Thank you very much, Denbo! This was supposed to be a collaboration with a guitar playing friend who said he wanted to do the vocals if I did the music, but after waiting for months he never added any guitar or vocals so I did the vocal. After I learned the mandolin and guitar parts I didn't want to waste the effort :)  Steve Earle is one of my favorite writers / musicians. Thanks again!

Thanks for the generously kind comments Richard! Adding the layers is nice and gives more options and saves folks from having to watch my goofy mug in action. Happy Thanksgiving to you and the Mrs!

Thanks much Clarky. It is fun getting the electric guitars out now and then ;-)

Thank you Danny, I like that this tune is a good reason to get out the mandolin. Happy Thanksgiving!
