Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I'll Fly Away - Albert E. Brumley
I never watched the show as I was working evenings & saw no prime time TV in those days. Mr. Brumley was from just outside of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Growing up in Tulsa with Oral Roberts Univ, & a couple of Bible colleges, & a couple of churches on most every corner, on occasion Mr. Brumley would attend & sing some of his songs, including "I'll Fly Away." He did tent revivals all over the country when he was younger. Radio, too. They're still singing his songs all around Tulsa. The blue click thingie still won't work for me, but you can find all kinds of info (maybe even email somebody) about I'll Fly Away the TV show (scroll down & you'll see Snuffy listed under Music" here:
