Hi Rambler. I'm afraid my information on Charlie Moore and his "rewrite" is pretty anecdotal. I'm not very good at copying websites and such but I think a perusal of the Bluegrass sites on the net will turn up some information on the "awards" the song won. One of the inherent problems is that liner notes on Bluegrass recordings tend to be woefully inadequate. The companies never expected that their listeners would even be interested in who's playing on the recordings other than the "front man". There should be lots of info on The Country Gentlemen, and their longest member, Charlie Waller.

Sorry I can't be of more help. What I'd do in this case though would be to find a way of contacting Charlie (shouldn't be that hard) and asking him what he knows. My guess is that he won't know too much about the background though. Worth a try.

Rick
