[00:00:00.080] 
Well, Charles Delaney

[00:00:02.840] 
 was from Winston-Salem.

[00:00:05.280] 
He was a flutist

[00:00:05.480] 
and he went to Davidson.

[00:00:07.160] 
There's some early pictures of him I can find
in the band pictures.

[00:00:11.840] 
And then he was at Brevard as

[00:00:14.520] 
 faculty for many, many, many years.

[00:00:16.760] 
And he's dead now.

[00:00:17.960] 
But he, he was a joker,

[00:00:21.120] 
 a wonderful joker.

[00:00:23.360] 
And he and one of the other young

[00:00:26.080] 
 faculty members went, excuse me, went

[00:00:28.720] 
 out one Sunday morning to

[00:00:32.040] 
 church up in the mountains somewhere.

[00:00:35.360] 
And the minister was, 

[00:00:37.880] 
 "Now brethren and sisters!

[00:00:41.320] 
I'm telling you, you're hanging on

[00:00:43.920] 
 the brinks of hell by a string!"

[00:00:47.360] 
So they made a a song out of it.

[00:00:50.160] 
This is great. 
Let's see. 

[00:00:52.160] 
[singing] Hangin'!

[00:00:53.680] 
Hangin'!

[00:00:55.120] 
Hangin' on the brinks by a string!

[00:00:59.840] 
Hangin', hangin'! 

[00:01:01.320] 
Hangin' on the brinks by a string! 
[singing stops]

[00:01:03.280] 
And then there were versus and
 then you do that again.

[00:01:06.760] 
Well, when my dad died

[00:01:10.080] 
 and we had the burial in Winston-Salem,

[00:01:13.200] 
 in the Moravian
 Cemetery, God's Acre,
.

[00:01:16.360] 
there were about 30 alumni there

[00:01:19.640] 
 from the earlier years.

[00:01:21.360] 
And after the service,

[00:01:24.160] 
 we all stood there in the grass

[00:01:26.680] 
 and sang it.

[00:01:28.314] 
Aw, that's wonderful.

[00:01:31.160] 
John [?] had just come on as the CEO 
at Brevard and he was there,

[00:01:36.840] 
it was very nice of him to come, 

[00:01:37.680] 
he just stood there and went, [gasps].
