn with perfectly polished wingtip shoes, and... light blue cotton boxers! As he deftly wielded the steamiron across blended wool or linen, he serenaded my mother and me. His selections invariably included old Eddy Arnold aka "The Tennessee Plowboy" tunes. Daddy had a lovely deep voice and could croon a dead on Eddy-rendition.
Sad news came Thursday from his home in Nashville, that Eddy has departed for that "final cattle-call in the sky". I will miss knowing that he's still around. My pal and neighbor down Tennessee-way, KEV (who's a fine example of a Southern gentleman, himself) has posted a very nice and detailed memorial to his fellow "small hometown boy made good ". When I left hearth & home for the first time to attend college at Freed-Hardeman, I spent many hours in the Eddy Arnold Reading Room in the local library.
I am in the process of searching my files for a picture to post of my brother taken with Mr. Arnold at a banquet held at The Country Music Hall of Fame a couple of years ago, honoring the singer.
ps. This one's for you, Daddy ;)
