Family Bible

Zoomer Roberts: vocal
Buddy Winston: guitar
recorded 17 March 2002 at Desert View United Church of Christ

I first heard this sung by Porter Wagoner, if memory serves. It was written by Willie Nelson back in his hungry years. As far as I know, it doesn't accurately describe his childhood. It doesn't accurately describe mine, either -- the picture it paints is straight out of Norman Rockwell. But it conveys a good message and is constructed in such a way that it's a joy to sing.
