I was introduced to Skeeter Davis's songs in the late 90's when I was in Bombay.
This girl, whom I barely knew, had gone shopping and, when back, left a plastic cover on my desk. She must have left it there by mistake, so I put it in the drawer to be given back the next day.
The next day, no sign of the girl. The following day too.
It was then I peered into the cover to find an audio cassette (yes, those were the cassette days). I took that home and heard Skeeter Davis for the first time. My.. I became an instant fan and heard the cassette over and over the next few days.
Then the girl returns and asks about the cover. I am in two minds, but I say it is safe and return the cassette to her.
The following day, the girl comes in fuming and complains that the tape is all worn out.
Guilty..
Well, she complained and complained until I promised to buy her another Skeeter Davis cassette ....... and a treat.
Since then, she's grown on me—I mean, Skeeter Davis—and now I hear them for the music at times and for the lyrics at other times. I can hear them when I am happy or sad.. She has what it takes to put me back on track.

Here are some of my favourites.
