Subject: RE: Unknown religous song from old LP
Thanks for the response, Dean, I always like to hear some of the history about the records I have, when possible. The Goodwill that I bought the record in was in Charlotte, NC, so the record did some travelling! If you don't have a copy of the record, you can ask Dell McLendon for my email and I can send you my recording of it.

It was interesting to hear that your version of Rank Strangers was so popular, because I've got to say that it's one of my favorite versions I've heard.

Originally, as you can see, I had a somewhat hard time understanding the lyrics. But once I managed to track down Hylo's version, I realized what they were. I think the small differences came up just as part of the "folk process" of listening to the song and slightly changing it.
