Speaking of Lee Roy Abernathy, (which I read above a while back) A few years ago, back in 1993, I was in a musical called Smoke on the Mountain, which incidently is the reason I started playing the bass as it was my Character's instrument in this bluegrass gospel musical. I remember opening night and in my mind most of the music was pretty obscure and certainly most folks would not have heard it before.   The second number in the show just after the applause died down down from the opening was me singing "A WOnderful TIme up There." It was a bit disconcerting to have an old guy sitting in the front row that apparently knew the song better than I did! At intermission I mentioned it to the cast and they said, " yeah, he sang in a gospel group back in the 40s and 50s with Lee Roy Abernathy, who wrote that song." "Y'all are lying to me! I said. "No, and if ya wanna really be freaked out, Lee Roy was my uncle." said Denise, one of the characters. Her name in real life is Lori Abernathy Etheridge.
