11 Oct 02 - 10:34 PM (#801529) Subject: Lyr Add: ELKHORN RIDGE (from J Stecher & K Brislin From: Stewie I can't find it on any of the Ashley recordings that I have. It is not on the Watson and Ashley set of 'Old Time Music at Clarence Ashley's'. I have a version by Jody Stecher and Kate Brislin as a delightful banjo duet. Their source was Oscar Wright but, as they say, sounds like 'Roscoe Holcomb meets Hank Bradley'. ELKHORN RIDGE
Standing on top of old Elkhorn Ridge
Yonder stands my own true
Working on your county road
Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy
Standing on top of old Elkhorn Ridge Source: transcription from Jody Stecher and Kate Brislin 'Blue Lightning' Rounder CD 0284. I hope this is of some use to you. --Stewie. |
