Here's one of my favorite recent (and mostly unheard of) artist's update!

 

[The Guilds of Grot]

I'm sort of partial to this version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CNYg9RoSXY

That bass player looks kind of familiar!

(I posted this the other day on the 3rd but I guess it got lost in the change over.)

Oh well, I just said thanks to Terry for posting this link. A classic song that's as good today as it was back then.... thanks for posting!!

I lost access on Monday right after submitting a post and trying to go back to the top of "New Posts", but one I'd completed before that stayed. That's probably what happened to you too.
More important, have you checked you bank accounts recently?

Oh yeah, back on topic, yep, great tune, deceptively simple, but getting the playing rhythm just right is tricky!
When you do, you can just feel the humid swampy air makin' the spanish moss hang limp in the trees... ya really need to learn to play that one in the house, Tom.

I'm not sure if the humidifiers can get it THAT wet in here, Al!!! HAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAA!!! It's worth a try, though.....

Well, we know what happened to Billie Joe but what ever happened to Bobbie Gentry?:

I think the definitive version is the original one that Terry posted. Here's a link to that one without all the NBC Rock and Roll of the 60's plastered all over it. Same version though...... it's riveting!! http://youtu.be/HaRacIzZSPo

Same version though...... it's riveting!!

I'm still "flying deaf"... I really gotta work on that, but "HEY TOM!!! Yer InBox is full and it won't take my pm!!".
:wink:

I know, Al. I just sent you a PM about it.... should be good now.
