Subject: RE: Origins: The authors of the 'Carter Family songs'
Q,
If we just do the original Carter Family then we won't be including all the songs from the Carter Sisters and all the other combinations of the Carters and their granchildren. Also Maybelle who had a long distinguished career, they were on the Johnny Cash show, etc, etc. It would be hard to track down the thousands of songs.
There are around 300 original Carter Family songs.
