Won't You Sometimes Think of Me?

Zoomer Roberts: vocal & french harp
Buddy Winston: guitar
Recorded 23 March 2013


I thought I had an original tune here, but Sara Carter has already sung these notes. And, Hank Williams wrote a song with this same title 65 years ago. And, when I started writing down the lyrics, I quickly realized I was using every hoary cliche in the book. Finally, I decided to just roll with it and laced it with all manner of old song references. By the fourth verse, I had become shameless. The final product is fun and catchy, according to both people who have heard it thus far. Hope you like it, too!

Listen to "Won't You Sometimes Think of Me?"

Here are some of those songs, recorded at a rehearsal two weeks prior to the wedding, which took place on St. Patrick's Day 2013.
