Thank for listening & commenting. I used to listen to Moby, when he did that mix, but i would stop it & keep going back to her part. That's what I loved. HER part! My best to you, Moppet

    Vera Hall singing "Trouble So Hard". It should sound a bit familiar. Moby had a huge hit with this in a mix he made in the 90's. This is from "Sounds of the South" released in 1993. Alan Lomax made many records & field recordings. This cd is a mix of his best. My video is made with all respect and love for past traditions. Enjoy!
    Lyrics for Trouble So Hard as sung by Vera Hall. Lyrics courtesy of elyrics.net:
    Ooh Lordy, troubles so hard
    Ooh Lordy, troubles so hard
    Don't nobody know my troubles but God
    Don't nobody know my troubles but God
    Went down the hill
    Other day
    My soul got happy
    and stayed all day
    Ooh Lordy, troubles so hard
    Ooh Lordy, troubles so hard
    Don't nobody know my troubles but God
    Don't nobody know my troubles but God
    Ooh Lordy, troubles so hard
    Ooh Lordy, troubles so hard
    Went in the room
    Didn't stay long
    Looked on the bed and,
    Brother was dead
    Ooh Lordy, troubles so hard
    Ooh Lordy, troubles so hard
    Don't nobody know my troubles but God
    Don't nobody know my troubles but God
    Ooh Lordy, troubles so hard
    Ooh Lordy, troubles so hard

    Alan Lomax grabó a Vera Hall (1902-1964) en su cocina, el 22 de julio de 1937. En el 1942 este tema fue parte de un disco compilatorio African American Spiritual Work Songs and Ballads.

  • @TheBWJohnson
    @TheBWJohnson 10 лет назад +6

    thanks, Moppet. Where would we be without the music from those that allowed their souls to sing! and for those that had the sense to go out and capture this stuff. so glad to see you around again. will be taking a tour 'round your channel soon after our re-introduction. can tell we have similar taste - music as sustenance, removal of the veil.

    • @MyMoppet52
      @MyMoppet52  10 лет назад +1

      TheBWJohnson Yes we do have similar tastes. I have a lot of several genres though. I love Old Timey, Blues, Old Blues, primitive (gospel & blues), Celtic. I have a huge mix. It was good when utube let you go to the channels & type in genres, artists, songs, and instruments...but now it is a mess. I will have to figure a way so that people can find what they are looking for. I was very ill for a long time. That is why I was gone. I couldn't even sit up to play with the computer. It was pretty bad. Had surgery that is a relatively new process in July & was better immediately. I can walk, sit, cook, visit my grandson. I've had a miracle. I guess I held on long enough for the technology to catch up with me. God kept me here. It IS good to meet my old friends again. My best, Barbara

    • @TheBWJohnson
      @TheBWJohnson 10 лет назад +1

      well, dear Barbara, in a sense, we are all sharing in this miracle. I recalled your old Moppet name from the early days of this ragged old channel and thought it great to see it again. I enjoy all sorts of music. just began uploading this type of song because I didn't see many of that genre; now it's been taken up by more than a few. so I will return to yours when time allows - as the good, noncommercial music is sometimes the one thing that can sustain and speak directly to the soul. So - so glad you're back! And most importantly, healthy... all my best!

There is no copyright law that include each and every recording made through the years. Right now, there are thousands of musical RECORDINGS available that pay no royalties. And some are considered Public Domain.
