15 Nov 11 - 02:03 PM (#3257595) Subject: RE: Just struck gold on Youtube-Kendall/Weary Hobo From: Sandy Mc Lean Great job Kendall on a great song! Speaking about other versions of the song Goebel Reeves yodelled when he recorded it. I don't think the yodelling added a thing but there were two other great verses that I had not heard before. I believe that they were the third and the last: Do not let your heart be troubled When the world calls you a bum For if your mother lives she loves you You'll always be your mother's son When you die and go to Heaven On every train that you will ride The hard-boiled brakeman and the hobo Sleep in peace there side by side |

15 Nov 11 - 03:04 PM (#3257633) Subject: RE: Just struck gold on Youtube-Kendall/Weary Hobo From: kendall Reeves wrote it but I agree the yodeling did nothing for the song. In fact, it took away some of the poignancy. Kinda like yelling HEE HAW in the middle of Lorena. In later years I also sang those two verses. |

15 Nov 11 - 03:28 PM (#3257643) Subject: RE: Just struck gold on Youtube-Kendall/Weary Hobo From: kendall Guest999 I take that as a supreme compliment. That my friend. I have to admit, I'm no Emmy Lou. Her rendition of Weary Hobo made me tear up thinking of my dear friend, Utah Phillips. |

16 Nov 11 - 07:47 AM (#3258010) Subject: RE: Just struck gold on Youtube-Kendall/Weary Hobo From: kendall I can't say I was fond of her rendition, too much Emmy Lou. I like songs done straight where the singer is just the conductor, not trying to be a star at the expense of the song. That should draw some flak. |

16 Nov 11 - 09:18 AM (#3258050) Subject: RE: Just struck gold on Youtube-Kendall/Weary Hobo From: Rapparee Okay. Kendall's rendition was done at the expense of the song as well! Sitting in a chair with ARMS, playing a guitar in the best manner, sunglasses and either a Greek fisherman's cap or a beret (hard to picture the last), excellent phrasing and technique, never a false note...why, he's better than I am! But that's not admitting much, I guess. Okay, Mr. Morse -- was that enough flak? |

20 Nov 11 - 09:06 PM (#3260653) Subject: RE: Just struck gold on Youtube-Kendall/Weary Hobo From: frogprince I ain't about to be mortified about white sox. A few years back I came accross some printed article claiming that synthetic fabric socks were healthier than cotton sox, especially for sweaty feet. I was in dress shirt and tie work at the time too, so I basically had a pile of black synthetic socks. At least 5 years ago now, my foot and shoe odor got to where it must have at least approached Spaw's gas odor problem. I wear white cotton sox now except for maybe weddings and funerals, and have little or no odor problem. I'd rather have people snickering than backing away and gagging. |
