Topic: Thank You, Old Doll !

Old Doll,

Introduced me to a song by Mary Gauthier  "The Last of the Hobo Kings"  and suggested I do a cover so I downloaded it from I-Tunes and listened to it many times, and gave it a try. I hope I didn't stray too far from the original.

Thank You ,

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Nice one Wayne. Tried to record something yesterday for y/tube, a song I know pretty well. Gave up after about the 8th take, kept fluffing it!
