Subject: One more Carter Family request From: campfire Date: 23 Aug 99 - 06:01 PM A friend of mine used to do a song that he said was Carter Family in origin. I've looked in the DT and elsewhere, but since I don't remember it exactly, haven't had any luck yet. I know there are Carter Family Fans here that can help... It goes something like: Send me no flowers (roses?) after I'm gone... Thanks, campfire By the way, I like the new page added in for starting a new thread, asking if all the obvious has been done.

Subject: RE: One more Carter Family request From: Pete Peterson Date: 24 Aug 99 - 07:02 PM Dear Campfire, PLEASE learn the song and spread it around. It is one of my favorites-- have been trying for some years to put a set of "secular gospel" songs together & this is one of the best. |
Subject: RE: One more Carter Family request From: campfire Date: 24 Aug 99 - 08:23 PM I enjoyed hearing it, too. I can't beleive I never bothered to learn it when my friend was performing it. I guess I thought I could just listen forever... If anyone has the chords, it would save me a lot of time - I'm NOT very good at playing by ear. Thanks again, all, campfire See Give Me the Roses |
