Wabash Cannonball W3

Folk song, written by hobos during the depression. There are many verses done over the years. We now call hobos"(us?) "Homeless"
Time to write some new verses. It's really a tribute to my dad... That and I've always liked the song as well.
Ken Kasman is on bass.

Lots of views of the California Zephyr. The Cannonball was a day train Detroit-Saint Louis there must be pictures of it out there

Nice to hear from someone who knows trains. I rode for a couple of days on one of the old trains that so many click clack rhythms came from...Quite a trip it was. New ones are quiet! . Thanks for the input!
