Steemit Openmic Week 74 - The Ghost of Tom Joad, cover of Bruce Springsteen

This is the title track of Springsteen's album, and it's a belter. One of my favourite albums for sure. Tom Joad is the main character in John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath, which is possibly one of my top 3 novels of all time. I adore the language and the story. It's perhaps the novel that moves me the most artistically. It speaks to my very soul, if that doesn't sound a little too wack-a-doodle.

So naturally when I heard the Springsteen song I just had to learn it! I can't believe I got to sit outdoors in February, so I'm filled with gratitude that I had the chance to do that.
