      I just discovered Tom's recordings of classic American songs just a couple of months ago. Very sad to find out he passed away, last year I think.

    This song has a sadness to it when you realize he wrote it about his estranged wife at the time,Janie
    Beautiful poetic lyrics ( floating like a vapor on the soft summer air)

    Probably the most authentic rendering of this song since it was originally sung in Foster's day. I have not heard it done so well. Thanks for this upload!

    The first time I saw the sheet music to this I was about 3 years old and I'm now 55! This is the first time in my life that someone performed this song the way the composer MEANT for it to be performed! Great job!!

    Yes, it's my favorite too. My grandfather called me Jeanie all the time. Sometimes he'd add, Jeanie with the light brown hair. I was 13 when he died but I took special interest in this song, because of him. Aw, how I loved it! I researched Stephen Foster a lot. I watched old movies about him, listened all his songs on whatever I could find them on. In the 60's that wasn't easy! So I checked out books with his compositions in them from the library.
    I developed a lifelong appreciation for this talented man.
    Music wasn't a so called, 'business' during his time. He laid the groundwork for songwriters that came after him.
    He tuned in to the world he knew. His melodies and lyrics are timeless!
    His work is poetry put to music.
    I must add that you have the best recording of Foster's songs that I've heard! Are you playing that beautiful piano? It's all just wonderful! Thanks for all the time and work you have put into these recordings for our enjoyment!

    Tom, you channeled S.Foster. It's the only reasonable explanation of the beauty, sweetness and deep emotional feeling his music and lyrics. No other singer comes even closer to you.

    I would like to point out about the anime that I suggested to you.throughout the story u will notice many of Stephen foster songs like Jeanie with the light brown hair,oh susanna,beautiful dreamer,old folks at home,camptown races,my old Kentucky home,old black joe,Nelly was a lady,Nelly Bly,old dog tray,Hard Times Come Again No More,and etc.also the ending is a bit confusing but don’t worry I will explain it to you.billy and his band doesn’t leave Jeanie and Stephen,in fact they were heading to New York together to make songs together and dr Jason came with them to be a teacher for Jeanie in learning to be a doctor,and mrs.Conrad,and the children started to head to Pittsburg, Lawrenceville,so there u go

    You know, the traditional British pronunciation of "again" is like "a gain". Am I the only one that Foster intended it to be pronounced like that, because it rhymes with "rain"?
