My favorite of Dad's original songs. Comes from talking to hobo's on the AGS line in the 1940's. The rail line ran about 100 yards from the front door of the log cabin dad was raised in.
Cool! I tried to include an image of him from around the time of the recording. I’m from Georgia, so I’ve driven past Rising Fawn on I-59 a few times (also visited Cloudland Canyon SP)
It’s hard to choose, but my favorite is either this one or The Railroad Days. I can’t find too many live recordings of either unfortunately. How is your dad doing these days?
@@TheCalman123 He is doing very well. His doctor said about 3 weeks ago that he is in better health now than when he was 60. His mind is very, very sharp. He plays probably 6-8 hours a day. He will be 87 in March.
@@TheCalman123 I live in Pelham, AL now. I am nearly blind and can't drive so my wife and I live near our youngest son. It is only 2 hours from Dad so I get to see him.

@@leeblake3989 That’s great to hear! It was wonderful to hear his playing on the new album with the Cashes and Jamie Hartford
