A.P. Carter playing guitar and singing "No Telephone In Heaven" on Border Radio. XET 1939.

The Carter Family radio

LYRICS:

Now I can't wait on baby the smiling merchant said

As stooped and softly toyed with his golden curly head

I want to call up mamma came the answer full and free

Will you telephone and ask her when she's coming back to me

My child the merchant murmured as he stroked the anxious brow

No telephone connection where your mother lives at now

No telephone in heaven and a tear sprang in her eyes

I thought God had everything with him up in the sky

Tell her that I get so lonesome that I don't know what to do

And pappa cries so much I guess he must be lonesome too

Tell her to come to baby cause at night I get so 'fraid

With no one there to kiss me when the lights begin to fade

That's a bleating vocal sound from a member of the real flock.

Sorry. I was under the impression that were reasonably intelligent. My mistake.

I really love simple pure yet deep instrumentals and lyric. I so wish that there had been a way to sufficiently let the members of the early Carter family to know of what worth their music has been to traditional & so-called "primitive" American folk & origins of country music almost 100 yrs later.. show them something like the music or the film O Brother & the inspiration the Carter family are, to artists such as Allison Krauss, Union Station and the phenomenal Gillian Welch/ D Rawlings

I thoroughly understand what singing lead is. I sing in quartets and trios (not very well), so of course I understand the construct of a lead vocal and the surrounding harmony parts. Also, I did not refute you ... I was just was just expressing a wish for more definitive info, which you supplied. Thank you.

Maybelle is singing lead. I don't want to be rude but you don't seem to understand what singing a lead vocal is. Believe what you wish. I have talked to Sara's daughter and granddaughter so I am not relying on the Zwonitzer book - I am relying on something known as your word being your bond.

I've heard that said before, and someone referenced the Zwonitzer book, but that book merely says Maybelle's teenage voice is prominent, not that she sang lead, nor does "prominence" necessarily imply that she sang lead. I've listened many times, but it's hard to tell: Sara's voice was much higher back then; also, the recording's primitive quality makes it hard for the ear to extricate.

Maybelle sings lead on Bury Me Beneath the Willow on the Bristol Session recordings.

Maybelle did sing lead on a pressing from the very first Bristol recordings.

AP and Sara are not buried together. They are in the same graveyard (Mt. Vernon) several rows apart. The site next to AP was reserved for his daughter Jeanette and is sadly now occupied. The headstones of rose colored granite used for AP and Sara is the same and there is a record with the title Keep on the Sunny Side on them. The family brought her back to Poor Valley but I believe it was her wish to be buried with Coy Bayes (Bays) her husband.

I can't think of one in the early career. Maybelle was not who AP was in love with so of course she didn't get the solos.
