Hey Dan!!! Haven't listened to this one in a while!!

[coolanddark]

@MonkeylessJohn Thanks John!! I still sing this one all the time. It makes me feel happy inside! WoW has it really been 3 years! Time is moving right along John! these were the good all days for you tube. Harry Mcclintock was such a great songwriter!! Sort of the precurser to Woody. Hey John I hope your having a great summer!

[pastramijack]

Mwah, interesting rendition but I like Ol' Haywire's better.

First heard this song performed by John Hartford during the "O' Brother Where Art Thou?" tour some years back. Instantly fell in love with it then. Listening to you do it now just brought back a huge smile and great memories of that night. Awesome job, Dan!

Wow you nailed that song to a tee.. Good job! You got the same exact voice as him.. Its hard to do as he has that tremer in his voice cause he is getting old. So you did a great job on a hard song. "My Hair" "Oh George Not the live stock" LoL.. My favorite movie must seen it 40 times. "well we were fixin to fornicate"

[coolanddark]

[Fozzymaple]

It would be awful hard for McClintock to have written this in '43, I have a recording of McClintock doing Big Rock Candy Mountain dated to 1928. You did a nice job with the song though.

[coolanddark]

your right!im so embarrased!!

[WheelofTime]

You did an excellent job with this song! I totally agree with you that it is important to keep these old folk songs alive! Thank you for sharing.

[coolanddark]

thanks.these old folk songs are to good to let die.

[MonkeylessJohn]
