Quote from: ChasSmith on April 27, 2016, 06:11:53 AMDR Elmore -- is the requiem something you're actually composing?Partly, but it's all based on Appalachian folksongs and hymns. Several items in the piece are set and some are still in flux, determined by what I can find. The hardest part is finding something funny about death.The layout is something like this: 1. Lonesome Valley - Chorus2. The Unquiet Grave - Solo, Chorus3. Something funny?4. Murder ballad? - Solo and chorus5. Poor Wayfarin’ Stranger - Solo, ChorusOther options:I am a Poor pilgrim of SorrowConversation with DeathKingdom ComeAmazing GraceIf I can't find something funny, I may take the text for "Conversation with Death" and write my own melody. I don;t much like the ones I have, but i like the text.

DR Elmore, where do you get your caps like the one in your avatar?Alby Potts wears something like that when he's playing. Hey, maybe that could be my Ask BK.I need one but have no idea where to look and know they're of halfway decent quality.
The name in the cap is "Country Gentleman":http://www.hats.com/shop/country_gentleman.html?CAWELAID=120173250000000387&CAPCID=63364437147&cadevice=c&agid=19815295947&catci=kwd-3706998817&gclid=CjwKEAjwxoG5BRCC7ezlzNmR8HUSJAAre36jVSKvAj-4Rgjtl3mpHMr9nr45IGTYard6SPiK5jN3ABoCmu7w_wcB

Elmore, is there an Appalachian take on Go Tell Aunt Rhody?
Listening to Sondheim at the Movies while working. Nice work, BK and Elmore.
We were promised calm seas, and that is what we had last night and this morning.
Larry - Does it need to be a public domain song?

I just read all the reviews for "Tuck Everlasting." I didn't care much about seeing it, but I want to see the final ballet which got most of the praise from every critic.
DR TCB, you are now in the England-Ireland time zone. Wave to my friends as you pass Dublin!
Just paid a couple of ugly bills.Oh yeah, they was ugly. Trust me.
