First done by Dock Boggs back in the 20s, it's a great piece of melancholy parafunalia. Eerie to think it's a suicide note and reassuring to know he was still a tough old bird 40 years later.
one of those 'it was written even before i started' songs that just rolls out like magic
i tried to keep it simple so as not to destroy the vibe
first finished (if unmixed) track for RPM 2010
Surprise!!
There's a video for this now. Not a big production job, but ... actually there's no 'buts'. It's genuine lo-fi small production. My favourite :-)
Cave Street posted a track recently, their contribution to the Woody Guthrie Project, organised by Akron Family.

Eloquent, tuneful and moving - I look forward to perusing the back catalog you've assembled here.
How're things in your neck of the woods? Glad to see you're keeping busy.
Look for a PM from me soon.

Again i'd love some feedback
I like the feel and the mix
do the lyrics work?
recorded t'night in an hour after trying all day to get the verse lyrics rammed into another tune
A fun childrens tune from 2008, it really ought to be a hot fiddle tune but i don't have a hot fiddle.
Old fox coming down the road now Bunny Bunny
Run Run Bunny Bunny Go
White tails bobbing in the air there funny bunny
Go Go Bunny Bunny Run…
Ever since i heard Cave Street's Creator Protector Destroyer (from their 2010 RPM album) run from that song back into the opening didj of Onion Bell (the first track) i wanted to put the lyrics to that pulsing energy, and today i had time to give…

Oh... by the way... acl is finally waking from a very deep slumber…
A tune I wrote and recorded last year as a result of a good friends hungry teenage daughter sitting in the dance tent at the Sunrise festival chanting 'pizza, pizza!'. Working on a new album if yer interested. New tracks soon with any luck.
Tis a true story about a friend, I was fascinated by the concept of friends sharing one black "funeral" dress passing it along like it was a hip handbag
She went to work like any other day
It didn't hit her till that package came
The first…
I wrote this song at a bowling alley in my small hometown in the Panhandle of FL/Lower Alabama
She blew into town on a one night Stand
Over eggs there was no one holding her hand
Just like the sauce
She became a mystery
Just like the…

Sister Savage and Mr Sandbags collaborated on the original of this wonderful heartbreaker of a song. I've been playing it on the guitar the last few days and it always seemed to come out with a grittier tone, so i asked…

A new original from me. Another one-voice, one-guitar, "live" performance in my broom-cupboard. This time it's the good ole tin guitar.
I wrote this one in 2002 during the "dark years" lol. I've ummed and aahed over the years on whether to…
Comments on Gumbo's stuff
Seems like there ought to be 11 or 12 seas by now, what with inflation and all. Hugely enjoyed.
This was fun to listen to...Aarrhhh!
Oh Gumbo, I do love your Pirate Day songs. How the heck do you manage to sound so Cornish? Fascinating! Proper job my 'ansome.
Yeah hooo, shiver me timbers. I love this one. Great sea song. Damn fine.
FNG!
walk de plank matey. Yarrrr.
Yeah, definitely nailed the Woody Guthrie and Billy Bragg feeling. Love it.

this is so sweet! wicked cheeky lyrics
Cool! Missed this one. How's things on the west coast of Eire?
As always, Gumbo, just terrific musicianship! Holy friggin' Woody Guthrie reincarnated!

Every time I get lost while out running this song plays in my head.
hehe very kool
Bunny track is funny and Cloud makes a movie in my head - Refreshing and Cool sounds.
Well done!!
Was not Woody Arlo's dad? I am not as familiar with Woody Guthrie's body of work,homework for me then,this is cool.
My kind of blues,spot on matey,spot on.
This has a cajun zydeco sound and rhythm to it,I can hear accordions or as you say a hot fiddle sawing away behind it,well cool.
Thanks for the comments. Great fun to play along too.

Beaut! I love how you nailed the slow and lazy and slightly manic feel for the band.
Oh yes!

Dilly dally ay!
Love it! Such great imagery in this one and my favourite of these three vignettes
Would you like a cup of tea?
.. and so you should, Tess. the pair of ye came up with a cracking tune that was a joy to cover.
Happy Birthday Woody! 100 years ago today!

Wicked harmony! makes a nice song special!
Great drum guitar sound. Solid. The vocal is a little swamped but what the hell - rockin'
