Travis Pickin' (Original)

Hi Folks,

The Title of this one is of course from Merle Travis the great originator of country fingerpickin', I will quote Leo Kottke on this one : 'I like to play simple melodies and drive them into the ground' :), that was exactly my idea with this instrumental, while i'm far away from 'the machine' Kottke but one can dream, no? ;)

Cheers,
Jesse

Sounds great! I agree with Greg Parker. Not as far off as you think. Sounds like Kottke's Last Steam Engine to us.

@IplayBanjoNow Hi Christine,

Sorry it took me so long to respond, i had a busy month and i must of missed your comment....its an honor that you dropped by to check my tunes, really appreciate it, your covers of the blues are fantastic and i don't understand those folks when you went to gig in your video...folks should appreciate your music more...there are not many that keep the tradition of the blues like you!, all these nice comments might go to my head one day hehe :)

Take Care,

Jesse
