Good tune and cool that it is based on a real person.

Well that a sad situation but also a fitting tribute and it sounds like he was a local legend of sorts. Great performance John.

Thanks, Pick and AGP.  No intent to channel Dave, but kind of pleased if I did.  We both liked old timey song, story songs and hobo songs.

Yep!, Ditto Doug and Picks Comments  :-)

Nice tribute ..   It almost seemed like you were channeling Dave lynas there  in spots  ;-)

Thanks, Dan.  My Iowa sax does have a small internal flux capacitator.

Another great tune in your signature style Uncle John. It alway takes me back in time to the Deep South and roots music. And you did it without a flux capacitor! Well done.
