Hi All, I'm new to the group but love gospel and am learning the clawhammer style. I am trying to find the music or tab to an old gospel tune called Where Will I Shelter My Sheep Tonight. I have done extensive internet searches and cannot find it. If anyone has it and is willing to share I would sure appreciate it!

MP3: We Will Understand It Better By and By Linked by CEParagon124 12 years ago: I like this little arrangement of We Will Understand It Better By and BY, but I recorded this on an old pre-1900 Lyon & Healy on which I had just changed the 5th string was ringing like crazy. Sorry.
