Following In Your Tracks (Song To Woody) Demo on 5 String Cigar Box Guitar

A rough demo of a new song. I wrote it after reading Bound For Glory by Woody Guthrie.
I loved the book. It had less about his music than I was expecting, but the stunningly great writing more than made up for it. The parts about his childhood were especially good...
I'm playing a home made guitar. I have a video about it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68zj3qksc18&t=8s

Thanks Digly, yeah I wanted to make something that would be loud enough to play unplugged along with someone with a "normal" guitar...

Thanks Slow Blues Dani, ah that makes it worth the hassle of doing the lyrics because you noticed : -)

Thanks John, yeah we watched the movie too. Enjoyed it, but not as much as the book. It missed so much out. I read this biography after Bound for Glory, which made me realise how much wasn't true in Bound for Glory. It was a drier read though! https://wordery.com/woody-guthrie-a-life-joe-klein-9780385333856?cu...

thanks Nancy : -) I sometimes wonder if you'll run out of cat pics...but I guess there's an endless supply online?!

That's great - I look forward to the next version with the train sounds.  The vid about the guitar was interesting too.  The five strings idea is neat.  It still has the CBG sound to it, but richer than a standard 3-string.

Brilliant job all round again Bemuzic. I love that you put the lyrics on the screen nowadays so we can all have a sing along to it. Really impressive stuff.

I like that book and there is a movie of the same topic and subject.  Pretty good. 

Yup, we do follow Woody and some of the other greats.  I like the lyrics and presentation.  Do you know that when Bob Dylan was in Grenwich Village he did a lot of Woody G. songs and Smiling Jack Elliot made a comment about him being Woody G 'Juke box'.  That pissed Mr. Dylan off and he set to writing some songs.

Good song, nice git.  Song seems polished to me.
