Well, this song has been on repeat for me this week:

[SLADE]

This album does it for me.

 

[Weedygarden]

I love this man's music!

 

[Spikedriver]

Probably my favorite Christian song. Sounds kind of like Springsteen or Mellencamp, but with a message for the heart and soul...

For me the music is intertwined with the who, they are the same. The music was done bluegrass style, sometimes in church, in our homes, sometimes in cemeteries or at celebrations… whenever 3 or 4 pickers happened to be at the same place. So, instead of posting a song I thought I’d post the who… all are folks I’ve picked with for many years, some from the time I was little, 7 or 8. Almost all are gone now, can’t think of the music without thinking of them.

Oh, I’ve enjoyed to the album @SLADE posted many times.

As a single this one makes me want to travel back to better times.

I have several of the WOW CD's. I have a decent stereo system in my car and love to play them, some on repeat, and sometimes loud! It has helped me to learn about Christian singers and performers. There are some lovely songs on those CD's.

When we moved here we met some neighbors and they played this kind of music,really good people too.All great pickers.Hubby liked playing music with them. They have passed now miss talking to the lady and she could really play the dobro and guitar,her hubby played the mandolin and their son and daughter played the guitar. Hubby played all kinds of music,but hasn't played his guitar in a couple years.
I liked this song,played it often for mama when she was passing.She loved the piano and this song,and great pianist as was this guy.

He's the cousin of Jerry lee Lewis.

Yes and both great pianist. Mama liked to play both of their music,she could do one heck of a Great Balls Of Fire .Minus the fire part.

Jerry Lee Lewis - Jimmy Swaggart - Mickey Gilley all were cousins. All had the same piano teacher.

This is one of my favorite songs... there are so many great recordings of this song, I like almost all of them. This is Emmylou Harris w/Chet Atkins playing mandolin for her. I'd never heard this version until I found it this morning... Precious Memories...

One of my all time favorites as well. Quite the all star cast performing; Chet Atkins, Michael McDonald on piano, Mark Knofler on guitar, maybe some others I didn't recognize. I love that song.

Is that last photo a photo of you? Whoever it is, resembles phideaux!

Nope, and he's gone now... he was with me the first time I played on a stage for a big crowd (100+). Also with me was the man in the wheel chair, also gone, very funny man. He once got picked up for public intoxication, they also tried to charge him for driving under the influence since his wheelchair had wheels. The funny part, before they rolled him into the drunk tank they searched him but they didn't check under his cushion. He spent the night in jail with $700 in cash and a .32 revolver.

He was a hoot! The stories he could tell!

@Morgan101 while I was the worship leader at my church we sang Oh Happy Day. There is a closeness between Black Gospel and Southern Gospel and our (mostly) white church did our best to get in the groove with that song! Always makes me happy to hear it.

I grew up Catholic, and I still love that song. Loved to hear it when I was a kid. I loved it when they used it in the movie Secretariat. It was so great to see him thundering down the stretch with that playing. Mahalia Jackson is sitting at the right hand of God. God Bless her soul.

I attended a large inner city church for a decade or so that was racially diverse. The minister was a Messianic Jew. The music was great. The worship team played lots of music that is on the WOW CD's I listen to.

Us sinners are just one sincere prayer away from hell. Thank God. RIP Greg
