Elwood
Blues
I remembered what I could of the song, looked up some lyrics and the song lineage. Written by Merle in 1946, big hit by Tennessee Ernie Ford in '55. I remember hearing this, JIm Reeves, and Marty Robbins gunfighter ballads around the house when I was a kid. An old song with a new friend.

The stuttering syncopation between voice and guitar and due to "multi-tasking irregularities" (my excuse). I had to put down the clapping separately though.
