Would really appreciate your help. John |

The story was about his brother, and is true, except for the Arkansas part--they grew up in Missouri, but that's a lot harder to rhyme. |

Lots of fun when you had a few too many....... (I think I was able to still sing it coherently after about 10 or so beers.....I will poat a midi of myself doing the tune at 2:00am tomorrow.(maybe)) Have fun with it...... Musicman |

Another I have never been able to transcribe; is
Dave Dudley's "There Ain't No Easy Run"...
