Subject: Alabama Jubilee From: Old Timer Date: 22 Oct 97 - 11:43 AM I'm in need of lyrics to this old song. I can not find it in any of the 'net sources I know about. I would also like to know any history or background for this song, as I have been told it is very old- perhaps written in the 1800s (minstrel?). Thanks OT |

Subject: RE: Alabama Jubilee From: Dale Rose Date: 23 Oct 97 - 07:35 PM I have a twin fiddle instrumental recording by Bill Helms' Upson County Band, c. 1928 somewhere. Bill Helms was one of those wild Georgia fiddlers who played with the Skillet Licker, etc. ensemble on occasion. |

Subject: RE: Alabama Jubilee From: annamill Date: 17 Oct 01 - 12:50 PM I have this song on an old Jerry Reed album and it is one of my favorites. I haven't listened to it for a while. I think I'll get it out tonight. Love, Annamill |
Subject: RE: Alabama Jubilee From: masato sakurai Date: 17 Oct 01 - 07:32 PM The sheet music of "Alabama Jubilee" is in The Lester S. Levy Collection of Sheet Music (1 item) and American Memory (3 items). They are the same, though one in American Memory is of "professional copy". The images in American Memory are clearer.

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Alabama Jubilee (Yellen/Cobb) From: GUEST,twbryant Date: 07 May 12 - 06:47 PM From my grampa who said that this was a very old tune that was played in southern church revivals just after the civil war. I have no references to give, just his recollection. Thus, he said that old Aunt Jemima and one legged joe (from the confed) danced together in church! That is all I know from his accounts... I bet this song is older than any of the recorded versions though. |
