This book was released on 2019-02-02 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Fashioned Hymns and Mountain Ballads It is here I met Asher Sizemore in the heart of Pike County with its 789 square miles of mountain picturesqueness, with Society in the process of transition so rapid in places as to leave one breathless at times. It was on a Good Friday night, at the altar of a beautiful Community Church, the sacred shrine of the worshippers of twelve different Denominations, that I laid my arm about the shoulders of this fine young man, who was bowing in humble submission to the Will' of God, and pronounced the blessings of the Church upon him. At the time he was engaged in the Accounting Department of a large Coal Company and I was its Religious Educational Director. I am sure you need no words now, to explain just why I am writing these few lines. Sometime, somewhere, in the poetic nature of this mountain youth was born the seed of song. It must have often come to the verge of its unfolding. He must have often felt the fire of the coming flower. One day, we know not when, but it was a blessed day, a mighty inspiration smote the soul of this youth of the Kentucky Mountains, and out of the silence the seed burst into blossom, on which day he gave the world his lyrical trust. A lyric which has sung and played itself, by the aid of the voice of sweet little jimmie into the hearts of countless thousands and will continue until its musrc melts away and blends with the harmonies of another world.

Download or read book A Bundle of Ballads Classic Reprint written by Ruth Manning-Sanders and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-21 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Bundle of Ballads People in those far-off days liked stories just as much as people do now; and because they had few books or none, and for the most part could not read, they delighted in the visits of the minstrels, who roamed the country from one great lord's house to another, singing their stories and accompanying themselves on the harp. The stories the minstrels sang were On familiar themes; stories of well-known battles, of historic raids and captures and daring rescues, of the deeds of bold outlaws, of gallant lovers, and of that mysterious realm of magic that hung like a shimmer ing mist behind all the busy doings of mankind. Of these old ballads no one can say when any particular one was composed, or who was the author of it. One minstrel, hearing the song from another, would take a fancy to it and sing it again, inventing his own lines when his memory failed him, adding new verses according to his fancy, and perhaps giving the story a slightly different twist to suit his audience.
