The theme of this week's Mewsic Moves Me blog hop is...Mewsic Trivia – tell us a piece of mewsic trivia about a song(s) and share it.
I thought I'd present a few fun facts about one of Conway's most beloved songs (and his most successful duet with someone other than Loretta Lynn), Don't Cry Joni with his 16 year old daughter Joni.
Don't Cry Joni is a song Conway wrote while his kids were growing up, and as they describe it today, one they sang around the house as a family. By the time Joni became a teenager she started thinking about following in her father's footsteps and becoming a singer. Conway thought bringing her into the recording studio might provide a bit of encouragement, so he asked her to record the song with him, telling her he would later substitute her voice with a professional singer.

Melissa,
Ahh, that's a bit of sweet trivia! Joni is a pretty gal. I can see why this song did so well. But, what I'd like to know is did she follow her daddy in the business or was this the only time for her record a song? Thanks for sharing the dance floor with the 4M crew in the new year, furriends!
It's always so interesting to learn the origins of songs!
That was interesting. Not the first time a "B" side made it big. I had to investigate further (I'm not much of a country fan) and found that Twitty's grandson also has the musical talent gene. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
