Zoomer Roberts: vocal
Buddy Winston: guitar
This is one of the few songs Hank Williams did in a minor key. (Others include Kaw-Liga and Ramblin' Man.) He made a recording of it at KWKH in Shreveport in 1949. It was issued by MGM after his death, but to this day it has received little attention, so I seized the opportunity to include it in the 2003 KTEP tribute show. My feeling about tribute shows is that everybody already knows the artist's most popular songs. It's more enlightening to go spelunking through their catalogue and see what else they did.

What it is...
I've been playing music in the El Paso area for nearly fifty years, and I've accumulated hundreds of tapes along the way. Here they are. Most of these performances were captured with inexpensive portable equipment in living rooms, taverns, houses of worship, festival tents and theatres. Some were recorded off the radio, some directly from public address systems. A few were actually recorded in professional recording studios. Some of these hands are folded now, and some of these voices are stilled. This is what I've done, where I've been and who I've known. This is my scrapbook.
