When the Swallows Come Back to Capistrano 56th in 1940

Written by: Leon René
Language: English
Comments: In 1939 songwriter Leon René was listening to the radio one morning when he heard the announcer say the cliff swallows were about to arrive at the Mission San Juan Capistrano in California. He got the idea for a song and wrote "When the Swallows Come Back to Capistrano". A glassed-off room in the mission was later designated in René's honor and displays the upright piano on which he composed the tune, the reception desk from his office, several copies of the song's sheet music and other pieces of furniture, all donated by René's family.
