Arnold Keith Storm of Mooresville, Indiana, mentioned in my above post, also learned "The Blind Child" from his family tradition. It, too, is on his Folk-Legacy recording (now available as a CD) "Take the News to Mother, and Other Songs of a More Sentimental Age" (CD-18). He also does the best "Little Joe, the Wrangler" and "Utah Carl (Carroll)" I've ever heard. Other songs on his CD are: The Boy Who Could Never Come Home, The Dream of the Miner's Child, The Prison Warden's Secret, Take the news to Mother, Two Drummers (My Mother Was a Lady), Little Rosewood Casket, There's a Mother Always Waiting You at Home, Poor Little Joe (mentioned above), Patched Up Old Devil, Jim Blake, Your Wife is Dying, plus two original songs: The Great Explosion and The Sparrow's Question. then he wraps it all up with the wonderful old hymn, Ninety and Nine. Nice flat-picked Gibson guitar and a good singer, too! Sandy
