old five and dimers like me...






too much aint enough for old five and dimers like me.
 Love billy joe shaver.
he wrote a great soongbook for waylon jennings.
He must be a millionaire by now.
Everyman and his dog covered his best tunes and they
were crackers without a doubt.
tee hee.
There are two albums  called honky tonk heroes and both have the same tunes on them. 
Both have  Waylon hisself and  the
second has Billy Joe,  Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson.
The only one missing was Johnny Cash. 
He must have had
a previous engagement.
My academic music skills are not diploma level but many
of the songs seem to be in 6/8 which giving them a
rolling almost old fashioned beat. that dont matter
a wit.   mostly all in an easy tempo
allowing  plenty of holes for fills or leads without
getting in the way. lots of choice pedal steel
for the decorations and  if you fast enough you can keep up.
yep.
cant be bothered with politics to day. all dross and
petty and mostly stupid.
DIG?
Right now its Big Bill Broonzy, letting it all hang down on 
Radio Arrow FM. Dave Sindens Blues Show on
access radio. Hey Hey. Big Bill was one of the first early
blues masters to cross the atlantic and let the british 
boys see how it was done properly on accoustic
guitar. its great stuff and once you get up to speed you can play along to him for  hours!!!!! 
try and  obtain a CD. They used to have them at the warehouse
 but lately they all seem to have disappeared.
Bugger!
mores the pity.
