12/9/2005 Dear All:
I actually had to search for "Christmas Time's a Comin'" done by my uncle William. I have it on a record album & a cassette-I can play the cassette tape & it is really VERY good. It's as good as any I'd heard even though I don't think my tape is in top condition. I replayed the Stanley Brothers version also & that one can't be beat either. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a CD of this song by Monroe? I've only checked a couple of places, but didn't turn the cassette up in the form of a CD. Thanks..... Keep loving bluegrass & mountain music, it's the best music in the world! Cordially your friend, Doris. Quoting "Lloyd, Bruce" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: " " " " " " " " To Webmaster... You are welcome to post this on your site. Thank you. " " " " One of my favorites will always be "Christmas Time's A Coming" written " " by the famous Tex Logan, and performed by Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass " " Boys... I forget the actual date but I remember hearing this in the late " " 50's sometime. Bill's amazing strong tenor voice just lifted that number " " up to the heights that it deserved, and of course Bill's mandolin break " " was super, and forget about the fiddle break. It was just phenomenal. " " " " I later met Tex after he got his Phd from MIT, and was living over in " " Morris County, NJ while he was working at Bell Laboratories. It was the " " super hero (in this area) for bluegrass promotion work Doug Tuchman who " " got Tex (amazing fiddle player) to come into the city to help out " " Charlie Moore who was coming through and put on a great show in New York " " City at New York University Law School.
