Geeze, Dan, I didn't even realize that was in the wild!! Thanks.   It's not a cowboy song, though. It's an Al Grierson children's song. You could call it "Old Enough to Make it On Your Own" or "World Goes 'Round in Circles", I guess. I don't know what it was originally titled--I don't think Al ever recorded it.

I got the song on a cassette, years back, from our own Jen Ellen, being played by a friend of hers who had Al's permission to record it, whose name I have forgot.

Thanks for the kind comments. ALways give me a lift!

What a pretty song. Amos, you are in great voice. Did you also overdub the back-up guitar?

don't know why I said cowboy song. I played it about 100 times for my grandson last week. The little guy was kicking his feet and waving his arms. You got a real fan with my year and a half grandson. Along with his grandpa

Appears from notes dug up by my heart's compadre Peace that it is called "Melanie and Sherry Lynn". Yes, it was one of my first experiments in dubbing a second guitar over a recording, and you can tell I hadn't mastered the musical art of timing very well!! :D

Don't you start calling him sir, WF. It could start a trend.

Amos, even before you were real good you were real good. Man, applause from here, and by the looks of it, lotsa other places, too.

Who said cowboy song? Whoever did, maybe it was just because we're used to hearing how well Amos's voice is for cowboy stuff.

Ah, my old pal Mr Jessup, the one and original Troubador, the Human Folk Jukebox, in my mind I see him strolling the Getaway grounds with his flop-brimmed khaki hat, his clothes which look like he slept in 'em, and his Martin strapped 'cross his shoulder. Listening to these songs I am transported to my sweet spot, which is in a chair at the Peace Shack with my chin on my guitar and Amos across from me, and it's 2:18 am and his eyes are red-rimmed and glittering, and a golden bourbon sirocco drifts among the assembled revelers. And I send a silent salute to the muse of sweet serendipity, as should we all, that we have an Amos in our lives.

Love ya, buddy

It's great to come to the Mudcat of a morning, and find these beautiful little gems waiting to be heard.

These things make the day go round.

I'll shut up now!
Well done Amos!

Quite the tune, A. The pauses are dramatic. Seemed awkward at first listen but then, welcome and dramatic. Well done.
