SWALLOWS DAY PARADE

The swallows return to San Juan Capistrano, California every spring in March from South America.

I decided to use the original version of composer Leon Rene’s 1939 iconic song, “When the Swallows Come Back To Capistrano” recorded by the Ink Spots. I’ve also included a youtube video at the bottom of my blog of the 1950’s version by Pat Boone that most people are familiar with.

Feel free to post a comment at the bottom.

I hope you enjoy!
