pallet, 2x4, old, hat, fart

Old blues played on an unplugged White Owl 3 string cigar box guitar. Played C,G, B7 &D capoed 2 to A. This is one of my favorite songs by Mississipi John Hurt or Gillian Welch. Done here more like Gillian. I stink playing this on a storebought 6 string. Hoo-ray for easier to play cbgs. :) This cbg was made from a single 2x4.

Now I'm up to speed! You did this a while ago. Very nicely done. I like the music and the lyrics. Good looking guitars on the wall.

This is one of my favorite "bluegrass" standards. Man, you really put the country blues back in it. Great!

Nicely done, Unc. Great old timey sound. The tone on that guitar is perfection with your singing voice.

Thanks for your kind comments. folks. I think what made it a good video was that I love that song and that I was doing a practice recording that I didn't plan on being good enough to post. So, I forgot to be nervous.
