Thanks for the post friend.

John, profound truth, delivered in rockin blues, slide cording & single note rhythm's. Images of soot covered miners, steel mill heat, low pay, drinking together & talkin better days coming. Feet tapping to much needed up beat tempo and a fiddle player jumps in. Thank you for a fine version.

Superb.

Alfred Reed died of malnutrition in 1956. Your beautiful version does him and his art justice.

[@maxdisbrow977]

That was EXCELLENT! Thank you so much for sharing that.

[@olben58]

I really enjoyed that and the irony of using a guitar made the same year the song was originally cut. Nice

Dear John, we’re of the same vintage, have much the same taste in music and I can say with confidence you’ve lived a righteous life. Bless you..

[@aloisemason3972]

John Greyhound is not good on this song..same as Bruce Springsten..

[@johngreyhoundmaxwell7432]

That’s an hilarious response but I’ll thank you!
