Even this is our American stories we tell stories about everything here on the show we are to sports and from business to history and everything in between. Clerestory seven our American stories.com that's our American stories.com story comes from a regular contributor Kent Milburn is the author of letters to my son a father's wisdom on manhood wife and love which is a compilation of letters written to his own son should Kent not live to see him into manhood today. Kent shares with us. Another one of his lessons. It's called Craigslist Christian people I know many who are older than a quiet crisis of identity about their place in the world. So especially young women spend their lives subverting their interests and the interests of others until they are not sure whether they have any others very often young men tried desperately to impress others by parading their accomplishments and sense of self-importance in an attempt to make themselves seem somehow all and finish. Still others of both sexes spend their time passing judgment on others stay proceedings different lesson in an attempt to establish their own identity at the expense of others.

At the heart of each is the fear that someone else might pass judgment on who their that they will be unmasked for for the uncertainty to set the record I was younger I was is played with his fears. Anyone else often I would dare not to act for fear of someone judging me. Other times I forced myself into the center of discussions in a pitiful attempt to make sure I was right.

Everything I thought I excluded and demeaned others.

I printed out the weaknesses and inconsistencies as a way of raising myself by lowering those around sometimes. I was aware of it. On the times I was not a chance comment by a friend of mine long after I had reached adulthood before I could begin to lift myself out of the uncertainty that surrounded my sense of self grade was a close friend of mine is one of those people that energy and life and he had an uncanny ability to focus his entire attention on you when you were talking to you suddenly felt more important. My response had started listening better by being around people left and I went to graduate school together a lot in common.

Both were having troubles. Both were seekers both with perhaps too aware of our own good in the sunlight of this on news to each other mentions about being that otherwise we never went sunny autumn day.

We were sitting in our study areas half talking and half working on some now forgotten projects for graduate degrees.

I was staring out the window when I noticed one of my professors walking past the parking lot all summer we not parted on good terms. I had taking benefits is some suggestion he had made and had, in turn, giving good offense in my hands did not see each other since that dammit I said to Craig, and I want to see why not. Craig asked. I explained what happened the previous spring left on bad terms.

I said so I think I just like Craig walked over and looked out at the passing figure wrong. He said one is turning away.

You're just doing that because you're afraid he probably thinks you don't like so is not acting warm toward you.

People are like that.

They like people like you show him you are interested in you'll be interested in you and talk to smart. I walked tentatively down the stairs into the parking lot. I must do my best smile and warmest feelings. My professor asked how his summer again. He looked at me genuinely surprised my warmth and put his arm over my shoulder. We walked off talking out of the corner of my eye I could see Craig smiling broadly process simple. Never seen is coming to all my encounters with a few others rejecting me when in fact they were afraid I was judging.

We were all living in a fear of being judged by the other on the empty space between us is waiting to be filled by a simple gesture of honest caring people like people like" allow me to see the world through new eyes instead of seeing judgment in the eyes of others I Sunday not deep yawning, but the simple human need to be noticed. I began to realize that most people were not waiting to check the adequacy of my actions were waiting for the chance to share something about this. Keep asking people is basking in some types warmth and love sharing themselves with that was what made him so special. From that day forward I turned my life around was not easy.

I still spent too much time fearing the judgment of others, and I still got hurt when arrogant people took advantage of my openness and used it either to left me me me, but I found that by taking the chance and liking other people world opened up before I discovered where the people I would never have known, and I kept only to my own interests. Car mechanics cashiers crazy people, thieves all have the stories to tell the poor the powerful and the lonely always full of dreams and thoughts as I first talk to me about tractors.

Scientists spoke to me about atoms I learned what it was like to grow up in the Australian post and I learned how it feels to pack boxes all day. If you're the one who reaches out to everyone who dares to like people that surround you will fall away and great job on that Monty.

State Farm is in your corner and on a neighbor call your local State Farm agent for quote today. We returned to our American stories next story about a man who had an extraordinary impact on American music, writing, bluegrass and gospel standard such as flyaway and turn your radio on his own. Monty Montgomery with the story he Bromley was born on October 29, 1905 uses granddaughters Betsy and Elaine to tell the rest of the story and the little town in Oklahoma. He was born there spiral Oklahoma close to Rock Island, Oklahoma, really poor. His family were sharecroppers and they sharecroppers picked cotton ceremony. It's awful. It hurts me school experiment with why they had us do that to pricks and from the thorns, or whatever the little sticky things are that that was his childhood.

It was musical because his dad played instruments and taught him how to live music and play the piano and we really like the life which is one of the reasons he decided to move toward the music two different stories, the one that I grew up eating was.

He walked over from Spyro in his home farm to Hartford with email. It varies but $2.50 or so. Not much money in his pocket at all. Hartford is actually 28 miles from Spyro said the fact that he walked 20 miles to school to me is my determination, which I think when he knocked on Ian Bartlett's door in that he wanted to learn music is not really sold EM Bartlett on the fact that this guy had something which is why am Bartlett allowed them sleepless couch pay tuition sponsored in the way and course repayment lies that he would have to come work for him after he taught him how to write, to pay off the tuition but who was EM Bartlett was a songwriter. He learned how to write songs for the same specter company and decided to go out on his own and he began their Hartford Institute in Hartford Arkansas and did a lot of things at that music school.

He was a publisher as well as teaching music music he would teach a temporary singing schools set up in small communities across the country for the purpose of educating poor rule. Americans on the basics of music and tuition was paid for by buying EM's songbook. That's how my grandpa made money. Not everyone is against it made money was going to sell the song but some people would attend school and as you that were popular and your sons became a popular you assigned page in the songbooks as we now grandpa was pretty prolific when he was writing his music and EM taught in the basics of how to do it but the talented horse came he brought a lot of songs in this convention. Betsy was one of the I guess I'm getting is the world's most famous contributors to this convention song that you a list of sizing is off my Leo meets the morning if we never meet again turn your radio on strangers to me that Sage's only member grandpa broke off flyaway over a period of time. It wasn't something he just sat down and did one of the things that's pretty unique about grandpa distill this in here. He wrote notes of the music along with the words. Not many people these days are so many cowriter wrote the right left right to left exactly which is totally crazy. Think about It. That's how he sighed that's how it works for him and he was very particular about the message in the song he wanted specific words, and for all flyaway. I mean, I don't know if you need this or not, because we never discussed it but it meant a lot to him with that song.

I think it took him a while for years to compose it and get the words right and he would get stuck on one phrase or one word and if it didn't see what his vision or meaning for the sidewise because what he wanted to do is paint a story for people so they can see it in their mind and connect to a file and then I guess in some way applied to their life to help offer them hope and maybe purpose uplifts them a little bit in their day-to-day lives because you know people that have the things the luxuries of life. They looked to each other community in music as a connection so that was the beginning of all flyaway in the years he started that after he was with Bartlett, later 20, when I called that little ditty never really ever anything spectacular to him and in Grandma's exit when he made in this part of his deal with Bartlett was that he had sent a song a month because he was works for hire contract, which means part of his contract was one song per month can be submitted to songbook and so he was looking for a song to sing, submit one month in Grandma's.

I submit this when is he never really thought always referred to as a little ditty.

It was never anything cute but he still was so particular about every day that's true, but he was very particular that it grandpa. I do remember grandpa always said grandma I don't know if the workforce description sure him to get that song out there for people to hear because she liked it and as we know, like a couple of other people seem to like it because it's easy and simple, and happy just in its hopeful and easy to remember grandpa always wrote he would say that if you can't come out singing the song that is not good enough because you have to be something memorable, something that people will remember and everything. Grandpa used to say was that never get too far for people that you'll never be too far from the mainstream because everything is about people. If you it doesn't matter what you do with you write a song with you so close, it doesn't matter what you do if if people will not accept it and make that part of their lives, then it doesn't matter how good it is. So he always kept that in mind like real people sing it doesn't connect to people. Is this going to be something that they will remember and I think also I was a very good example of that. I mean, like, 1976 we got one award from finally being the most recorded song in history gospel sign history at the time it was 726 times net meet record of any license in 1976, 30, 45 years later and were over 12,000 licenses when he first tried it took a few years for it to become even popular, and it was even recorded, but not until the Chuck wagon gang recorded their recording and it just somehow connected with people place things in the industry were changing from convention singing in the things he said to more professional group performances that they made recording of that and it just really took off. And that's when the awareness of the song went beyond convention singing in church singing. It was because the Chuck wagon gang is not necessarily only Christian music that sing all kinds of music, and they been around for almost as long as we have entering the second and third generation of their singing and so there's a connection there that's lasted well and that started the road and grandpa was such a smart man. He recognized the shift in the industry began to do more of the publishing and that's when he was moving toward his own publishing company but Hartford and did all these other things and so off I went was obviously a part of that is become part of the fabric of American and the world.

Even the Smithsonian has named grandpa that the greatest American way.

They did use this they said the grace of white songwriter before war to which I am delighted that extinction, but they did course, all flyaway sound elaborate Congress as well, along with strangers so you know there's not many songwriters you have two songs elaborate Congress is the story of Albert Bromley was told by his granddaughters, Elaine and Betsy in his duties. Indeed, our masterpieces and staying close to the people making sure that it's a memorable melody will we learn that about Irving Berlin to stay close to the people. Make sure they can harm it then after hearing it once Irving Berlin piece is beautiful in all American stories.com and listen to so many ways. Though these men came from different places, one from New York City one from Oklahoma and Arkansas stories are the same American story. When we come back more of Albert Bromley story uniquely American's great music and parts, and so much more on our American store Tory Jeep.

I know everything there is to know about running a coffee shop for small business insurance. I need my State Farm agent make sure my business days equal and competent business owners to help you best. State Farm is in your corner and on like a good neighbor.

There call your local State Farm agent for quote today. Then we returned to our American stories in our story. Bromley wrote many classic American bluegrass and gospel standard such as all flyaway and turn your radio on when we last left off. Albert got his start in music at the Hartford music company after walking their just two dollars in his pocket and Albert would soon form his own company. Jim is granddaughters Elaine and Betsy with the story when he called out from inside his own publishing company 1944 and is ready for himself is also writing for state inspector and for the time he went back and purchased all of Hartford to get all the songs back in 1948 started yelling got hundred percent different people. It own portions of his. He bought percentage from each person to Hartford because his relationships of people. We printed books from literally everybody for the offering prints on the hayride prints on the River Valley Ozark Jubilee Bob groups is Charlie Hobart reprint songbooks for everybody. So over these years we've had this week sold just our own books that we make ourselves insulting to me to sell in the National Enquirer of all things we did so millions of all of the world we sold over 40 million songbooks made over 100 million some books.

Grandpa was genius. The man he was smart and I like to say that iTunes is best because grandpa got you made a contract with all those publishers around everybody can lift saw the something out and he would send to people like the operating Louisiana hayride also spoke. Pick your favorite 150 songs send me a list songbooks put your name on it and you can sell which is why we sold to me sublimates me songbooks because everybody would pick different songs that would personalize it have their playlist of songs, making the book they would sell it with her name on the front cover. It was a brilliant shift over in the industry to be able to do that and on the more personal side of this that I love. I love the songs and stepping up grandpa was so artistic and so many ways. He helped create illustrations on the covers of the book so the evidence of his folksy image the way he was in real life was presented on the covers of these books with log cabins and pine trees which I love and little church buildings so he was such a hands-on person. He had from the beginning and he had an idea and then in the later days in the 60s and 70s. Dad and Bill.

His older brother Bill were the only ones really left the company and they contributed and participated in the creation and putting together these books. This is where we learn that a stable and stitch box as we did do that on an iPAQ 70 bucks but you know that was just part of the business.

That's what we did in the nowhere. It was enough to where we even have a post office just like 10 people in commissary, which is where grandpa and grandma's house is across the road is the business develop. Fasten a thriving community there as well, but the post office still exists because we shipped from that rural area all over the country. The things that I was always impressed with how he lays the books that he had a specific way of laying them out with the numbers correlating like you love the number 100. He put his song on their allotted time because his songbook was that we had to convince a stylebook that was his number 100 and so he connection and put it in those new books and think that kind of stuff is pretty cool. You know the way he continued that tradition really meant something to him so he named his kids after song people and he kept conditions of why gave him his beginnings, and you say It meant a lot because of these behaviors. Over the years because of his work. Albert developed long-lasting friendships with countless well-known musicians who would sometimes come over for dinner at his house in Powell, Missouri were Elaine and Betsy would meet.

I know this was anything I didn't know about fame or celebrity.

I didn't know they were famous people from Nashville. I didn't know anything that dad and what was normal life and the fact that this people came to the house. They were just friends on the table and it was not a means on memory that you say Tubbs laughed and raised his cowboy hat green beans. I hate green means that I would get in trouble if I couldn't eat my green beans and trouble memory but to me, that was nothing like what man somebody like me else everybody came to the house.

It never even occurred to me that they were famous, not even one time and we can talk about the hollow. We had what was called the Helen hollow folk Festival where we have local arts and crafts, and local music and it was focused more on that the gospel aspect. On Sundays, and gospel formation would be there be a church service locally. As time moved on. They decided added bluegrass and bring in some of those people that were famous that we did know were famous to sing on Saturday nights he bring in the opera stars like Ernest Joe all of everybody came. Anything you can't not name opera star that was in Powell on the state you had dinner with them because this is what you make some ice cream had a conversation pick the little they went on stage and then you did you know you yet you jammed after word or you ate or whatever to show up in the bus is coming and everything is the stages is little wire that goes to the barn to get the pickup truck and hold the wires. The buses wonder I love you.

I was like a report to see the wire. The wire like that one time Blackwood Brothers as far as the Gospels are concerned everybody was there. Everybody came in saying on this day Jimmy Marty Stuart was with Lester flapping 17 years old stage of the Alastair Flatt and Earl Scruggs and Marty. Marty and I think because are just like there anybody back George Lindsey came with. Cooper showed that was weird. Also industry people showed up, so it wasn't just the start showing everybody would say I want to Bromley Weatherby to sing of the Helen Hollywood always show such a good time and it was just whether they were from New York or you know you miles away meant something for people to gather at these events and connect and get away and relax and enjoy is very particular to me. Not likely. Powell P didn't even get awards and stuff you like, whatever. But I do remember the story when he went down to see Gov. Jimmy Davis governor of Louisiana, who wrote the song you are my sunshine and they were down there in the governors mansion and he served fried chicken. There I was all nervous and grandpa grandpa. He had chicken leg, put his elbows upon the table to starting and there was a go think it is negative for all the nerves were gone, you know, grandpa just grandpa's lesson stressed about anything he didn't want the limelight. He was either off behind the stage are sitting on you like to sit on stairs sit on the stairs or squat on set off to the side to watch what was going on around he would talk to anybody that came out but he never really went up on stage very often, even at whatever event we were at.

He just preferred that relaxed. Everything is okay. I meet my chicken leg with my elbows on the table very laid-back people left because they didn't have to put on a face.

They can be themselves around them. That whole authentic self thing you can help it because that's his your listing to the granddaughters of Albert Bromley tell his life story and in the way the granddaughters are telling their own because the stories are so intertwined in this remarkable American story. In this mortal American family when we come back more from the granddaughters and by the way, if you got grandkids empower them to tell your family story early because my goodness do not know your family story for better force is a crime when we come back more of this remarkable American story.

State Farm is in your corner and on like a good neighbor. There call your local State Farm agent for quote today and we returned to our American stories in the final segment of our story on American composer Albert Bromley also American entrepreneur is told by his granddaughters, Betsy and Elaine in 1970. Albert will be inducted into the Nashville songwriters Association Hall of Fame becoming a charter member of that organization which according to the granddaughters with something really enjoyed going to continue with the story okay so here's what happened and grandpa left Powell for like five reasons that was one of grandpa like Elaine was saying no limelight, not his thing. He was in the back of the room.

The cup of coffee in the hit by the ball in his palm. And that's how he would drink because the back wall very unassuming. You don't know who he is. He doesn't make a fuss is just how he spent most of his time with this young songwriter had just got some award.

I have no idea what was so excited about what your name is Albert Bromley me anything I know, I'll fly away.

Oh just walked off. You just did his thing. He never made a fuss and he ate. Weird stuff. He ate with staff and slept where to and is a he was an eccentric by today standards the way I remember him, but I was really small was normal but now when you talk about it. It's humorous.

It's funny because he did eat funny things and different things that what we normally eat like buttermilk on Wheaties or tomato juice on Wheaties in the tree that was in lice I can have call spam man will treat which is another kind of canned meat product became a tin can that had a key and leave it open the fridge and slice them off 20 1 o'clock in the morning many times stories and when I was little, before a lot of the other kids came along with grandma Bromley on Friday nights. Grandpa would be in his room. He had a room right off the kitchen where he lived on this couch.

I mean he slept there. He ate there did everything there but he would come out and he would stand as we were supposed to watch.

Gary says let me watch something called the mentioned 16 and that was a UHF channel which by the way, we had to run a wire from the house to the top of the blast behind the house to get non-that's another story to watch that he would come out to stand or he would never sit with us. They would stand there and watch it a few minutes he moseyed to the bathroom where he was going to come back soon stand there for a few minutes.

Watch assistant go back to his couch and that was just my Friday for a very long time. That's how I set my Fridays by nights with grandma Bromley and the snacks and all the things I like cinnamon toast for you and Coco that she let me sip coffee, which was also no doubt, and never did take up the smoking grandpa and you know that he would smoke a lot or at least hold a lot of cigarettes. He would hold him while he was thinking. And they would burn down in the ash would drop often there was a lot of cigarette burns on the table beside his couch relayed and I have myself seen grandma go up to him with an ashtray in The cigarette into the ashtray, so would drop it all over the floor something and it was kind of something he would go all yeah just keep on his his his mind was focused on whatever whatever and sometimes he had a lot of thoughts he would write them down. Ice cream sticks and pieces of paper lines for music, music notes and whatever telephone bills what everything is on Cadillac and I when I was little, just sent this to give you a picture because he liked to draw the pictures the middle of the country with 2 Lane Rd. just across the street literally was where they started their business to build the buildings 500 feet.

Maybe it was a postulate highway so grandpa that his car and he would get up in the morning when he was ready to go to work in the car just across the street and walk in the building and that light, she would jump in the car, got a prospect to the house. Go eat and take his nap and that he would do the same thing in the afternoon and that was his regiment.

The walking was not his thing. He wanted to drive his car back and forth, straight dad did the same exact thing to and from work is fun to think about the Albert Bromley would pass away in 1977, leaving a legacy over hundred songs all penned by his hand.

Only one of them can claim the title is the most recorded gospel song in all of history. That song being I'll fly away, and its legacy is lost on the family American Airlines going to travel and density wasn't paying for it, and I've literally heard all slightly all over the world is Kevin I heard in Fiji on her honeymoon that I was in Australia on the bus.

Nobody has a clue who I am and I'm on the way to this this cave. Things like 30 minutes outside town and myself and my friend are the only Americans on the bus and rail Sicilian and their singing waltzing Matilda Malec chemical bulb up at the next song they sang was I'll fly away again. They had no clue who I was a night and say anything, but it's like it's an amazing impact of that song it's been recorded in every country in every language on the planet license for until I keep getting new countries in the back and change the name but that song is as touched millions upon millions of people because the song is over 80 years old so it's been around long enough for generations of people to connect to it and sing to their grandchildren, their families at funerals at gatherings at sayings and whatever and that's a story in Australia this things are motivational to keep it alive because it still does mean. So whenever we can get it out there like it was recently on a TV show and they sang it I still got tears and I still got the chills and it's just still relevant and grandpa's. Betsy was saying you that was a factor in continuing things mean something people when my favorite things is when people tell me there I'll fly away stories because everyone has one.

I have literally hugged people in the grocery store.

I cried with them.

I cried with them in the hospital's lady, a friend of mine use that as her wedding march I thought was really interesting that there heard that before but that song brings back memories for people of things they may have forgotten about like transports them to place the date that is so special.

In such a place in their heart that nothing else can get them there in the fact that they're willing to tell me that story that really happens to me almost daily for someone to same here always hearing stories so the ones that I have is that Dylan told us that he was in a car accident and he was being life lighted out and he was dying he he he felt that he actually died and he was singing I'll fly away to bring himself back so he would not die so he saying that he sang himself back to life is what he was saying. He said I just kept saying I'll fly away, so I would not die to know that that my name as a person in this world represent something that that can literally change someone's life in the moment is so huge honor to be able to be connected to something like that is just people tells the stories I mean I'm serious. I've cried so many strangers. I thought more people tell me the stories, especially hospitals in the hospitals but no I get her lot and what I don't know why Mund danger danger prone exit from whatever that people tell their stories and I means I just cry and cry with people they sing that to their to their loved ones in the older Loveland. I mean we've done that hospice be read by people in the hospice and talk to Chuck wagon gang. We still doing the same work with them, brought them to hospice and people they sing. I'll fly away people come out of the rooms and dislike the nurses would like they haven't walked in week they come out of their rooms to sing and participate in the near that song.

It's amazing to me the power of the melody. Grandpa conjured up out of literally no right of the cotton field in Oklahoma, you know to be able to move someone to to where, as they are literally slowly passing away.

There have the strength to get up and they want to be near that song that's amazing. Great job by Monty Montgomery on the production of a special thanks to Betsy Wayne granddaughters of this great man, Albert Bromley, and a special thanks to Catrina Hein as well and remember he started as the son of sharecroppers and cotton fields in the middle of nowhere in Oklahoma and walks his way to a new life. The life of art and music and 40 million books sold in the greatest and most recorded gospel song of all time here from the granddaughters touched millions. We love telling me stories because it connects American history for American present and everything in between. A special thanks to any granddaughter granted wants to keep the story of their family life Albert Bromley story on our American stories.
