content: CDR copy Tape Info: FW-ASCH-7RR-2720 through -2725 contain recordings made by Kentucky singer Jim Garland of local singers and church services. FW-ASCH-7RR-2724 features the Brown Family, who call themselves the Kentucky Gospel Singers. They include Walter Brown, the father, who is the singer and guitarist, his son Floyd, who plays double-necked Hawaiian guitar, Ed Fuson, who plays bass, Della Brown (Floyd's wife) and Theda Brown (Walter's daughter). All but the last two songs feature Walter as soloist. The last two songs (not on this CD) are sung by the two ladies. Walter Brown composed about half the songs on the tape. He is a member of the Holiness Church and "goes from place to place visiting churches and singing." Jim Garland prepared a sheet of additional information about the Browns and has also typed out the lyrics, all of which will be retained along with the tape in a new tape box.
