It is really great to hear from you. I did not know what had happened to you because I had not heard from you in a long time. Thanks for the nice comment and compliment. Great to see that you was here.
@sumiller1982 OKAY GO INTO GOOGLE AND TYPE IN FALLEN LEAVES LYRICS BY PORTER WAGONER. I FOUND IT THERE AND TRIED TO COPY AND PASTE IT IN THE SONG. I COULD NOT GET BOTH VERSES IN THERE. GREAT TO HAVE A NEW LISTENER STOP BY. IF U CAN'T FIND IT LET ME KNOW AND SEND ME YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS AND I WILL SEE IF I CAN SEND IT TO YOU THAT WAY.
Thanks Darlene I did not mean to come across as saying anything negative in my comment, it was Joe Mullins singing it at SPBGMA that I got the idea that Granpa might have gotten this great song while attending a funeral.... you think?
Hi Darlene: Just ran across this one, and listening, to one of your older, and I do love this song and the Primitives are just wonderful. Thanks for sharing, my dear friend. I hope all is well on your end. God Bless. Gwen
I grew up in the 70's & 80's in Southern OH with my grandparents. I remember when Grandma had cancer and knew she wasn't long for the earth. She asked for this song to be played at her funeral. That little white church on the hill was so packed, I don't think I'd ever seen that many people in one place. There truly were more friends around than leaves upon the ground. Thanks for putting this up.
In loving heartfelt memory of my dad's late boss Fermin Wade Jr.The founder of Wade's Body and Frame shop that is in my Hometown.They played this at his Funeral.He was a good man.He has more friends now then leaves upon the ground.
this brings back so many memories....my mother used to sing this on dad's radio program, " The Old Folks and Shut - Ins Hour". in West Virginia., years ago.
Thanks so very much for the nice comment. I am glad you like their music. I do not have the song that you wanted me to post, sorry. I know it would be a good one for sure.
Thanks so very much for the nice comment. Sometimes I think they do know they are going to pass away. It seems like your MOM was very young. May God bless you always. It is always nice to have a new listener stop by.
Thanks for the kind words. Yes, 45 seems very young to me now that I'm 32. I really love the primitive quartet, I've got to see them sing in person. It was a very beautiful and moving experience.
I just live 15 minutes from Hominy Valley. That's where I saw them many years ago. So it was easy for me to see them. But believe me it would be worth a trip.
Thanks so very much Ernest for the nice comment and I am glad you was touched by it. It is always nice to have a new listener stop by. Please check out some of my other videos and a couple of poems that I just put on here last night.
Thanks again June so very much for the words you wrote here. We came into the world with nothing and we will leave with nothing. Have you watched my video Eternity Has Two???
Thanks for the post. This song was song by a frind of mine in meny church's Would love to hear him sing it again. But He is singing with the angles now. Great song, and love the Primitive. Would you have them singing I was that man?
Thanks so very much for the nice comment. Glad you enjoy their singing. NO, I do not have that one but I will do some checking and see if I can find it for you. There is another you tuber that has a lot of their songs on here.
Thanks so very much for the nice comment. One of these days I will posting some more by them. Keep checking back. It is always nice to have a new listener stop by.
Great Video to a wonderful song. If you get to see them live, you will surely be BLESSED!!! I saw them June 13 of this year and I am going to see them again July 17 in Cleveland, TN.
Thanks so very much for the nice comment. I am glad that you got to see them and will get to see them again. I have another CD that I will be putting some more videos on of them later. It is always great to have a new listener.
I love this song, I love to hear these guys sing and I love the message... Also, this may be the only Primitive Quartet song to have a pedal steel guitar in it. And, yes, Grandpa Jones did write this.
I will never forget the first time I heard these guys - about 32 years ago to be exact... and it was this song -
It just blew me away - it was so simple and clean that it was actually Profound. This was written by Granpa Jones, and probably one of the best messages in song I've ever heard. "The only thing you'll take is what you gave away..."
The bass player, Bruce Penland had a style that was - and still is my guiding inspiration.
I love this song, it sure has a message in it. The Primitive quartet are from the same area I am . They have a singing in the fall here. There are not many singer like them. They sing the old fashion way of singing. I guess that would be the proper way to say it. Thanks for sharing these beautiful songs.
Ok.. this is my last note on The Primitive - lol.. promise.
But to see them in person.. is something else.. There are no recordings that do them justice. It's a phenominal experience, and they bring an energy to the stage that just can't translate into CD. It'll be worth the trip!
Thanks so very much for another nice comment and you can leave one any time. You are right I bet they do a great job in person. ARE you going to see them??? If so have a good time.
I saw the Primitives last week and they pulled out this old song by request by someone at the church, flawlessly, might I add. Great group....no one like them.
Thanks so very much for the nice comment. It is always good to hear from some one new. That was great that you got to see them. I don't think I have ever saw them in person.
It is a pleasure to log on and find such nice comments on my videos. Thanks so very much and for the stars also. I really appreciate you taking the time to listen.
Thanks Colin so very much for another faithful and nice comment and for the stars also. I have 4 people here on you tube that has commented on every one of my videos that I have made and that I really do appreciate.
I am so glad taht you did this song I had planned to do this one as when I was a dj on the radio I played this many times ,I had one man who asked for this one every week end when I was on and I always would play it for him ,He has been in Heaven many years now.You get a 5**** for a great job on this great song.
Loves these guys ..... just went and seen them live last nite
