Classic Tracks: The Auctioneer (Leroy Van Dyke) Not Original Version

[bcschmerker]

I understand that Van Dyke had a habit of ad-libbing the intro and coda on this Song, which would sound a little different from concert to concert as a result. Reckon that a backing trio along the lines of Johnny Cash's Tennessee Three (electric guitar, contrabass, drums) would have done it just fine on tour.

I'm trying to find " I Fell In Love With A Pony tail" by Leroy.

If you have it could you please post it...Thanks :-)

Great tune, I remember listening to this song on the Jukebox.

Divertente canzone , quasi jodel

It is so GREAT. I must point out that whoever added the ridiculous "string section" (which really detracts from the feeling of the song) should have been popped in the head with a 2X4.

@bangwhistle69 , I agree. I tried to upload the oiginal version, but it was blocked. So, I was stuck with this remake. What I don't understand is what does YouTube have in place to detect the original recording?

[bangwhistle69]

@flashbell Rather than actual strings it sounds like some kind of primitive synthesizer that should have been thrown in a dumpster. Have no idea why You Tube would block the original. Wish they would "cut us some slack" and let us enjoy this great song and artist the way HE intended it to sound. Thanks for you efforts, flashbell. You obviously know good music!

[IBMeddling]

@flashbell, Youtube has a "big brother" sound recocnition that can detect certain songs immediately. I've seen people who just post up a song titled "What is the name of this song" Before anyone can comment the name of the song Youtube will list the name of the song and artist.

Love this song; one of the best songs EVER! (If I tried to talk that fast, I'd end up in the ICU! LOL)
