Pete,

What are the details of the recording you refer to on CD 10 of the Bear Family set? I do not have that set, but I have all pre-1941 recordings of The Carter Family. The recording I have of 'Meeting in the Air' is with Sara and Mabelle only - 4 Oct 1940 [OK 05931). I have Alec Davidson's discography in Old Time Music Booklet #1 and I cannot find any recording of the song by the trio. The only other reference by Davidson is to a March 1956 recording on Acme [Acme DF-103] by The A.P. Carter Family - A.P., Sara, Janette Carter and Joe Carter. Is Davidson's discography at fault or have I missed something?

Susan,

I have converted the October 1940 recording to an MP3 file [1.47 Mb]. Two guitars, Sara on lead with Maybelle joining her on choruses. If you care to PM me with your email address, I'll try to sent it to you.
