GUEST,mike jones I've been looking for that for SO long! (70* d) RE: I've been looking for that for SO long! 31 Jan 09


Dale, I am plesed and appreciative for your enthusiasm for the Georgia Yellowhammers and Charles E. Moody. Mr Moody, like his son, could sing all parts of harmony. However, I am quiet sure he never sang lead on a recording with the Hammers and did not record his huge songs "Drifting" and "Kneel". Mr. Moody's great talent was that of a highly skilled craftsman, a contemplative, studious, totally modest man who did not give a hoot about showmanship. He also attended several schools of music beginning with young Harris college in young Harris, Georgia. He was totally immersed in music and religion. Finely, I can also tell you that numerous composers called on him to "polish" their songs, I believe more so in melody than lyrics. I am not totally sure of this but that is my somewhat informed opinion. At a latter time I can share with you a highly interesting story about "drifting". for me, a devotee and admirer of Mr Moody it is a fascinating look at the the soul of this great man.
