Hi Greg: I'm glad you couldn't get this out of your head - A good song - A great job. Enjoyed. Thanks for sharing, my friend. Have a great week coming up. Take care. Gwen
@Gregparkerblues Hi (again),Alan. Forgot to say : My great-grandfather,Frank Hughes,rescued Modesto Varischetti from a flooded gold mine in Western Australia. (1900
He was a Welsh immigrant & there's a famous school book story about him.(" The Entombed Miner") So,I inherit a miner's (song) license,all genres. lol Kind Regards,Greg
@FunkFauna Hi Julz. Oh yeah. Like to say I was commenting on the 'boom',in that field,but truth is,song got stuck in my head,because my job is a bit dangerous,too. lol
@bennettskb555 Hi Steve. Thanks,mate. Missing a minor is a major mistake,if the singer 'expected' one.Here,he didn't.(luckily)My personal,'sing in the car' version is no longer the same as the one I first heard. All the best,Greg.
@FrankRMusic Hi Frank. I am glad this simple stuff is 'acceptable',to you.
Thank you very much.Its warm,not hot,yet.I have only experienced below zero temperatures,a couple of times,in my life.Think I'm too thin to survive the cold. lol
Un magnifique morceau un peu country-blues chanté avec passion ! Vraiment très beau Greg, l'harmonica là-dessus on se croirait dans un film western autour un grand feu dans le Canyon! WOW ! Vraiment excellent !
@Gregparkerblues "L'harmonica là-dessus" veut dire :"added the harmonica" ou " harmonica on it" ...Finally I think I know any more than you ... Google is that translates. It's funny we learn languagesin addition to music. It's really great.
your version , super! ...has a touch or blues........country music , when traditional ---truly always had me...:-) some of the modern country is pretty much pop, --.....of course, it is the times....they are changing, as does the music, with the times. Nice start to my Day...thanks Greg...Cheers!
@cinderellalifestyle Hi Laurie. I 'catch up ',on youtube,at the start of the day,sometimes. If I knew you were doing that & saw my frantic rendition,early,I would have worried about 'departing from 'Luke Austen's very smooth version. Thanks for 'super','nice start to day'. All the best,Greg.
I listen to my share of country. As you know, I'm sure, there's some blues in too! Dad always had it going on the radio when I was growing up. I like this song and you do it justice. Good job! Is that a new guitar?
@bustercash Hi Benny. If I'm driving,& have no blues cds,I'll 'look for; a country channel.
Was singing this (first verse,only),for days. When I 'looked for 'rest of lyrics,I noticed that I had 'departed from' the original arrangement.(sung smoothly,in E with Bm 'turnaround'.)
I'm using Leesa's (Hussy Hicks) 'baby'(Tommy Emmanuel model Maton) & hope she doesn't 'kill me' for taking it out of 'storage'. Many thanks,my friend. Regards,Greg.
@alrofril Hi (again),Alberto. This is a song about gold miners. My great-grandfather,Frank Hughes rescued Modesto Varischetti from a flooded gold mine,in 1900.I have an award from Circolo Isole Eolie,dated 1907,at my house.My uncle has Frank's gold medal.
powerful vocals and performance. keep rockin' Greg!

P.S. Ces mots; "la-dessus" : difficult,for french language 'learner'. (maybe : above all..?)
