#will the circle be unbroken

[kessielrg]

Finally found a hymnal old enough to have Will the Circle Be Unbroken, a song featured rather prominently in Bioshock Infinite. No modern hymnal I’ve got my hands on (mostly Baptist churches and two Methodist churches) has had the song.

The copyright date for the hymnal is 1939.

Soundly Spiritual: Willie Nelson and Billy Strings Complete the Circle

- Strings and band, Larkin Poe join Nelson & Family for “Will the Circle be Unbroken” -> “I’ll Fly Away”

Will the circle be unbroken?

It’s like asking if Willie Nelson and Billy Strings are high.

The answer is: duh.

Strings and his band joined Nelson and his Family Band, plus Larkin Poe, to close a recent Outlaw Music Festival stop with the traditional pairing of “Will the Circle be Unbroken” -> “I’ll Fly Away.”

It’s available on a low-quality, audience-shot video. Fidelity notwithstanding, there’s undoubtedly a musically religious component in the 89-year-old Nelson coaxing not once, but twice, his 29-year-old guest to “Play it, Billy.”

And play it Billy does, basking in the glory of Willie and sporting a matching red bandana that is Nelson’s trademark. To see Strings’ pristine steel-stringed guitar alongside the battered-and-frayed nylons of Trigger is to see the circle beginning to close a loop that begins with the Carter Family, arcs around Hank Williams and Nelson and moves toward Strings.

No one knows the veracity of the big truth these songs purport to tell, but there’s little doubt Strings will keep the circle going when Nelson does fly away.

Let’s all pray that’s not for a long, long time.

Not ready to start my githzerai playthrough just yet, but I think I’ve settled on a face for Lae’zel’s eventual enemies-to-lovers monk girlfriend (still no name, alas).

She’s definitely called Lae’zel “unserious” at least once.
