OLD TIME HYMNS - Washington Bluegrass Gazette, March-April 2000 Betty Jane Dodrill "This CD is a collection of old time hymns done in old time style. 'Power in the Blood' is a good instrumental. 'When the Roll is Called Up Yonder' - this song is done in a very lively manner with good old time banjo and harmonica. 'When We All Get To Heaven' - the upbeat is quite pronounced with good old timey banjo playing. 'A Bit of Humor' comes to mind each time I hear this song. Growing up in the Appalachia Hills of Virginia, this seemed to be a favorite, sung each Sunday when I went to Sunday School as a small child. At one time, the sheriff of the county was a gentleman by the name of Victor Meade. The congregation would always sing as loud as possible, 'When We All Get To Heaven, we will sing and shout to victory.' When we got home from church, I asked my dad why we always had to sing and shout to 'Victor Meade', as to a child's ear, the 'victoreeee' seemed to be coming out Victor Meade! 'Softly and Tenderly' is complimented by the harmonica and the old time zither sure fits with 'The Old Rugged Cross'. A good gospel instrumental."
