At the 7:00 a.m. this morning at St. Mary's (my parish), the entrance hymn was "For All the Saints" but my pastor, Fr. Pete, preached on "When the Saints Go Marchin' In." And that wonderful stuff from Revelation.

As far as I know, the earliest version of "When the Saints Go Marching In" was recorded by Blind Willie Davis, a country blues guitarist, in 1928. You can listen to a good recording of it here. The hymn was part of the repertoire of the Old Fashioned Revival Hour Chorus Choir, of which my mother was a member.
