Thanks Unc. Yup 8 bars - one drink at each bar and a great song . Also, this doesn't have the blues formula of repeating the first stanza 3 times like so many 12 bar blues songs do. But that's enough anal izing. The tuners are re used from a broken fiddle since I've been dealing with sick grand children and didn't have time for my home made friction pegs. Politically It's a tough choice here in WV since one candidate is talking about putting coal miners out of work and the other wants to send folks working hard in local farms and orchards back to where they came from.

many U.S  folks forget  ,, they don't have to  choose either  . they do not have to  vote for the candidates in  the limelight , they can vote for anyone else  . and should .

Thanks pick. Sure you Canadian guys can giggle. You don't have to make the choice between these two. I'm considering a write in vote for Uncle John.

Thanks Erasmo. I usually try to avoid political commentary since it often detracts from the music. But, rumor is after the wall down South is built he plans another one between Canada and the U.S. That one will be to prevent U.S. citizens from heading up there.

Oh!  Great shirt.    And those tuners are cool and obviously work well..   Great job on a classic. 

That is an EIGHT bar blues.     Now don't think I am astute enough to count the bars.  I just have heard it is an 8 bar song. 

Yup, I hope to be happy with the election results and have all the crap over with.   And I agree with Mr. Coco.

I figured this old blues would work as one of my few semi political statements. I think it expresses how a lot of us are feeling about upcoming elections.
