[seacret8sianman]

I think your voice is perfectly suited for this song. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed your originality and great interpretation of a time gone by. GREAT JOB.

Big John Henry is an American Folk Legend beleived to have died in Talcott West Virginia's Big Bend Tunnel after defeating a steam-drill during a contest. I love the story so much I wrote a motion picture screenplay (as I wrote it I imagined the actor Michael Clarke Duncan as BJH) and sent a treatment to the WWE (Vince McMahon produces films) hoping he'd at least consider since I wrestled for him back in the '90s.

whoooo whoooooo !! ***** !!!

[Padriac82]

Where did you learn that version? I'm working on that song, and am looking for different arrangements.

Great!

[Frenk78rpm]

Thanks! some of the music comes from DeFord Bailey some of the words are from Josh White, but most of it is my own interpretation of many different versions of the song and the train imitation. Glad you like it!
