Subject: Lyr Req: 'Dossie Lee' From: Cruiser Date: 29 Jul 03 - 11:43 PM "Dossie Lee" is bluegrass song similar to "Wild Mountain Flowers for Mary". I learned the latter tune from an old fiddler at a jam session. He asked if he cound sing a tune but his fiddlin' was so good we kinda ignored him until it was about time to go. He then started singing the tune and I was mesmerized by his voice. His voice was as sonorous as his fiddle. I never saw that old man again and that was about 6 or 7 years ago. Gifted people like that (especially fiddlers!) should live forever. This life is enriched by meeting people such as him and if I could only see and hear his voice and fiddle again... |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Dossie Lee' From: Cruiser Date: 30 Jul 03 - 01:26 AM I am eventually going to get the November Rain CD because that is the only CD I've seen that has 'Dossie Lee'. There are some other good tracks on the volume also. Thanks. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Dossie Lee' From: Cruiser Date: 13 Aug 03 - 02:02 PM Thanks Jim. My kinfolk are (or air, ifin' yur frum Tennis-say) from Harriman, Tenn. (Just kiddin', you Volunteers!) My grandpappy was a farmer/moonshiner there before the TVA era. I loved hisn' non-standard English, as you can tell from this note. Dossie Lee was a "poplar" hillbilly name fur the fillie "ginder" back in them southern backwood deep, dark, hollars. I think it is a beautiful name and if I have another child I think I'm agonna' name her...... ... Sue! (JK,again). Seriously, I am going to get the CD (available only by snail-mail though) because of the great bluegrass music, including Dossie Lee. I have never seen that track listed on another CD and the song probably has not been covered by anyone else. Cruiser |
