Rocking Chair - Rick Cardwell/Cayouche (cover)

This is my litte impression of an old song called "Rocking Chair" which was either written or recorded previously by Rick Cardwell I'm not sure because i;ve never heard the original version. This version is based on a version recorded by a french artist named Cayouche from the northern parts of New-Brunswick. As always I welcomr your comments and hope that you enjoyed! Bluesmanstrat

I first got turned on Ricks music thru gary p nunn,gary always had a song or two written by rick on every album just about. then in the early nineties i met rick at the three teardrops tavern in dallas at a larry joe taylor gig.heck of a nice guy and one heck of a song writer bar none.another meeting in luchenbach.ricks' music just about mimiced my lifestyle back then.meeting rick was a great encounter for me,his music was great.i didnt realize he had died,but his music will still live on.

Thank your for the nice comment..moi ause ca rappelle de beaux souvenirs d'une soirée passer dans un party de maison avec Cayouche! Salut bien

@LeCrazyFrenchman , yes most times but does have a lot tunes out the C position too.I find that a lot of his tunes out of the D position easier to pick out of the C position with capo on 2. Like Cayouche told me one night at a party ";it's easier on the fingers" haha..Salut!

@Bluesmanstrat1 Most of cayouches music follows that variation exept for odd picking.

The chords are : D, G,D,A, D, G, D, A, D then the chorus goes G ,D,A, D,G,D,A, D, Hope this helps, thanks for watching and good luck with it.

Lyrics & music were recorded & written by life-long friend Rick Cardwell. He grew up outside Waco at Rock Creek, TX. We lost him on April 26, 2009 but will by his own promise join his open arms when I cross that river myself. He leaves 1 beloved daughter, Diedra. He was a treasure. Rick - first love & last love. The song was about his Grandaddy McCrary on the home-place across from Tickle's Store. He's my Forever Love. Rick's Girl, Always.
