Roger Whittaker: “The Last Farewell”

Thanks..one of my all time favorites...

Funny how ‘depraved’ we (I) were, coming up without the video to accompany songs - We had to ‘imagine’ and the video is perfect though I had always thought he was fleeing the ‘Islands’ because the Japanese were on the way.
The version shown is ‘better’ as it plays to the ‘Schooner/Sail theme’

That said, if you want a treat listen to this version by Elvis.
(If link doesn’t open, it is on same page as your link)

Not as good as Roger Whitaker BUT had I heard this one first, I may have a different opinion.

Hearing Elvis’ deep, rich voice just ‘proves’ you can take the boy out of Mississippi, but you can’t take Mississippi out of the boy......
