Subject: RE: Good Night, The Lord's Coming
I didn't make that up, honest!
That video was played when
Larry King had Naomi Judd on his talk show;
she was promoting a book she had just published
(by then Naomi had retired from performing).

The rare and wonderful thing about the occasion of the performance,
was that Ashley Judd rarely sings at all,
and especially rarely in public with Naomi and Wynonna,
but for a benefit or something, the three of them did it.
So Larry King played the video on his talk show.
But can I find it now?   nooooooooo.


However, here are some remarks from the album notes
by the Nashville Bluegrass Band.
You can read them on the notes for the album 'To Be His Child.'

Or I will copy out the few sentences,
and put them here:
"Goodnight, the Lord's Coming" was discovered by fiddler James Bryan on a very rare '78 Vocalion record by an obscure group called the Pilgrim Jubilee Singers, who had recorded it back in 1927 in New York. They did the song unaccompanied, as does the Nashville Bluegrass Band here.
