Freeborn man on CBG and foot drums (no harp) (Exploration of the use of negative space)I was born in the SouthlandTwenty some odd years agoI ran away for the first timeWhen I was four years oldI'm a free-born manMy home is on my backI know every inch of highwayEvery foot of back road every mile of railroad trackI got a gal in CincinnatiGot a women in San AntoneI always love the girl next doorBut anyplace is homeI got me a worn out guitarI carry an old tote sackI hocked it about two hundred timesBut I always get 1 backWell you may not like my appearanceYou may not like my songYou may not like the way I talkBut you like the way I'm gone

Awesome Buggy! Not only do I love trains and train songs I got to watch video of two trains I rode on and remember the scenery on the routes as depicted in the video. Oh, and you did a fantastic job on playing and singing.
Nice one Buggy. I like the string deadening strumming/scratching aspects to this song. Sometimes I use it. Adds that little extra edge and feel aspect.

Thanks Bob.. I guess It just misses some banjo?

Dampening/deadening the strings with you left hand rather then letting it ring out
I hear what Bob was saying. I have not learned how to do that. It's a good skill. Excellent vocals, Buggy.

Yup uncle John I agree needs harp, but I've been soo busy this was an oldy I had already done a while back... Thanks guys for the comments and support
The sifting sands of time. Nice Buggy. Might need a little cello. :D)
Raw is good, Buggy. Some harp would have been good.
