This brought back some great old memories of my Dad and his buddies sitting by the fireplace, passing the bottle and harnonizing, my Dad was the Bass, Uncle Horsecake was the baritone, Uncle John (New York) usually sang the lead and Uncle Ernie was the tenor. Mama usually chimed in on the gospel songs. "Gee, but I'd give to world to see, that old gang of mine."
