    George Scott helped to make music that often brought tears to my eyes.

    I have a good feeling that George is resting in peace.

    Founding Blind Boy George Scott Dies

    George Scott, founding baritone of gospel vocal group the Blind Boys Of Alabama, died yesterday (March 9) at his home in Durham, N.C., according to a statement. He was 75.

    "We're grateful to the Lord for letting us have George for as long as we did," says Blind Boys leader Clarence Fountain, who was one of the last people Scott spoke to before his death. "He and I grew up together and sang together from little boys to old men. George was a great singer, he could sing any part in a song. We loved him and he was one of the 'Boys.' He lived a life of service and now he's gone on to his reward."

    Born George Lewis Scott in Notasulga, Ala., the artist met Fountain and Jimmy Carter in 1936 at the Alabama Institute for the Negro Blind. Three years later they formed the traditional gospel singing group, which Scott also accompanied on guitar.

    In recent years, the group enjoyed a resurgence in popularity and recently won the best traditional soul gospel album Grammy for "There Will Be a Light" (Virgin), recorded with singer/songwriter Ben Harper. The set featured Scott singing lead on the album's opening track, "Take My Hand."

    Though Scott retired from touring last year, he continued to record with the group and will be heard on its new album, "Atom Bomb," due Tuesday (March 15) from Real World Records. No changes are planned in the Blind Boys touring schedule, which picks up again with a March 18 showcase at the South By Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas.

    Funeral services will be held March 15 at Monumental Faith Church in Durham. His family has asked that mourners make donations to the American Diabetes Association or send flowers to the city's Holloway Funeral Home.

    Scott is survived by his wife Ludie Lewis Mann Scott, his mother Hassie Lou Scott and his sister Benzie Jackson.

    I hope I can get in, I'm seeing Lewis Black that night and it ends at the same time Jay gets on! I'm thinking about picking up tickets tonight and leaving Black early? I hope that works.

    I was just checking mulebase.com for the date and did a search for Presence of the Lord and it came up with no matches, then it came up under Toronto, but with the * signifying that Marc had joined them on it...which leads me to believe that either that was the only time Mule played that song or that every time they play it they have a guest...hmmm....I think we were very blessed that day ::

    Yes indeed we were. Also that day Toronto resident Craig Ross (lead guitarist in the Lenny Kravitz band) came out and joined Marc Ford in Chris Stills band to perform Stills' father Stephen's Manasas song "Rock N Roll Crazies." I loved that day of music!

    Whatever he was doing or not doing at The Comfort Zone when he came with Blue Floyd 08/08/2000, he played just fine!!

    **footnote** (one of my favourite Mule moments was when Marc Ford got up and played "Presence of the Lord" with GM at Hordefest Molson Amphitheatre 7/28/1998 while he was touring with Chris Stills)

    Hey MuleMomma,

    I too was at that HORDE show and I have to say that moment where Marc Ford performed Eric Clapton's Blind Faith song with Gov't Mule was the highlight of that HORDE tour for me (I went to three HORDE shows in 1998).
