I’ve been working with the Crimes of the Centuries podcast to recreate some sweet old songs that don’t exist in recorded form. The first song is 1875’s “Bring Back Our Darling,” about 4-year-old Charley Ross, the first child kidnapped for ransom. My vocal and piano renditions of the song appear in the first few minutes of Episode 9.

Here’s the sheet music. And here’s my recording of the song by itself:

Thanks to Garrett Tiedemann and Steve Tipton for bringing me on for this fun project!
