When I Wake Up To Sleep No More is the 3rd song on Side One of The Singing Chapmans "Redeemed By The Crucified One" album. I'm not sure how they handled copyrights back in the 60's and early 70's. The album doesn't mention copyrights, or have author credits. Years later, my uncle Freil mentioned that he had to pay an amazing amount to record certain songs, so I'm working on the premise that they had to obtain permissions, but not necessarily print it as such on the cover.
For what it's worth, the song is written by Marion W. Easterling, and copyrighted in 1944. Easterling was a pretty prolific writer, composing over 300 southern gospel songs. One of his mentors, Dad Speer, is sometimes credited with writing at least one of the songs on this album (He's Mine and I'm His). Easterling also has the distinction of a Guiness Book of World Records listing, for his 39 years of programming the gospel radio show, "America's Favorites." You can find a bit more about him, and his music, at Hymnary.org.
I had hoped to post this yesterday, in keeping with trying to post once a day until all the songs from the Chapmans record albums have been acknowledged. The plan was to write it after spending the day with my parents (and great-nieces). It's a one-hour drive each way, and driving is not something I'm comfortable with. By the time I got back, my mind and body were both worn out... wound up giving up early, reading a bit, then calling it a night.
Monique and I usually sit outside for a while, by the front door. We gather up the dogs, sit in our rocking chairs, and talk about our day. It's a good time to share our thoughts, and the dogs love it. We Piper and Luna have 15-foot leashes, so they can freely wander the yard, or just sit in our laps. They smell the night air, watch as the occasional car or person goes by. If they're lucky, sometimes one of the neighborhood cats saunter by. A good time is had by all. :^)
We both had pretty big days. Monique made a batch of Macarons for an event a friend is attending. She rarely makes them, but this is her second time recently. I believe she plans on making them at least one more time, with a friend. And I told her all about my day with family, what everybody did and said. Sometimes we'll sit quietly for a while. We didn't stay outside long. It was a lot colder than we expected.
