Thread Name: Origins: Diamond Joe -- source of tune?
Subject: RE: 'Diamond Joe' -- source of tune?
Michael Cooney recorded Charlie Butler's song a capella on one of his albums for Front Hall. Records. I worked out what I thought was a very O.K. guitar backup for Diamond Joe. One of these days my intent is to try to get another CD or two out. There's lots of unissued songs & stuff from live shows. Dennis Cook is digitizing those things as we speak. So we will see.--------- I used to toss in this verse sometimes:---

Sometimes I do think,
That you're too sweet to die,
And sometimes I think, Maybelle
That you ought to be burried alive.
