Steemit Open Mic Week 45 Poor Boy (cover)
Epiphone Hound Dog Dobro
Hi there fellow Steemians
I don't have time to sort out another original at the moment (to a vaguely listenable standard anyway!) so this week I am covering another of my favourite pieces by the late great John Fahey. This slide instrumental is "Poor Boy" and on the original, Fahey somehow arranged for a dog to bark during the recording session. He then quietened the animal with a simple "shhhhsh....shhhsh". At the time, that impressed me almost as much as his playing. I'm afraid have no such prop for my rendition of the piece and I am hoping you enjoy it, despite this slight lack of true authenticity.
I am now looking forward to watching the other contributors to the open mic event.
I love the variety of music and instruments you play. Always refreshing every week! this one's a beaut!
Thank you Oliver. I couldn't wish for a better comment, particularly coming from one as good as yourself. 👍😊
Thats awesome dude!, great playing!... I want to learn that style of playing some day :D
Cheers man. Live the dream, go for it!

Well, since you ask so nicely... perhaps on second thoughts, sorry! I must admit, I actually polished it a little before I did my bit on it. 😊
