Excerpted from the Harvey Reid & Joyce Andersen 6.29.22 livestream. Also known as “Life Is Like A Mountain Railroad,” this is a familiar song in bluegrass gospel circles. The words we don’t sing were written in the 1890s, and it circulated an unknown amount in hymnals, singing schools, camp meetings and rural churches, especially in the South. Open D (Vestapol tuning.)

This is a slightly remixed & re-remastered video of one of over 800 performances Joyce Andersen & Harvey Reid live-streamed in 74 pandemic-era concerts on their YouTube channels. Show #1 aired on April 10, 2020. All music was posted direct-to-internet with one camera, one microphone and in one take. The archive of original, traditional and cover songs & instrumentals features over 90 different combinations of voices & instruments, including 6 & 12-string guitars, electric guitar, autoharp, dobro, lap steel, violin, viola, mandolin, mandocello, 6-string banjo, bouzouki, looper and keyboard. Current plans are to gradually re-release close to 400 individual songs from this remarkable body of music.
