    If these harmonies don't make you feel something . . . That just means we have different tastes in music, and there's nothing wrong with that

      There might be "nothing wrong with that" on a moral and ethical level, but this music is a fundamental part of my being, which means that "that" still makes a big difference to me.

    I Miss You Do Daddy, He left this plane 1year ago this past Christmas Eve 2022..I Love you the Most Dad!
    He loved Bill Monroe....
    I got him a CD a few years back from the Hall of Fame Museum in Indiana. Our people is from Kentucky and our people settled this land, starting in the east. Even before the Mayflower and even after....

    I saw him sing this song as a child in Beanblossom, IN. It was one of the great honors of my life to hear such a master sing from the heart.

    This song was one of the songs frequently used on a '60s show on tv called "Then Came Bronson" about a man drifting from town to town on his motorcycle. Michael Parks stared as Bronson. A great tv show also.

    Boy this sure is missing the Appalachian fiddle of Kenny Baker. He and Bill played this tune at a festival near Berea, Kentucky and I have yet to hear the like of it done since. It was the truest mountain spiritual I have ever heard.

    I love the song for the most part, BUT we should be most excited to go home to see our Savior, not our earthly parents. To which will not be our parents any longer, it will be different in the Spiritual realm. If your looking forward to getting there to see your "parents" or a person,,,rather than the Yehovah God or his Son Yehosuha, (Jesus), then maybe your salvation is in man, instead of the Savior, the one who died and shed his BLOOD for you!! :(

      @@klasicnaifolklor I believe JW. Use a J. Anyway I am searching for his true name, I humbly say I no longer believe his name is Yehovah. I apologise.. I now believe it to be Yah. Still searching for truth, but at least I'm praying and searching. Many never go beyond their man made boxes.
