A link to some true music history. My father in law is a Jimmy Driftwood fan and if you follow this link or just type in "Jimmy Driftwood". You will get FOLK MUSIC as it truly should be.

There is an extra story here, about WHY Johnny Horton got all the credit, but, Jimmy Driftwood was a true treasure of the folk tradition.
Oh i loved that Ozymandias
Reminded me of childhood years. Us kids used to sing it. Sweeping broom handles at the ready
to fire our guns 
We listened to this guy singing it. Lonnie Donegan. He was a British skiffle player

Yes, Skiffle music was a relative of appalachia/bluegrass music...or more to the point, music for the people. Folk music at it's best. I loved Lonnie Donegan.
The story behind that tune, was that the record company executives wanted Jimmy Driftwood to record it,............IF he would take out the D**n and H**L. He refused, Johnny Horton would do it their way. The rest is history. You should check out the other Jimmy Driftwood videos there, playing on a homemade guitar, made from a fence post and his great-great grandmothers headboard of her bed. And at 80+ years of age picking a tune with very nimble fingers in the Carter family style tradition.
God, I love music!
I love old country stories. Here is John Denver. He was quite a performer.

The Everly Brothers were at Parris Island Marine Corps boot camp at the same time I was there.
I never saw them. Heard they did well.

I had totally forgotten about this classic in the sixties. It was one of my favorite songs back then. The Blues Magoos, Tobacco Road.

Been going through my fat book writing songs down to lower keys.
Crosby, Stills and Nash did "Southern Cross" in "A".
So did I when I was young as they were.
I am doing it in "E" these days.
