dhanners623 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I may have posted a video of an earlier draft of this tune, but I think this is the final one, mainly because I’m tired of screwing around with it. I think it finally says what I want it to say. The song is about Blanche Barrow and written from her perspective. She was the only member of the Barrow-Parker gang who wasn’t a psychopath. Not coincidentally, she’s also the only one who wasn’t shot to death by the law. She lived to old age, dying in Dallas in 1988 at the age of 77. I’m playing it on the Farida OT-22, strung with DR Sunbeams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwalker201 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) I just watched another Bonnie & Clyde movie on Netflix the other day. That has a good vibe and story to it, nice job! Edited May 19, 2022 by kwalker201 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lars68 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I remember this one from a while back. I think this version is more mellow perhaps? Either way, I like it very much! Great story! Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissouriPicker Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Another good look at human beings and their history. Even the minor players have a history to tell. ….. Another good one, David! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was pretty normal, but loved Buck (who she called, “Daddy”) deeply and would stay with him no matter what he did. I could add another verse or two, but I’m trying to keep the song relatively short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
