Payday by Mississippi John Hurt (Cover)

I recorded this while I had a cold... with an acoustic guitar that had a broken high E string. I had only been singing for maybe a couple of months at this point, i dont really know. Its terrible, but for some reason has a lot of views, so i guess i'll leave it up.

This is better than any song i have heard recently with all the modern technology that we have.

[jessupar]

Yeah music and tech dont really mix too well... granted some of it can sound kind of cool, i'd rather hear one acoustic guitar play just about anything than the music that's coming out now.

not mississippi john hurt

[jessupar]

I thought that was evident by the description, but no. its me trying to play it on a guitar with 5 strings on it if i recall correctly.

[jessupar]

god awful woman playing a banjo and singing...? what are you talking about.

[saullouis]

But you know immitation is flattery. I play Johns stuff too. Would you rather I copy Mylie Cyrus?

[SmilinJackB]

Nicely done!

[Hay3sGray]

@jessupar: I guess it is up to the vigilant "we" to keep playing the music that has soul and inspired us so those coming up have the chance to learn as we did...but they have to have the "want to " to discover it and appreciate it as we did and still do . They will. Soon come.
