My mom had this on vinyl and as a kid I remember on this snowy winter day she was listening to this song and had tears in her eyes. I said "what's wrong mom?" And she said "oh it's just this song, it's so beautiful." I cherish that memory of her and this song.
James Callypso and his song I Drew a Picture of My Dick is what got me into music. His concert at Carnegie Hall is where I asked my wife to marry me. It's been a long road but I'll never forget how his voice lit my soul on fire. Thank you for rescuing this precious recording so the future knows what real love sounds like.
I distinctly remember the recipient of the titular drawing wrote a song in response to this song. The Linda Ronstadt inspired "Why'd you mail me a drawing of your thumb?"
Does anyone genuinely want to tab out the guitar chords for this? It's my wife and I's anniversary soon, figured it'd be a beautiful present to her to perform this.

Saw him open for Dylan in '64. We were passing around Mexican grass and drinking Blatz. Times were easier then.
I remember that tour,..wild times.
You're so lucky.
Ah, great times. I remember schtooping your girlfriend. Boy were we high.
You had me at Blatz.
Wish I was there mate, sounds incredible
Who knew my Dating Strategy had a song all these years.

He also played the Royal Albert, as I remember...
Restores my faith in Folk music.
Sometimes the best gifts are the ones that come from the heart.
Ed Sheeran credits James Callypso as a major influence and inspiration.
I'm 49 and its never been as good as this real music, back when my old man would drive around.
This might be the greatest song of all time.
No might about it. This is lyrically brilliant. It’s a perfect song.
It all went to hell when Calypso went electric. 😢
JUDAS!
This stuff is so much better than when he went electric.
Very heartfelt and inspiring, thank you.

I'm fucking dying 🤣
I gave my wife a vinyl single of this song for Valentine’s Day.
I did my picture with disappearing ink. Lifelike.

Heartfelt inspiring message
I learnt to draw listening to this..
Man they don't make folk music like they used to
Anthony Weiner has described I Drew You A Picture as the song that set his direction in life. A seminal influence, as it were.
I can’t draw but I can trace.
Brilliant 😂
FKN GOLD!!
👏👏👏👏
Does anyone have a clip of the Manchester Free Trade Hall gig where James adopted a more electric sound and someone shouted “Judas”?
