dhanners623 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Asked for his advice to songwriters, Woody Guthrie famously said, "Write what you know" so with that in mind, I thought I'd borrow from my years of experience working in the coal mines of Kentucky* and write this song, "Leatherwood." The J-35 is made for these songs. * In the interests of accuracy, I've never even been in a working coal mine, in Kentucky or anywhere else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhanners623 Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 And this one stems from my time mining in Pennsylvania*: * I have never, ever mined coal in Pennsylvania. Or elsewhere. I've been to Meadville, though; my late brother was a professor at a college there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissouriPicker Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Yeah, Dave, both are real good. I love story songs and these are good ones. The J35 sounds great and the rhythm on each song fits it perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
