Old Time Revivals

Who knew that, in the early 1950s, revivals were held in country churches in August? Special music far different from “Sunday Morning” music was usually provided. Particularly memorable was Mr. Glasgow playing his saw at Gum Springs Cumberland Presbyterian Church one hot night. The haunting wail of the saw combined with the night noises wafting in the open windows gave me goose bumps. Submitted by Ray Harding.
