Question
My Daddy was in ww11 and always played a song called Frau;ein I think it was by Red Sovinne I can't find it....could you help Dad is gone now but I would love to find the song and listen to it again

Answer
Fraulein was written  and recorded by Bobby Helms back in 1957 and has been recorded by many people. It was a big hit for Hank Locklin also.
Sometimes called "Frog Eyes" by folks purposefully mis hearing Helms chorus.

Expertise

I am a long time fan of Bluegrass and older country/folk music (20-70's) and have a fairly extensive tape and sheet music library of the same and have played the music non-professionally for many years. I can (hopefully) assist with information about artists and lyrics. Please try to make it the older stuff, I don't listen to much "modern" country except George Strait anymore....it ain't got no soul anymore :)

Experience

I grew up in the 60's listening to all the old greats and learned to play the music. I have spent a lot of time reading about the genres and have gotten a chance to meet several of the big names over the years.
