Okay, suppose a guy just coming back from a couple of really kick-butt song circle jam sessions wanted to add some of those old-timey songs to his practice list? If you were at the Gibson Homecoming you likely know the songs I am thinking about. Didn't know most of them, but they sure were fun. Got a handful of thoughts?

Thanks for the list Dave - exactly what I was looking for ! Anyone know that song Tim sang about being his own Grandpa ?

 

Google "I'm My Own Grandpa". There are versions and lyrics and even the family tree. My little brother did that song often. Very popular with the drinking crowd
