Subject: RE: Jesus' Aeroplane--Info
Moira, here you go:

The song's called "Heavenly aeroplane", sung by the Watersons on their LP "Sound, sound your instruments of joy", released in 1977 by Topic.

The most informative part of the notes is: "A holy roller jewel of the 1930s, what they call a 'brush arbour hymn' in the backwood districts of America...Vance Randolph prints a version of 'Heavenly aeroplane' in his Ozark Folksongs, vol. IV. His manuscript copy has the note: 'Feb. 19 1935, Watts, Okla."

Okay? I could also type the less informative middle part of the notes or could type the lyrics from the record cover. You want them?

Cheers Wolfgang
