Dino its never to late lol ya never know what folks are going to like untill you kick around a few songs and see, this is a new venue for me and I'm experimenting with ideas,there are no effects at all the guitar is a Hohner acoustic electric with silk n steel strings it is un-amped only the microphone on my Kodak camera is picking up the sound from my vocals and the guitar and for some reason it seems to mix both equally I appreciate your comments nice to hear some positive feedback smile

Nice.  Yeah, I'm sure it's the camera that has you and your guitar working together to sound good.  No years of practice or skill honed on a thousand nights in a thousand venues on your part.  It's probably the camera.  wink   

I've always liked that song, and I'm a short haired flatlander FORMER country boy.

Another nice job. Was it a stretch for you to be a "long haired country boy"; seems to come pretty easy to you

Nice one Mr russell Sir,

Please explain to this ole fool " Whats a glass slide ? is it that finger thing you have on in the Video ?

Why Blend in with the Crowd ? When you were made to stand out !

Re: A RARE COVER FOR ME CHARLIE DANIELS LONG HAIRED COUNTRY BOY

Hey Russell,

  I'm surprised you didn't just dig around in the back of your medicine cabinet and dump the contents of that old Coricidin bottle that we are old enough to still have hanging out in those dark recesses (for you younger folks, it was a cold symptom tablet sold in glass bottles that has been discontinued).  Used one of those for awhile until it got stuck on my finger and I tossed it.  But there is nothing that sings like glass for the weight.

  Nice Job Buddy!

Take Care;
Doug
