A neighbor (I'm in CT) just gave me an old cassette tape of her grandfather from GA singing and playing the banjo in a drop thumb and double thumb (old-time) style. It's a TREASURE, and we're in the process of digitizing the tape and identifying the various songs for her. A couple of them are recognizable but with variations in the melody from what we know.

One of the songs on this tape is "The Blind Child's Prayer" which is a thread here on Mudcat. I posted there and will also ask the question here to try to find out more about the man.

Horace Clinton Burnette of Norman Park, GA died in 1967 (I think she said) and was quite good at singing and playing the banjo. Does anyone know anything more about him and his music? I told her that the music community may be able to help me find out some background about this wonderful musician.
