But it must also have been fun to be on the road playing guitar for dancing people? and yes many todays musicians use way over that days usage : / and many other too ofc

@sambobla The playing was the fun part. The worst part was those darn outfits you had to keep clean and ready to wear. Big road bands would hire a "momma" to keep their clothes clean and pressed, we was a poor road band and had to do it ourself. If you wore dirty clothes on stage, you got one warning and after that a bus ticket home. But, it had it's fun times. Thanks

@sambobla Yeak, you're right. I played on the road in the early 60's. People have no idea what the pressure is/was like. In the old days (lol), it was reds, bennies for uppers and sleeping pills for rest. That stuff would be considered candy today. Back then it was alcohol and a few pills, today it's cocaine, crack and meth. It's all deadly.

@bgdenham Yeah i have read about him in many ways Johnny Cash was a lot like Hank am i right?

[bgdenham]

@sambobla Thank you, I'm glad you like it. In spite of his battle with alcoholism, Hank was a deeply religious man.

[sambobla]

i too think this is Hank's greatest song. and you play it well!

[DocHelliday]

I agree, best Hank songs

@BradSpead7 I didn't mean for it to come out funny, but I guess it did. I was playing and singing along with my own CD, Thanks. It's still tricky even with your own recording.
