As a "Preachers' kid" I grew up the son of one, and the grandson of one.
My whole life, from womb to adulthood has been filled with singing the old hymns; choir directing; solo performances; group performances; playing organ or piano or guitar or trombone in church; singing in a choir, etc...
I notice at the local "jam" I've been going to, over the last two years +, that a lot of the tunes are "the old hymns" I learned years ago, just sped up a tad.
It's made me seek out my memory banks, as well as my old "Singspiration Songbook" and an old Hymnbook, to re-remember the old songs.
What "standards" do YOU perform or play that were from the old Hymnbook, and how did you alter it for Bluegrass?
