There are some songs that everyone should know. Especially if they love singing early country music. I'm gonna post the lyrics for them here, along with the songwriter's name, the name of the artist who made it famous, and hopefully a link to the song. If I can't find the original version, I'll pick one as close to as it as possible.
If you love this music as much as me, you should come to Early Country Music week at the Augusta Heritage Center, in Elkins, West Virginia. For a week straight, you can learn to sing and play this complex, beautiful and exciting music from some masters. The great Ginny Hawker is coordinating the week, and she's lined up an exciting week of instructors. I will be helping Ginny out during the week, and will take up residency on the porch of Halliehurst mansion, singing the old songs as late into the night as I can manage. Enjoy!
