Farther Along
- It was written by W.B. Stevens-J.R. Baxter ©1938 Stamps-Baxter Music
Happy Birthday
- Many question the validity of the current copyright, as the melody of the song
was most likely borrowed from other popular songs of the time, and the lyrics
were improvised by a group of five and six-year-old children who never received
any compensation.[10]
The song is currently set to pass in to the public domain in 2030.

Honey Boy- written by
Louis Franklin.
http://www.fiddlersfrolics.com/halloffame/lfranklin.htm
"Lewis (actually Louis) was born in 1923. _____ was wondering the
whereabouts of Louis Franklin, and I'm happy to report that he's doing just
fine. He's not playing as much as he used to, but when he gets warmed up real
good (a few tunes and maybe a couple of beers), he still plays fantastic. We
played together 2 or 3 months ago and he played so good it gave me cold
chills.
"Louis was in a 1991 TV movie called West Texas Wind. It starred Dolly
Parton as, get this, a country singer. The members of Asleep at the Wheel
played her band. Larry Franklin, typecast as the fiddle player, brought his
dad, played by Louis, to the studio where he (Louis) played a tune for them
until the manager Ben Rayson (played with incredible authority by Ray Bensons)
came in and broke it up."
I'll
Fly Away - This song was written by Albert E. Brumley and is under copyright*
*"Yes,
this is part of "I'll Fly Away" which is still owned and under
copyright by us. The actual words however are: 'One Glad morning when this life
was o'er...' Many people have substituted the word bright, but it is actually
glad."
Best Wishes,
