Thanks Richard. The Blues Train to Monterey. Has a ring to it. Book me a sleeper. We could jam in the vestibule or the observation car. All Aboard! The Calli Forny Choo Choo.

Wow Sweetwater. Thanks for the nice comment. I was similarly afflicted with Jimmy in my Art School days in the mid sixties. I know quite a few of his songs.

about 1967 or 68 Merle Haggard did a 2 album tribute to Jimmie Rodgers. when I played it I was blown away with the whole album , but especially Waiting For a Train. Next Day I went  back to the record shop and ordered Every Jimmie  Rodgers album they could get. I was about 12 or 13 then, and  Waitin For A Train  was the first song I learned to play when I built my first cbg  when I was 60. You done a great job, on a great song.

I’ve been hopping trains, getting an idea how practical it would be to make it a train hopping CaliFest from all points unknown. Very peaceful playing Dave, classically endearing to my poor old ears.

Thanks Andries. I like all this recording thing. My camera, my instruments, amps, friends like you. Making life fun.

Thanks Poorness. Thanks Uncle. You keep the hobo alive in us all.

Good tune and a nice rendition.

Speaking of hoboes, I was tempted to go up to Britt, Iowa last weekend for the national hobo convention.  Maybe next year.  We ended up having family canoeing, kayaking, visiting and good eats.
