Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "All Aboard the Gospel Train" in Radio Specials and Spirituals In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Arranger of "[Hear you not the railroad whistle, lo, the gospel train is near]" in Radio Specials and Spirituals
