Topic: Ken! Hey Ken! Play thet midgit song.

I'm making some progress on the song, Dirty Ed.  That one and the other novelty song I love so much, "Rich Kid Doctor."  I know Billy plays your songs sometimes, so pretty soon there's going to be two Dirty Ed-heads doing covers at campfires.  You're a sensation among middle-aged smelly river rats.

Re: Ken! Hey Ken! Play thet midgit song.

Looking forward to hearing your version Zurf.  Buckethead Sanders and Philly Ray also play a couple of my tunes.  As a song writer, it's a wonderful feeling to find out someone thinks enough of a song I wrote to take the time to learn to play it.

I enjoyed reading your post about your fishing trip.  I've managed to get out at least once a week over the last couple months.  Spent 8 hours yesterday with my son floating a nearby stream. The weather was pretty chilly and we only managed to thumb 20 smallies but the chance to spend a day with Wes was everything that this old dad could want.

Oh yeah .........  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Re: Ken! Hey Ken! Play thet midgit song.

Well you know that I love "If I Were The Wind", "The Paddle", and "Riding With the Man", but I take those songs so seriously that I don't feel as if I could do them justice.  However, novelty songs I'm willing to take a crack at.  I do it in my fingerpicky folk style, of course, but am working in your signature hammer-ons best I can.

Thanks for the belated birthday wishes.  We had a wonderful time despite the lack of fishes.  Roger doesn't get skunked often, so his getting skunked made my getting skunked more palatable.
