old blues on unplugged DGB cigar box guitar and tin sandwich.
How Long by Leroy Carr
How (I) long, how (V) long
has that (IV) evening train been (I) gone?
How long, how (V) long, baby how (I) long?
I went to the station didn't see no train.
Down in my heart, I have an aching pain.
How long, how long, baby how long?
I'm disgusted. I feel so bad.
About losing what we once had.
How long, how long, baby how long?
I see the green grass on the hill.
Aint seen no greenbacks on a dollar bill.
How long, how long, baby how long?
I feel sorry. I feel so blue.
Why can't you want me like I want you?
How long, how long, baby how long?

I really like your version Uncle John, I always wondered how it really goes...
Thanks, Clock. Thanks, Mr Lucky (warm Wes).
About the same here for wind chill, Muddy. That bubble thing is neat. We did the thing where you toss up a cup of boiling water and it vaporizes. Cold weather fun
Thanks Todd, James and Bruce. Yup, good old song. Kind of sad to me that a lot of people have the impression that Eric Clapton wrote it. Always good to give the original blues folks their due.
It was -15F here early this AM. How Long till spring? Long...
Nice job John. I love that tune, one of the first I ever learned on CBG. Nice touch with the harp too!
Keeping warm Uncle John with some good old Blues Nice!!!
Nice one UJ. Profane heater vid means only 6 more weeks of winter - right?
