Can't Help Falling in Love - played on a handmade applewood Tenor Guitar

Музыка

My dad built this tenor guitar by hand out of wood from an apple tree (felled by a windstorm) and an old piano I used to own as a child.
This melody is from a 1784 composition by Jean-Paul-Égide Martini, which became a popular French folk song during the 1940's and 50's. It was reinvented as an American song by Hugo Peretti and friends, and in spite of its long history in France, and the fact that it was written for a woman to sing, in the United States it is most commonly attributed to Elvis Presley.

    I wasn’t looking but am glad that this popped into my recommendations. You have an amazing voice. While watching, my mind kept telling me that you looked familiar and the name vaguely rang a bell. Looked through the comments here and saw the comment from Mary Stevenson and it hit me. I seem to run into Billies all over the internet but outside of people that I grew up with, I think you’re the first Lost Creeker I’ve found. If my faulty old memory is correct, you graduated around the same time as the 2 Jacob’s, Shadwick and Landstra. Thank you for brightening my morning and keep singing, that voice needs to be heard.

    Thanks for the encouragement! Comments like this really do help. I’m actually getting back into the studio on Friday. I just posted a vocal clip on my TikTok page @alisonhelzermusic. I’ll try to get longer-form content up on KZread before too long. 😊
