Carry Me Back To The Mountains - Carson Robison "I think this was just a product of Carson's imagination and had nothing to do with his background. His background was that of a boy raised in Cheopta, Kansas, son of the one-time champion fiddler and dance-caller of the Sunflower state. He was a railroader and a moving spirit in the colorful Oklahoma and Texas oil fields by turn. His major interest, however, continued to be that of his boyhood, singing and whistling the old time songs to his own guitar accompaniment, and his boyish attempts at songwriting. Carson later was known as 'Granddaddy of Hillbilly Music' as it was inelegantly called in those days. He was the forerunner of them all." — Mrs. Catherine Robison
