My friend Bob Pickins did some background harmonies with me live a couple of weeks ago at a coffee shop here in town ... I posted it on youtube if you wanted to hear this version of Owens Appalachia. This one is for you GNU ...

anyone is free to copy my music for non sale purposes. I have only sold CDs as fund raisers for autistic kids ... never for me...

anyone is free to perform any song I wrote. I only ask if you are going to record a song I wrote on a CD for sale that you ask me first. I have never told anyone no, can't see a time where I would but if I sold the rights to a song (haven't yet) I would not want to cause BMI issues.

I have the "master" for sending US copies, to save John the US/UK postage, and I feel exactly the same way he does about "costs." I agree that no charge for copies is necessary, and that any donations to the Cat would be welcome but are not required.

Just in case frogprince's comment above may have caused a bit of confusion.

Anyone is welcome to a copy of the CD and there is NO charge, but if recipients feel that they would like to make a donation to Mudcat that's great, but not compulsory

Popcorn really was a folk hero by any definition. I wish some of the fine writers here on the cat would write more songs about the guy. He is everything folk legends are about don't ya think ... what a character. I can't remember which one of our catters.. told me they had some of his "shine" and it really was the best

that was cool John, great pictures. There is great story about the song that I told before on mudcat. I wrote it for popcorn sutton a famous moonshiner after he passed away. I never met the guy. Some of his friends heard it and sent me some great photos of Popcorn and told me they now play the song in their trucks when they make their illegal moonshine runs LOL

I didn't remaster I just converted from mp3 to wav and tidied some endings up, but Dan apparently had re recorded them and the sound is quite good now.

You re-mastered, right? I remember how wonderful you made ME sound, and I can't wait to hear your Dan. :~) He already sounded good, but.... you sure have that touch!

Most of the catter's have heard these all before, they were on my cd called South Bound Train" I re-recorded them because I have been struggling trying to understand the whole "recording concept" and trying to get it as right as I can because I have a new CD of originals that I want to do a better job with when I complete it.   I thank all of you for your help. You surprised me John and I do thank you very much and your video work is amazing.

also wrote the old picker which I dedicated to Art Thieme cause it is his time and Kendall, and Jacqui, and Dan that got the grammy nomination. It is their time for sure ... Like I said I just write and play for my friends and kids, those guys along with most of the other fine musicians here on the mudcat are the real deal ...
