Times Are Getting Hard, Boys (porch music)

This song is from Carl Sandburg's "The American Songbag" (1927). Lee Hays of the Weavers added the words to the verses.
I normally play this song in G but here I am playing it in the key of Bb on my tenor ukulele.

Fantastic John!! Love the Porch sessions!!

[lewdite]

Great place to play... no doubt about it... (especially in the spring )

Great singing, Lew. I'm afraid we don't have front porches in Hong Kong. I suppose I could sing on the balcony, but I don't know where I'd put the camera - and it would probably disturb the neighbours - a few feet away.

Thanks for the smile...
