I would like to have the lyrics to Forty Miles of Elbow Room, a song about how it is going to be in heaven. Couldn't find it in the base.

That's it. I guess the artist I've hear were off by 10 miles. Glad to hear I was at least copywrited by AP Carter; I am a big Carter family fan. By the by, the latest release of their collections on Rounder is due about Feb 11. Any other info or collection of printed Carter music available?

Hartley...

I've transcribed the lyrics for about 20 Carter Family songs and have lots of others lurking on vinyl. Tell me what you're interested in - perhaps we should start a new thread.
