Hey boo, this is me!
Cool.
It reminds me of ‘Oh, Babe, It Ain’t No Lie’.
Yeah! Very similar. This is an arrangement in C from Rev. Gary Davis that is very popular and has been duplicated by many others. Dylan did a version that is both similar to Davis’ and yet distinctly Dylan.
It’s good. Does it have lyrics?
Yeah. But there’s nothing online to link to. Sorry. You might also recognize his classic composition “Sampson and Delilah” or “If I had my way” which was covered by the Grateful Dead and became very popular. In fact, much of Davis’s work was an inspiration for The Dead, Airplane, Canned Heat, and more modern players like Woody Mann.
Now I know I’m just an amateur having fun on my porch. But it’s great stuff. 🙂
sky news:
On a not so frivolous note. . .
Bill Moyer’s on PBS, Bill Moyer’s Journal just hit a bases loaded inside the park HOME RUN. The entire show about the reason for Impeachment of Cheney & Bush.
