Eric and I met today to work on new tunes. One that I am excited about is the tune "Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues" by Danny O'Keefe. Just a really great tune. We'll probably record it next week.
Here's Danny playing it.

So it was winter and there was the man who had a passion for ice fishing. He heads to his favorite spot and spends the day fishing but has terrible luck and not one fish bites. As he is packing up for the day he notices a kid, not far off is fishing also, but almost as soon as he puts his line it catches a fish. The kid does this a couple times and almost as fast catches more fish. The man was amazed, but shrugged and went home.
Next week the man goes out again and has the same bad luck with his fishing. As he is packing up his gear he sees the same kid, and the kid is again catching fish like crazy. After the kid leave the man goes to the spot the kid was fishing from and catches nothing, not even a bit. Frustrated, he goes home.
The next week the man goes out to his favorite fishing spot, but this time he is watching for the kid. Sure enough the kid come back and is catching fish. So fascinated, he decided he had to ask the kid what the secret to catching fish. So he approaches the kid and ask "I have seen you out here the last few weeks and I have to know, what is your secret to catching fish like this?”
The kid mumbles, "mmph uhm whm.”
The man replies, “Sorry, I didn't understand what you said.”
The kid then spits something out of his mouth and says " You have to keep your bait warm."

Back from a fun and fab few hours at Ann and Mike's -- dinner was medium-rare filet mignons, aug rotten (a Sconnie bastardization term) potatoes and MN grown sweet corn that was just perfect. Lots of stories and memories shared (A&M go back to when first-born Erica was still with us, and were really there for us before and after her death).
Brought home half of what was on my plate, which is not a bad thing!

I walked all the way across the metropolis of Dysart and back again today. I was a lovely day for it.

Here's Danny playing it. I've got my arrangement of that tune. Though I do it more like the Dwight Yokum version. Though his is in G and I drop it to F. It works well for me.

Dysart and the Appalachian Trail are well and good, but did I tell you about the time I walked across an entire nation? Only took me a couple of hours.
The nation was Lichtenstein.

Like being in four states at once--the four corners down there in the SW.
Or for four countries, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana. (tho out in the middle of a river)

What works for my voice is to capo the 2nd fret which transposes to A. That use of the G and C-shapes for those bass runs is key to the whole song. The whole thing sounds really great through the cloudburst pedal.
