    I am smiling non stop and dedicating this song to my Daddy who passed over in 1991. He taught my little sister and i to sing harmony to the kingston trio and peter paul and mary and so many more. We learned all the great ballads and folk songs then and they are still my favorite to this day.. in 2023. I am his oldest daughter Isabel, i just turned 63. For God's purpose i am the last living Thomas in our family. But in my heart i know they are all with me as i complete my own journey. I love u all and my angels carry to you my prayers, wishes and songs. ....So....
    Daddy would sing softly "Scarlet ribbons" to us,* my little sister Karen i* as a lullaby each night at bed time. So glad i could still find it.

Thank you Harry for everything you gave this crummy world. I had never heard this song until now. Every single word fits my own crummy life. Godspeed.

      Have you ever heard his younger brother Tom? He's as good as Harry was, although he takes a slightly different path for subject matter. He still does the occasional tour, but mostly he sings close to home. And he still does kids' shows also, frequently accompanied by his own, now grown, kids. A wonderful lack of planning by the group that booked him in my town prompted me to ask if he'd like to join me for an early dinner and I'd be happy to lead him back to the airport. We ended up talking mostly about all our kids,and it was a lovely couple of hours. I'm still a groupie.
