Looks like quite a few folks came over here from that site.<br /><br />Always happy to let folks know about excellent musicians such as yourself who they may not encounter from mainstream sources.

I wrote it for my youngest son, Gordon, who was born in the year of the rooster and struts around quite a bit. He is also a very fine producer and sound engineer (Neon Glitter Bliss--and now quite a few others from the NYC community) and recorded and mixed quite a bit of "A Secret Life Of Banjo"--so although the CD is technically self produced--it has the benefit of being worked over by a pro. :)<br />I'm working on a new cd right now and Gordon will have his hand in this one too. :)MARY Z COXhttp://maryzcox.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-57100869014350762302009-08-06T03:41:36.871-07:002009-08-06T03:41:36.871-07:00Blind Lemon Jefferson?

One of the great delights of blogging is being exposed to the kind of music that you wouldn't normally listen to. It stops us being introspective, it widens our horizons, it exposes us to new pleasures. Thanks John, there was a great deal of pleasure in that post.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-42641447178827277542009-08-05T06:17:54.343-07:002009-08-05T06:17:54.343-07:00FANTASTIC!

As far as farm songs rooted in Oklahoma, my first idea would be Woody Guthrie's Dust Bowl songs, like "So Long It's Been Good To Know You" or "Talking Dust Bowl Blues" or "Dust Pneumonia." Thanks for your kind words!<br /><br />Willow: Yes, I hear it's been cool & rainy in the east. We got off to a slow start, but from about July 4 onward it's been hot weather as usual.

I wish I could think of some for my blog. <br /><br />In all the years I've been in Oklahoma and Kansas, I've never heard or seen the old school bales to which you referred. <br /><br />You've made me wonder about farm songs rooted in Oklahoma. Any ideas? I'll give it some thought, too. Really great post, John. Enjoyed it. Now, I'll watch a video or two.Jennifer Chronicles (jenx67.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14420405638287265650noreply@blogger.com
