So many thanks to Kadi for her time, vulnerability and storytelling talents this week.
You can hear another one of Kadi's stories (about a less than relaxing yoga retreat) here. She also has a soundcloud ! Check it out to hear her young adult fiction podcast called YA! podcast. You can also check Kadi out @kadi_d on all the socials.
I'll See You In My Dreams isn't exclusively a ukulele jam. In fact, it first charted in the 20s! Since then it has been recorded by a virtual who's who (including Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald, Jerry Lee Lewis and Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys). That said it's easy to see how Joe Brown's version from the 2002 Concert for George (Harrison) at Royal Albert Hall in London is a favourite. Though I love Ella Fitzgerald's version, I think Kadi's dead right about how Joe Brown's recording embodies the lightness a loved one's warmly-held memory. And now I won't ever be able to hear it without thinking of the Quran and sheep skin jackets.
As always, I'd encourage you to listen to the song before (and even again after) you hear the episode.
Make sure you follow The Volume Knob on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or at our website volumeknob.net.
And if you have a story about the song that saved your life be sure to send it to me at volumeknobpod@gmail.com.
