American ![]() | Jeanie with the light brown hair |
"Jeanie with the light brown hair" is one of a number of songs that I learned whilst trying to learn to play the piano and can be found in the Regina Song Album No. 17. This Stephen Collins Foster composition is a real drawing-room song and very sentimental. I was pretty lousy on the piano but can manage a fairly tolerable version with my concertina.
