Whispering Forest from the CallyFest Gospel Stage

This is an old country gospel song I have seen called "Whispering Forest", though it seems the original title is "I thought of God". It was written by Marijohn Wilkin. Porter Wagoner released his recording of the song in 1959. There are some great versions by Foghorn Stringband more recently. Thank you for listening!

Thank you very much Bob! Nothing like a good old fashioned song, they don't write them much like this anymore.

I  believe this is the first time I've heard this song Derek.  You did an awesome job on both instruments and vocals.  I agree with Richard.  This fits your voice better than OJ's glove fit him.

Thanks for the generously kind comments Rick! I may do heathen tune next to complete the heaven and hill twin bill. One of the roadies offered to trade a bundle of toilet paper for my banjo but haven't decided if that was a legit offer or a slam  :)

This is right in your wheelhouse Derek! Thanks for a bit of history on the song. You can certainly include this version in its history. Beautiful and heartfelt. One of the bright spots on the popular gospel open mic, great presentation! Hope there’s more tunes from you as the big weekend approaches.

Hi Dave, thank you very much! My dad always teased me the church roof would blow off when I would go! Enjoying your road stories and illustrations.

Hi Andries! I have been listening to lots of bluegrass and old time so can't help but absorb some gospel. Thanks a bunch!
