Wanderin' (Oscar Schmidt guitaro)

I recorded this twice and then couldn't decide which take I liked better so I have posted them both.
This is a song that I learned from a Vipers Skiffle Group recording made in the 1950s in England during the skiffle craze.

Sounds good, Lew. I can't remember where I first heard this song.

[lewdite]

@raymondcrooke I particularly love the chord progression

C E7 F Dm A7 G

C Am Dm G7 C

[cariboubill]

Both renditions sound good, Lew. I think the second one has a little more energy. That Guitaro sure has a nice tone.

@cariboubill I have had the guitaro for several years but never paid all that much attention to it… more of a curiosity piece than a musical instrument but now that I can't play my guitar anymore it caught my interest. I am very pleased with the happenstance.

First heard this one from Dave Van Ronk

Hi Lew, both versions sound damned good to me. a beautiful bit of what I used to call lazy music. I remember this one from when I was a kid. Just the job to listen to on a sunny Sunday afternoon laying on the grass.Ed.

@lewdite / Lots of times, when life deals me a low blow, it turns out to be a good blow.

That's a great song. Good one for playing the harmonica on, too.
