"I've Been Everywhere"

Sparkle · 01-21-2011, 10:16 AM

Song written by Australian Geoff Mack in 1959. Has been adapted all over the world. Add your country's version.

Nova Scotia’s Hank Snow, met Elvis Presley's future manager, Col. Tom Parker, in
1954, in Nashville. They formed a booking company. Snow convinced the Grand Ole Opry to book Elvis just as Ernest Tubb had done for him. Elvis later recorded Snow’s music. So did others such as Les Paul, Ray Charles, and the Rolling Stones.

LOL! That was fun. I had no idea the song was originally Australian. I loved the New Zealand town names. Danish is not melodic. As a Canadian, I may be biased, but Hank Snow is the one for me, man.

Glad one fellow had fun.

Hank Snow is my favorite Canadian. Running a close second is Sgt. Preston.
