Two Coats.wmv

Mountain gospel song recorded by Ralph Stanley; also by Patty Loveless. The basis for the allegory presented by this old song can be found in Ephesians 4: 21-24 and in I Corinthians 15:47-49. When you think about it what's the choice? Why do we so want to hang onto our "old coat?" Lack of trust? Lack of faith? We have actually nothing worthwhile to lose, and everything to gain.

@glendagail1 Thank you, Glenda. I was raised where the Piedmont meets the Blue Ridge in N.C. I have very similar memories of home and my dad playing his banjo. He used a very old style of picking, thumb and first finger only. As a kid I did not respect the tradition that he upheld. I wish I could go back and study with him. We get too soon old and too late smart.

@don62snodgrass You're very kind, Don. Thank you. No one knows my shortcomings more than me, but I love singing hymns to my Best Friend, and I'm grateful for every day He gives me.

@Confederado1 Well its better to at least get smart later rather than never!! I must amitt tho, I always loved the old songs,,and it made me a little sad to hear them later and remember the good times that was gone, I liked a lot of the oldies,, I never could sing, and grandma said( with snuff coming out the conner of her mouth) Honey you and I will just get into the movies"! ha...

thanks for your email and keep up the good singing and playing,,
