Good song Amos! Need to see more like it. Not much for pubs or bars but I sure like the specificity and the characters you presented. I'd like to see this kind of a model for folkstyle writing rather than the chest-beating rants you hear these days or the psuedo-profundity of poppy love ballads done in a breathy or growly over-dramatic pinched vocal style .

The best thing is to write your own songs but study the masters...Woody, Jean Ritchie, Christopherson, Prine, Jimmy Driftwood and be sure to study the anonymous folk music from the world of cultures.
