A fine cover of a good song. Where do you know this song from? For that matter, how do you come to know Gram Parsons?

[russbuss415]

thanks for watching! i listen to a lot of music from that era.

[jjkcharlie]

This was totally unexpected. Anaa' Basee'. I was going to point out what EmilyUpjohn wrote as being factual. Once again good job.

[russbuss415]

thanks for the comment!

[LTmattYT]

BALTIMO PO-LICE!

OPEN DA FUCK UP

[kissing88]

I sure know I LOVE my Vita uke ^^

I'm getting an active pickup installed on mine =D

[russbuss415]

thanks great! hope they can find their way through the small sound holes.

[ezzyclean]

Very good job on the song and the uke is especially good.

Keep up the good work.

[russbuss415]

thank you!

[escort325]

@russbuss415

Good job....from a fellow Gram Parsons fan

[russbuss415]

thank you escort325!

[EmilyUpjohn]

This song was written in 1966 by Harlan Howard and Tompall Glaser. It was recorded by various other country stars (Bobby Bare, Charley Pride) before Gram Parsons recorded it in 1973.

[russbuss415]

thanks for the correction. i hope you don't mind me posting this in the video description.

[Bopvito]

Do you know anything else about this song? I'm wondering if Baltimore was actually a place a young woman in tennessee might have wanted to go or if glaser/howard just picked Baltimore because it's a good rhyming word.

[adamg709]

Nice one Russ.

[russbuss415]

thanks for watching!

[okvolleyball]

[russbuss415]

thanks Shas! CCR, good idea!!! coming right up :)

[Sammyboy72]

Love Gram Parsons - amazed that it works on Uke! I was singing the harmonies all the way. Who'da thunk I could sound like Emmy Lou Harris?

[russbuss415]

haha, thanks for the comment!

[africatwin07]

sweet as a nut, always loved that song, it's kinda like a country "bitches be crazy" kinda vibe. Which is nice.

[russbuss415]

haha, thanks man!

[MichaelFrances]

Nice one. You should check out Jens Lekman if you haven't done so already!

[russbuss415]

thank you, i shall check it out.

[russbuss415]

thanks! the deach works in mysterious ways.

[shanifawni]

[casetone2514]

Nice one, Kemosabe.

[mctrmt]

That is a beautiful ukulele- the shape is really going to confuse people.

Nice get-up! Keep them doggies rollin'

[russbuss415]

thanks, i like the oddness of the uke shape. matches the oddness of me wearing a cowboy hat :)

[hoosierhiver]

You make a pretty good cowboy!

[russbuss415]

thanks, giddy up!

[Dominatoruke]

Nice. Those Ohana Vita copies sound great. A buddy of mine has one and it plays like a dream.  deach comes through again.

[russbuss415]

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

I love this song, even though I don't know exactly where Baltimore is. It sounds a nice place - is it?

Anyway, thanks Russ and congrats on the new uke. Sounds really good.

KEN

[russbuss415]

you know, i've never been. but i believe it's about an hour away from washington d.c.

thanks for the feedback Ken!

[jazzju]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos and thanks to Deach to getting Russ to post another one. But, where's your horse, Corsier?

[russbuss415]

That's a copy of a Roy Smeck design (love those seals!), and I've been sorely tempted to pick one up.

Deach is da man.

Really great cover by the way, totally dug it!!

[russbuss415]

cool. i wasn't sure where the design came from but that's good to know. i just like that it looks like a jack-o-lantern. cheers!
