    I am an Indian, from INDIA. I probably am the ONLY INDIAN who loves Bluegrass gospel the most, in India. I love this music so much, that i married a Southern Belle from Florida, to pursue my dream of being an American and listen to Bluegrass music all day. It was my Dad who introduced me to American music since i was child in India. My Dad was a great fan of Country music, and that love got developed in me as well, as every morning before i could go to school, i would listen to cassettes of Country Music, of the likes Johnny Cash, Don Williams and Jim Reeves. My Dad passed away in Jan 2016, his dream was to visit a country music concert. Being in India, we can never enjoy, country music, as no bands visit India. As a potential Immigrant to America, in the future, i want to see a Bluegrass gospel concert, someday. In memory of my Dad, i give this honor to the beautiful music of America. Thank you for what you do, and GOD BLESS Y'ALL, and GOD BLESS AMERICA.

    Sounds good, though I'll bet that Joseph Scriven never envisaged his hymn being performed like this. A fellow Banbridge man, from County Down in Northern Ireland, Joseph Scriven penned this hymn to comfort his mother, who was missing him after he emigrated to USA.
    Another Ulster man worth checking out is Alexander Irvine, a missionary to the Bronx who came from Pogue's Entry in Antrim. He wrote a book entitled "My Lady of the Chimney Corner" dedicated to his mother.

      Carola Wingert A couple of issues, I`m not proud, or for that matter ashamed with regard to my lack of faith in the supernatural. It is just how I am. The other point, I`ve absolutely no desire whatsoever to achieve immortality. I`d like to live to be 160 and be fit and healthy right up until then but with our current medical science that isn`t going to happen. Maybe in a century or two if we`ve not screwed up the human race by then. The idea though of immortality to me is scary and absurd in equal measures.
