Thank you for posting this, lapislazuli42.

The swinging bass notes grabbed me from the first time I heard this song. I've been obsessively trying to master it ever since. This, to me, is Townes at his best.
-
Just one problem: "Mudd he checked and Gold bet all, and Mudd he raised and Gold did call..." - if Gold bet all, why the Mudd raise? All Gold's chips are on the table. Suggestion: "Gold he raised and Mudd bet all, and Gold he grinned and then he called..." Then you may ask how Mudd could be considered the victor when he only captured a fraction of Gold's huge winnings to that point - but it makes more sense than Townes's narrative. As if Townes even cared, what with poetic license and all that.

and some say RAP is an urban new groove from the hood....

"I was lucky to be sittin' in that chair at that time" love what he says afterwards ... song cuts of speech
blessed who sits in that chair listening

It makes you wonder who the hell was in this room ? The answer is, one genius, and that is all.

Like almost everybody watching these breathtaking videos, I'm deeply moved by Townes music. How do you play this stuff? I know Townes guitar influences were Merle Travis, Lightnin Hopkins, Rev. Gary Davis, Mississippi John Hurt, Doc Watson. Are there others I should check out? This music is so powerful. So moving. I want to learn how to play it. Is there anything I'm missing?

Steve Earle said Townes couldn't do this song for the last 10 years of his life.....if this date is accurate he could do it at least within 8-9.
-
The strange betting at the end, I'm guessing this is not a mistake.
Mud raised the stakes beyond the amount of money either of them had. Perhaps he put up property or possessions.
