Country blues with some fine lyrics and vocals. Way to collab guys!

@user-138663860: We both thank you for the listen, Sandy...glad it gave you a little bit of joy.

it's like the listener was there ... looking back at history with good southern voice

Tony & Bob, thank you so much for including my music in your playlist this week! I get to listen in on your music next!! This is storytelling with a melody, guitar, and a history lesson all rolled into one!! Nice work.

Sure love the tone of Bob's Guitar'ing and Vocals in translating your lyrics here, Tony. Drove by some cotton fields the other day on a backroad drive to Mobile to fetch a Martin! ;-) Thought about this tune. Enjoyed.

Probably 98% of SC listeners have not seen & cannot fully appreciate the beauty of a full bloom cotton field. Has to be the right time of year & right part of the USA,  but it's truly a remarkable sight.  Take your breath away.

yeah how times a changin for sure nice to hear this go back in time moment well done
