GUEST,Bill Perry Origins: Coming of the Roads (Billy Edd Wheeler) (34) RE: Origins: Coming of the Roads (Billy Edd Wheeler) 17 Jun 11

Sorry to get into this discussion so late, but I was just getting this song ready for my son when I found this discussion.

Billy Edd Wheeler wrote this song for sweet, elven Judy Collins and her voice range. I used to do it as a set with "Dark As a Dungeon" using an powerful arrangement that finished my voice for the night.

The tune and words have haunted my mind off and on for over 40 years, being from NW Pennsylvania mining roots.

Wheeler was a poet first and a song writer second. He did well in Nashville, but his heart was always in the Highlands.
