We're at the home of Mr. Freeman Boatright at Richmond View, Arkansas. We 're singing some spirituals and we 've just sung one of Mr. Boasright's own compositions. It was called My Prayer. The next, song will be Precious Memories. Precious memories ... angels that from somewhere to my soul, How they linger ever near me and the sacred paths unfold; Precious memories, how they linger, how they ever flood my soul, In the stillness of the midnight, precious sacred scenes of old. As I travel on life's pathway, know not what the end may hold, As I ponder ... precious memories flood my soul, Precious memories, how they linger, how they ever flood my soul, In the stillness of the midnight, precious sacred scenes of old. Mitch..That was a quartet composed of Mr. Sheridan Johnson, Mr. Ray Pitts, Mrs. Mona Cobb, Mr. Tom Cobb.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation
