Texas Rangers (strumstick)

[stoogemaniac]

I'm an old rock and roller, but your renditions of these songs have given me a real appreciation for traditional Americana.

[lewdite]

@stoogemaniac Glad to hear that… Thank you.

Nice sound, Lew.

Now, tell us about the strumstick. How many strings? How's it tuned?

Sould I buy one?

Do I NEED one?

[Squarekn0t]

I think this was done by Ian & Sylvia back in 68' I remeber it well.

This is what is so great about youtube, being able to be introduced to what may be a traditional song for many and for others a brand new experience. When you deliver with sincerity, as in this recording, we all can share in the joy of music.

Thanks

David

That was straight from the heart, thanks! :)

Sounds good on the strumstick, Lew. As you know, Sarah Otis Gunning used this tune for her song "Come All You Coal Miners", which I learned before I ever sang this song. You've inspired me to do this one now!

[LStrachey]

Western with Eastern sound -- unique!

[marcoacca]

A wonderful performance, as usual. Thank you

[troyota1955]

Cool! Somehow this sound reminds me of a sitar.

and Jeebers, Lew, I finally drop in, only to see that you're drawing on toward 1000!!!...I'll wave my hat from the sidelines!

Blessings,

U-K-T
