This is a Roy Orbison song but he did not do this at Farm Aid as far as I know. I didn't go.

Another Roy Orbison song but not a Farm Aid song.
Another Roy Orbison song but not a Farm Aid song.
Jeff Tweedy played this Woody Guthrie song at the 25th Farm Aid, October 2, 2010, in Milwaukee.
And Wilco played this gem from Yankee Hotel Foxtrot at the 2005 Farm Aid in Chicago, IL.
And another Wilco tune, though not played during any of their 3 Farm Aid appearances (4 if you count Tweedy's set in 2010). One of my favorites; from 1996's Being There.

i'm not sure the season needs another homemade song from me, but it's getting one!
to complement "country girl" from a couple of days ago, here's "country boy"
just a lame rhyme or two and a desire to plug in the new uke, really!

Im off to bed a little early tonight. If Im counting right we are up to 84 including Robs 2 songs that have nothing to do with this weeks theme except in his imagination. 
Every single song has been terrific so far!
Tomorrow is a travel day for me but I hope you all keep celebrating these fine artists that gave their time to this cause. And of course keep the originals coming

John Hiatt on 9/11 When New York had her heart broke
On that fiery day When the towers gave way
NY had her heart broke NY had her heart broke
Many heroes died Trying to save someone inside
When NY had her heart broke NY had her heart broke
And I was there that day And I don't know what to say
Except NY had her heart broke
And the daylight fell dark F16's over Central Park
When NY had her heart broke
We were dazed in the streets From the blood and dust and heat
When NY had her heart broke NY had her heart broke
And the world changed that day Forever some will say
When NY had her heart broke
In a million years She couldn't cry more tears
NY had her heart broke NY had her heart broke
Yeah, NY had her heart broke NY had her heart broke
Ahh, but she will rise Again

Walkin' Down to Georgia by Hoyt Axton
...more pauses than I would have liked while I remembered the words. I learned this over 50 years ago. I changed the 6 string reference to 4 string, guitar to uke, and, accidentally, changed "Fresno" to "Southern California."

... why is it always "down" to Georgia? In lots of songs?!!

Sounds like a good title for a song - we've had 'Rainy Day In Georgia'.

I know Sheryl Crow played Farm Aid in 2003 at least. I don't know if she played this one but sometimes you just want to rock out don't you
(Did anyone else think the lyrics said Benny Goodman's corset and pen?)

Tired of grading papers for this week...time for some ukulele sounds in the science lab, like waves crashin' on the beach.

Another Roy song.
Another Roy song.
experimenting with live video. This is recorded to ipad camera and then imported into imovie and then exported to youtube. Not really happy with the audio quality, next time I will try to edit the audio in garage band as described by some fellow members here. Anyway, this is a Blaze Foley song that Merle Haggard discovered and did multiple recordings of. I believe Willie Nelson has done a recording as well . . .
