Thread Name: ADD: Father's Table Grace (Flatt & Scruggs)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Daddy's Evening Prayer
Maybe that's why I couldn't find it at my local music store with the fancy touch activated computer thingie. I don't go in there very often. The atmosphere is very Rap oriented and they play music(?) so damn loud you can hardly hear yourself think. Eventualy, after floundering a while trying to figure out where amongst all the Rap, Pop, Techno and other stuff that wouldn't even pass for noise in most dictionaries they keep the the Country and Bluegrass cassettes and CD's, something that defies description (pierced lip, tongue, eyebrow, and earings) waltzes up and asks you if you're finding what your looking for. Not hardly able to hear him above the noise I just say yes and let it go at that. How does one explain to that mindset that you are looking for a song from the 50's or 60's and try to explain that it actually has a story line and worse, what it is about.

However I will attempt again this morning to go there and use the correct title, Father's Table Grace. I will also check the Flatt and Scruggs section. I was way off base not only with the title, but I was thinking more along the lines of a Walter Brennan type voice doing the recitation. I could almost hear that gravely old voice with the hesitant pauses doing that number.

Thanks for the help, Gene. I'll let you know how the search turns out by Sunday PM and maybe save you typing it in. Thanks again!!
