Philip Hudson Req:Last Night as I Lay Dreaming (not Spancil Hill (28) RE: Last Night as I Lay Dreaming 25 Jun 98


Alice: The Carter Family song "Last Night As I lay Sleeping" sounds very interesting but it is not the song I am looking for. I do not know how to listen to audio clips on the internet so I can't hear it. I will try to get someone to teach me what software I need and how to do that, but I need an "in person" person. I'm not swuft enough to learn by written instructions. The song I am looking for definitely begins "Last night as I lay dreaming". There is also a song that begins "Last night as I lay sleeping// there came a dream so fair// I stood in old Jerusalem// beside the temple there//. It is a beautiful song but is not in the folk song realm, I don't think. Someone defined a folk song as, among other characteristics, requiring a limited range. I believe "Londonderry" doesn't qualify because of this limitation. "Jerusalem" certainly doesn't. But if you know "Jerusalem", I'm sure you will agree that it is a fine song. - Philip Hudson
