My uncle and I used to play his songs at Christmas every year. I'd play mando.

He will be sorely missed. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

"Make the World Go Away"

[Bill Van Liere]

Did he write or perform the theme for the TV show Green Acres?

[earthsave]

I dont think so. But they had Eddie Albert starring and Arnold the pig, which might lead to the confusion.

When I was a kid, my mom loved Eddie Arnold. I thought he had died years ago. Smooth voice.

Eddie Arnold (http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSN0838441420080508)

Yesterday, during our regular Thursday jam, my buddy asked "If you had to listen to only one singer, for the rest of your life, who would it be?" I quickly replied "Eddie Arnold"." Jan punched up "Make The World Go Away", on his jukebox, and while we were sitting there listening, his son (my buddy's) walked in and said "Hey, did you hear, Eddie Arnold just died?" Man, that was spooky!

IMO Mr. Arnold was one primo voice!

Wait! There IS some mando content to be mentioned concerning the great Mr. Arnold. He shows up in this deathless quatrain from Homer and Jethro's (and June Carter's)"Baby It's Cold Outside".Here 'tis:

JUNE: Maybe I'd better scurry.
H&J: Have a drink. What's your hurry?
JUNE: Maybe just a half a jug more.
H&J: Put some Eddy Arnold records on while I pour.

My dad used to take me into the neighborhood "watering hole" and I SWEAR "Make the World go away" was ALWAYS on the jukebox....Really brings back the memories!!!! God bless him--what a voice!!! Yvonne

Hank Cochran has been cashing royalty checks on that song for a good long time.

Hey, I'd rather he cash those checks than the guy who "wrote" Tainted Love. I wish someone would make THAT song go away.
