Anyone who's gotten to hear David playing around a campfire at WW School knows what talent he has! Your smooth delivery of all those town names is quite impressive!

Thank you for sharing with us all. Looking forward to hear you pick and grin around a campfire. I'll try to provide a fire. You should not hunger, nor thirst, nor lack a chair to sit in from this audience. We like you and your talents.

Thanks, Jim! I got an inquiry from "Talkin' Outdoors," the AETN program put on my Steve Wildman Wilson, and I told them they were welcome to use it. As of this morning it's been viewed 10,635 times!!

Y'all are cracking me up. Brad, multi-track recording software is a wonderful thing. Getting all the words out was challenging enough, but the real problem was that there's nowhere to catch a breath. So I'd record one or two lines, skip a couple while breathing, record a couple more, skip a couple more, and so on. Then go back and record a second and third track filling in the lines I'd skipped. It's magic!

Dave and others, this is really interesting:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27ve_Been_Everywhere
(If that link doesn't work, just go to wikipedia and search for "I've Been Everywhere."

Curtis, makes me want to memorize the song, too, but I probably never will, partly for the reason cited above. I just can't do it live without stopping to breathe in the middle of things.

Thank you, Heather. That's very kind. Thank you, Eric.

Dave Robertson, definitely on Facebook, and I see that you shared it, thank you!
