Is there anyone out there that can remeber Grandpappy Campbell doing a poem on his tv show in Knoxville, called If You Go First And I Remain? He did read this poem with the song in the background called Beyond The Sunset. I'll never forget, he had a film showing behind him showing an old lady walking down an old dirt road. It was very moving.

If you can remember this, please write me at jacks763@comcast.net

Oh Lordy...that's my dad...Smoky White on the fiddle and singing lead and our dear friend Luke Brandon on the guitar and singing baritone...and of course Archie singing tenor.....and I believe Dad got that droning sound with double stops on the fiddle...! At any rate...he covered 2 stings with one finger to get those sounds...! Luke is the only one remaining now...! How I miss those guys...! Donna (Smoky's oldest daughter) -for- "Sisters of the Silver Sage"

I recognized the other two great musicians on the video, Smoky White on fiddle and Luke Brandon on guitar. I had the pleasure of playing music with the two of them occasionally back through the years. Luke is still around playing great music. This is a wonderful video, thanks for sharing. Tony
