Bible in a Year with Fr Mike Schmitz, well reading along with it. Cheers
I've been working my way through these great videos of "Sugarfoot" revisiting Michael Jacksons songs and other covers. For those who don't know Sugarfoot was MJ's drummer for all his music and he is just so precise in everything he does, quite magnificent. MJ once said "the base makes mistakes, acoustic makes mistakes, I make mistakes but Sugarfoot never does"
Asher Sizemore, father of Little Jimmie Sizemore, heard Roy Acuff sing How Beautiful Heaven Must Be and was determined to not cheat somebody out of their song. So he looked up and found the author, A P Bland, paid for it, and became famous singing it.
It is one of the most treasured sacred songs today among those of us that sing everything through our noses.
It is absolutely required to know, because it is sure to be requested .

The greatest hit of the classic twang era was LeRoy Van Dyke’s 1961 Walk on By.
He had two other hits, but Walk on By made him wealthy and famous for life. It’s 19 weeks at number 1 hit status held until some modern dirt bags getting drunk on a gravel road country song eclipsed it 51 years later.
The way my mother explained the lyrics to three year old me was the man had one girlfriend but he thought he might like to have a new girlfriend.
Enjoy:
The other two essential Leroy Van Dyke hits to know.
(Mama could not explain this next one. )
Today there are equally talented singers and much, much better musicians:
Twang needs new writers.
There actually was a modern hit song about getting drunk and watching airplanes. My kids made me listen to it.
There’s no comparison between now and then.

Motivated by a recent thread about “concept albums” to ponder it. I realized this, the latest from Dylan, really ranks up there with my favorites.
