Thread Name: How deep do you go musically?
Subject: RE: How deep do you go musically?
Some years ago, I did a performance at the Sounding board in Hartford CT. I never stick to folk and traditional stuff strictly, so, I sang "Blue Eyes Crying in the rain" After the program, a young man came to me and said" I really liked that "Willy Nelson song" you did. Well, of course I had to have a bit of sport with him, so, I said Willy who? he stumbled around a while and finally said that "blue eyes song". "Oh, you mean Blue eyes crying in the rain", I said. " then continued, "I learned that song from Roy Acuff back when Nashville was a trading post." He looked puzzled, and walked away. I always love to have fun with young folks who think I'm a lot older than I really am.
