Notes of Blue

Edna Sykes wrote “A Robin Built a Nest on Daddy’s Grave” and Ralph Stanley recorded and released it in 1983. Unfortunately, I only became familiar with it in recent years. Caney Creek Gang finally performed it last Saturday, September 26, at the Rosine Bluegrass Gospel Show.

Last Saturday, September 26, Jerusalem Ridge came out of retirement to perform at the Rosine Bluegrass Gospel Show. In this clip Jackie Tarrance sings lead on “In the Sweet By and By.” She was worried that surgeries had ruined her voice, but I think you’ll agree that “she’s still got it!”

Last Saturday, September 26, at the Rosine Bluegrass Gospel Show, a great time was had! Jerusalem Ridge and the Caney Creek Gang played some powerful, Heaven-sent music for those in attendance. It’s always a good night when we “show” God our love.
