AnneS Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I always liked this song--this here's quite a brisk take on it, which'll take some getting used to. But as usual, great material fares well in your able hands. Thanks for bringing this one out for a spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindboygrunt Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 I messed around with speed a bit Anne ... I'm trying to do it slower than I did it , and then I start and it's speeded up again😄 Some songs have a mind of their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buc McMaster Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Well I live "where the people say y'all" and I think this works pretty well, BB, but I can't help imagining an irishman saying such words in conversation at a Texas picnic.......I reckon you'd attract a crowd just to listen to you talk!

blindboygrunt Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 Round here they say 'you's uns ' Doesn't fit in the song though I am guilty of the mick jagger falsness Never even been to America . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 This is a great song and you "do it justice." Your way is different from Prine's, but just as poignant and real. I really like your "sitting on the sofa" style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philfish Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Haven't played this song for years,if I could finger pick as fast as BBG I'd try it in double time. Good stuff Blind Boy. Doesn't every body say ya'll ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullmental Alpinist Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Good stuff Blind Boy. Doesn't every body say ya'll ? Shoot, I'm Californian and I say y'all: "Dude! Y'all get y'all outta the water! Sharks!" Excellent work BBG. Any time y'all and the missus want to come to the states just say the word and you can stay at Sal's mansion.
