A while back i remember hearing a report that Molly Mason had been hospitalized and the Jay Unger was playing music in the hospital
so that she would be surrounded by music. I searched the forum
and did not see this thread, but wonder if anyone knows of her
condition or progress?? I believe it might have been a stroke
or a brain hemmorhage that she suffered? Please send news,
and plaease let it be good!
Jay Unger and Molly Mason wrote Ashogan Farewell, which has
become the most famous civil war/non-civil war song. A waltz
in A which was written for Ken Burns' Civil War series, as I
recall, has been mistaken for an original song from that era,
though recently composed. Sort of like the situation with the
song Darcy Farrow which won an "old songs" contest, though not
actually old at all~!(it was written by Steve Gillette and Tom
Campbell)
