  Thanks Jamie. It is magical! This song was used as a coded message by slaves who, for some reason, wanted to escape to the North for freedom. Yeah, I think I'd be pissed in that situation.

  Really like this song, not heard in years. And any song that tells the listener to get pissed gets ma vote ( then again, ah may have misread message of song! ).    ;). 

  Well played and sung, tho at beginning, thought you were gonna do magic act :) Neat we come apart uke tho.

  Thanks SlowHound. Yeah, more than one per week is unusual for me but I hurried to finish this one for a weekend demonstration. Still, I was gonna wait to post it but CBN had two feature stories on gourd instruments so I went ahead.
