My late brother and I played together around the house from the time he came home from the Navy in 1966 until we both got busy doing other things in the early '70s. He sounded like no one else: his singing was, in large part, shouted. His guitar playing was unrelentingly percussive. He wrote hundreds of songs, too. When I find recordings of them I'll post them. When Cliff Seaman installed recording equipment in his garage, my brother and I went over and laid down two tracks. We each got a cassette dub of the session and he all but wore his copy out, he liked it so much. This song, "Bound to Ride," came from a 1930s recording by Fiddlin' Arthur Smith. We sang it together many, many times.
