Subject: RE: Jimmie Rodgers to Kendall: Prairie Lullaby
Kendall, just wanted you to know, I've been singing this, nightly, to my grandson, Morgan, for the past couple of months. (He's heard it before, but not as consistently.)It comes after he and I have read to one another, over the phone, just before he goes to bed.

Anyway, the folk process is alive and well...he's been learning it on his own and last night had it almost down pat as he sang along with me. I wish I'd had a recording...it was so precious, made my heart glow.

Thanks, again, my friend, for telling me about the rest of it and for singing it for me, way back in the early days of Mudcat.:-)

P.S. Before he went to school this morning, I played a youtube video for him of Jimmie Rodgers singing. He made note that "Mama" does not do the yodelling part!:-)
