[dcab-l] All Mixed Up Live: You’ve Heard My Voice (and You Know My Name)

All Mixed Up Live:   You’ve Heard My Voice (and You Know My Name)

 

Songwriters & Music Lovers:

 

Here is an All Mixed Up live cover of  Greenwich Village folk singer Art Podell’s

gripping spiritual You’ve Heard My Voice from his definitive solo performance on his 2014

vinyl FolkWorks release From the Village to the Canyon, a Songwriter’s Journey.

 

However, the song was originally written in the 1960s with his songwriting partner Walter

Schorr, known together as: Art & Paul. (Interestingly, Art Podell was an original member

of The New Christy Minstrels!)

 

This song has also been covered by Glenn Yarbrough, Celeste, Bob Cook, and Judi

Resnick.

 

Barry Wendell’s live vocal and guitar performance is notably powerful!  I added the driving

bass after the original live recording.

 

All Mixed Up musicians:

 

Barry Wendell       Lead Vocal & Rhythm Guitar

Ed Schaeffer         Lead Guitar, Harmony & Bass

   You’ve Heard My Voice

Art & Paul

 

You Heard My Voice

You Heard My Voice

And you know My Name

 

If you've ever kissed in the summer rain
Slept where the winds and the snows have lain
If you've ever heard a lonely train
Then you've heard My voice
And
youknowMy name

If you'vebowed your headand you're filled with pride
And learned of death when a bird has died
And you’ve tasted tears when a child has cried
Then you've heard My voice
And you know My name

You've heard My voice in the winds of spring
Seen my face where the roses cling
I am the touch that the warm rains bring
I make my home in the heart of everything

In the driving rain of a summer squall
When the summer is gone, the petals fall
When the day is done and the Night Birds call
Then you've hear My voice and You know my Name

 

You've heard My voice in the winds of spring
Seen my face where the roses cling
I am the touch that the warm rains bring
I make my home in the heart of everything

In the driving rain of a summer squall
When the summer is gone, the petals fall
When the day is done and the Night Birds call….


Then you've hear My voice and You know my Name

Then you've hear My voice and You know my Name

You know My name

Wheels of Love was written by Margie Plant.  She (with partner Terry Lee Sann)

lives in Baltimore, but formerly from Nashville, TN.  Quirky and flawed, but adorable

and talented.

 

First release of Wheels of Love was by Emmylou Harris in October, 1990.  In

1992, It was covered by Nové Schovanky (also known as the Sally Rose Band?) on

the CD:  v hlavÄ›. That band, originating in Czechoslovakia, is known as one of the

oldest all-female country bands in the region; their version is sung in Czech.

(As always, turn up and headphones preferred)

 

    Wheels of Love  F (D up 3)

           Margie Plant

 

The wheels of love turn around and around

Keep on rollin' 'til you've found

The perfect partner, somebody just right

To have and hold every day and every night

 

So he's halfway to Texas with all of your dreams

The world ain't as bad as what it might seem

You got a whole lot of living, honey, left to do

There's still a whole lot of love inside of you

 

Chorus:

The wheels of love turn around and around

Take you for a ride like a merry-go-round

Don't let the heartache hold you down

When there's plenty of love to left be found

On the wheels, ridin' on the wheels of love

 

Break:

 

Catch you a ride, imagine what you might find

Just the right boy at just the right time

Ready and waiting, he'll look you in the eyes

Ah, but the wheels of love will never compromise

So he broke your heart, honey don't look back

You got to keep on rollin' down the track

And maybe the next time you'll keep your feet on the ground

When the wheels of love spin you around

 

Chorus:

Chorus: 3 Part Ending: V,I                 V-I,     V-IV…I

[dcab-l] Southern Maryland Bluegrass

Southern Maryland Bluegrass-Final Show for the Season and Going Retro!

CALIFORNIA, MD, April 6, 2026—The Southern Maryland Bluegrass Concert Series is winding down with the highly anticipated performance by The Kody Norris Show. This event was originally scheduled for February 1 and was canceled due to weather but is taking place on Sunday, May 3, 2026, at the Calvert Elks in Prince Frederick, located at 1015 Dares Beach Road. The concert is set to begin at 2:00 PM.

Whatever you do, don't call The Kody Norris Show 'retro'. While the reigning SPBGMA Entertainers of the Year are known for the rhinestones and fringe, they seem to resurrect the memories of times gone by, The Kody Norris Show are very much directing their gaze forward forever.

The talented group, made up of frontman Kody Norris, 14 year old, Hayden “Jim” Hensley on banjo, Mary Rachel Nalley-Norris on fiddle and mandolin, and Charlie Lowman on bass, finds themselves with a growing legion of fans craving the comfort that comes from their retro look and dynamic sound – all of which can be heard throughout their epic new album, “Highfalutin Hillbilly”.

There is a whole chapter of country music that's just kind of faded away and the Kody Norris Show is putting back what’s been missing in the entertainment business for decades. And that is the showmanship! They have been instrumental in bringing back some of that nostalgia and the classic look that country music and bluegrass music used to have.

Kody Norris, the founder of this electrifying four-piece band from Mountain City, Tennessee when but once a youngster who would spend hours sitting in the passenger seat of his Uncle Jack’s Chevrolet El Camino listening to the music of The Stanley Brothers 16 Greatest Hits tape, wondering if he would ever be able to match the sweet harmonies coming through those speakers.  It was those very harmonies that Norris would recognize wavering through the rafters of the Baptist church he attended as a kid. There was a Bluegrass quartet that would play in the Free Will Baptist Church, and soon Norris became infatuated with the music of a banjo and a guitar.

Their music is high energy, from the hard driven sounds of Bluegrass to the old-time clawhammer style of banjo pickin’ that fits right into their style that they are known for across the country. It’s like musical magic at its finest. They were once part of two weekly programs on the acclaimed RFD-TV's network, The Cumberland Highlanders Show and The Bluegrass Trail.

[dcab-l] Jack Sanower's Banjo Classic: Sledd Ridin'

Jack Sanower’s Banjo Classic:   Sledd Ridin’

 

Songwriters & Music Lovers:

 

Here is a Rattlesnake Hill practice version of the Dale Sledd authored banjo classic: Sledd

Ridin’.

 

Dale Sledd was a guitarist and vocalist with The Osborne Brothers from 1966 through

1977.  Born in Benton County, Missouri, Sledd died in 2016 at the age of 78.  After leaving

the Osborne Brothers, Dale worked with Grandpa Jones, and later with the Silverado

Band. He had worked earlier with his wife Patsy as a vocal duo.

 

The first recording and first release was by the Osborne Brothers (August 8, 1973 and

December 24, 1973), with Sonny Osborne playing banjo lead.

 

This is another chance to hear Jack Sanbower’s banjo.  This was a “1-take”, no overdubs,

and includes Jack and Heather talking during the practice.  Jack’s mastery of the banjo is

stunning, as well as Kevin Conroy’s guitar lead. 

 

Rattlesnake Hill Musicians:

 

Jack Sanbower     Banjo

Ed Schaeffer         Rhythm Guitar & Vocal

Carolyn Kellock     Bass

Heather Twigg      Fiddle & Harmony

Kevin Conroy        Lead Guitar
