Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer with Chao Tian - High on a Mountain

2. High On a Mountain (Ola Belle Reed, Midstream Music, BMI) Ola Belle Reed (1916-2002) was a tradition bearing songwriter and humanist. We spent many visits with Ola Belle and her family in Rising Sun, Maryland. “High On A Mountain” is her most famous song and a rite of passage for any bluegrass or old time band. It incorporates the high lonesome sound harmonies and the modal sounds invoke the mountains of North Carolina in which Ola Belle grew up. Vocals, Five-String Banjo, Guitar
