YorkshireYankee ADD: Who Will Watch the Home Place? (Kate Long) (30) RE: ADD: Who Will Watch the Home Place? (Kate Long) 25 Oct 20


Interesting to see what Guest says, two posts above this one.

I attended Augusta's Vocal Week back in the early 90's, and took the songwriting class as one of my daily workshops (can't remember who the 'teacher' was, unfortunately). Of course we all worked on songs that week. Kate Long was in that class, too, and towards the end of the week she shared "Who Will Watch the Home Place?" (I remember her hands shaking as she sang it, very quietly and gently.)

Ten-20 years later, I was amazed to hear someone sing it in a session in Sheffield UK (where I live now). He told me he had learned it from a Laurie Lewis CD – and I remembered that Laurie Lewis had been one of the Vocal Week instructors that year. I believe she heard Kate sing it that week and decided to cover it. I probably would not have been surprised if I was someone who followed bluegrass music closely, but I don't, so it was quite amazing to hear Kate's song all those miles away and all those years later.
