I want to play. I'm returning from the mountains today. Back in the real world. Maybe I was in the real world and now I'm returning to my fantasy life.
You want a 30-40 minute medley? Or have I misunderstood ?
I tweaked and changed it some, but this is a version of a train song medley Boxcar Willie did on a regular basis. I used to hear him sing it on the Grand Ole Opry, and it always got a great response, and I always liked hearing it. He was such a crowd pleaser anyways, but I always noticed people were singing and clapping along during this. If I ever got brave enough to attempt a nursing home gig, or something of that ilk, this would probably be a good medley to do. This was my third take on this, not close to perfect I know, but I kept this one.
I think nursing homes are probably among the easiest audiences you will ever encounter. The residents are so grateful for something to break up the monotony that they love just about anything you do. And I can promise you that at the nursing home where I play, with the kinds of songs you do, you would be an immediate and big star.
I believe Cash's "Flushed From the Bathroom of your Heart," also has the same tune.
I enjoyed your medley, thanks Alan.
Actually I enjoyed all of the medley's so far.
