Note to Alex: I had a weird dream last night about some person I think was you, though how would I know, since I have no idea what you look like? Do you have black hair? No, it was nothing disturbing or salacious. More of an Ambien theme, vague. :o|
So tell me about this dream you had....
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.
