These words have been runing through my mind for the last 50 odd years. Used to remember all the words but now just the Chorus seems to surface.I first heard this fellow play at one of the enumerable Bible tent shows along the East coast and always had the feeling that he seemed more of a participant in the show than just a crowd warmer.

He was a good musician and expressed himself well. I agree that he did not fit the mold but he sure made his inviornment more interesting.

I would classify his music more hillbilly than either blue grass or country only because he didn't seem to fit Bill Monroe's strict interpertation of Bill's music and because "Country" not yet gained wide acceptence as a classification.

There were really a lot of pickers out there and I don't think the market was large enough. Maybe if google were around things would have been different.

Thank You
