Thread Name: Lyr Req: 16 Words (parody '16 Tons', Thom Bresh)
Subject: Politcal Parody
I tried to get this info out but with another title that pretty much went overlooked. Thom Bresh was in town this weekend and as usual had a surprise or two. This year he was using his dualette guitar, a dreadnaught on one side and baritone guitar on the other along with Keith style tuners to take the low E down to D and back. The performance included some incredible picking and several songs worth notice, Hillbilly Hell, Guitar In The Window, and Sixteen Words. There was also another about prying the guitar from his cold,dead hands, but I did not get the title.

"16 Words", complete with Thom's fingerstyle picking, the wireless dualette, and a touch of humor is a playful non-partison look at US presidents of recent history and is only 99 cents to download.

You can get a look at Thom's guitar and find the song at
