Thread Name: Origins: Calling My Children Home
Subject: RE: Origins: Calling My Children Home
The album Calling My Children home was recorded in 1977, and was re-released on CD in 1992.
I have the album somewhere, and the CD is right in front of me, but I can tell you that the notes are of no real help.
"The title piece, which is sung unaccompanied, is a real gem"
And this:
Arr: Lawson - Waller - Yates (Zap/Fauquier - BMI)
Note the Arr: which I have emphasized ~~ you can see that they were NOT claiming authorship, just the arrangement.
The Country Gentlemen at the time was composed of Charlie Waller, Doyle Lawson, Bill Yates and James Bailey. The first three were partners. Bailey, the banjo player was an employee as I understand it. Only Charlie Waller remains with the group to this day. I can't tell you where the Robert Yates above comes from. It is either an error or the name was totally unused by him, because I have never heard him called anything but Bill.
Doyle Lawson will be here this season.
Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver Saturday, September 4, 7:30 pm in the Folk Center Theater Noted for their harmonies and a cappella singing, they are very active and respected in bluegrass and gospel music.
During our Tribute to Grandpa Jones Admission Price: $15
I make no promises, but if I think of it, I will ask him. That definitely is a show I am looking forward to! It has been a little over ten years since I saw him last, and that is too long.
