Thread Name: OLD Gospel tunes
Subject: RE: OLD Gospel tunes
As a result of this thread I'm inspired to contribute to a Gospel Session at the Maldon (Victoria) Folk Festival in November.

With its 4 part harmonies already written the Cyber Hymnal is truly superb. Thanks for the link and all the great song suggestions.

If I were to extend the time period beyond 1920 and specify that I was seeking up tempo old timey/bluegrass numbers (eg a la Carter Family) would there be further suggestions of materials please. I'd be rehearsing remotely from 1,000 miles away so four part dots would be very helpful. Any further suggestions please?

This is a musical experiment for me and one that I'm really looking forward to.

Regards, John

PS Couldn't easily find 'Old Country Church' in Cyber Hymnal, plus I've been chasing the dots/lyrics to 'Back in the Old Sunday School' for forty years.
