Maury Laws leant me his sheet music to "Don't give your love away" from Cricket on the Hearth, many years ago, and it did not feature Ed Ames on the cover. It featured another favorite, Jack Jones. #rankinbassproductionsofficial #Jackjones #Cricketonrhehearth

🎼"and we'll have a thousand days of may"

Ed Ames R.I.P. 95 He worked with Rankin/Bass Productions on Cricket on the Hearth "Don't give your love away"

When you think of the late, great Roddy McDowell, you may not think of Rankin/Bass Productions, but did you know he has appeared in three of their productions? His first appearance was in Rankin/Bass' Cricket on the Hearth and then later in Rankin/Bass' The Return of the King and The Wind in the Willows.
