Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette

This Merle Travis tune revived the career of Tex Williams in 1947. After that it was covered by many artists and bands, some of whom I have included in the photo collage. I had the pleasure of performing this with the Black Brothers in a Sunnyvale "Skull Orchard," back "in the day." The arrangement is one TJ Baden dreadnaught and voice, with a harmony part added in the chorus, but other than that, it is exactly how I play it in my solo acoustic act.

@GRKingz - Thanks. I'm still learning about recording, and my resources are limited, but I am trying to make them sound good.
