When God Comes And Gathers His Jewels

A sad old Hank Williams' song - kind of a Gospel. Dedicated to those of us who have lost our moms and to those of us who dread the day it will happen.

A friend's mom had died and i cleaned up a bit to go to the visitation.

Bummer. I had not worn that shirt in a while and had a tough time getting the collar buttoned. Do shirts shrink in the closet?

Thanks, Ruth.  That good old gal's body was worn out and her soul is Heaven bound.  

Ha!   So true, Smiling!

Nicely don John. Sorry to hear about your friends Mom. It is always tough letting go.

Thanks, Paul.  I'm getting close to having a Gospel written- just hard to get it right!

Nice job, Uncle John, love the song, sound and look ... everything! That suit "suits" you, makes you look like one of those genuine old-timer bluesmen! Keep up the good work. :)

I learned this song from a Merle Haggard Gospel CD.   I tried off and on to do it and never could until the day I made the vid.

Thanks, Clock - I like that photo of you and me.   Thanks Smiley and Jason and Steve.

Muddy, Wes, James and James O-  I think it must be the Chinese made clothes that shrink in the closet. 

Thanks Jeff.   Jim, seems like the older we get the easier we get teary.
