GUEST,William	Origins: The authors of the 'Carter Family songs' (395* d)	RE: Origins: The authors of the 'Carter Family songs'	10 Aug 11
In Dec 08, Richie asked about the actual origins/author of the Carter Family song, "I'll Be Home Someday". I did not see any response. The song was not written or composed by The Carter Family. I was looking up the music of this song and as it turns out, the song title and author ARE known and available. The factual info on the song is as follows: "If You See My Savior, Tell Him You Saw Me", written and composed by Thomas Dorsey in approximately 1929 (published in approximately 1932). Many are of the impression Anne Murray, Mahalia Jackson (and others) wrote the song. This is in error. Anne Murray rearranged the lyrics and sang the song, but she did not write and compose it. Have a blessed day, from another bluegrass fan... William
