Nine Pound Hammer, a Medley, and More Keener Originals
Since I am taking the weekend off, I decided to upload a few tunes for your entertainment:
- Nine Pound Hammer, written and originally recorded by the great Merle Travis. I hope he and Chet Atkins do not turn in their graves with my rendition of it: I stole a couple of licks from one of Chet’s recordings of it and added a twist or two of my own. This was one of my Dad’s favorite tunes, and I believe he would have liked this rendition.
- Mr Reed, a little ditty I put together as a tribute to the creative genius of Jerry Reed.
- Medley: Mine Eyes Have Seen The Glory and Precious Memories (one verse of each), a medley my Dad would have liked.
- Who Knows, possibly an original of mine, possibly a variation on a tune someone else made up. I do not know which. A lot of music runs through my mind. Some of it is original and some of it is not and some of it fits the category of “I just don’t know,” like this one does.
Enjoy.
