Oh-fer-two, so I guess that extrapolates to, "not well at all."

Funny, I was playing/singing all my Utah Philipps train songs yesterday and a few others. Fortunately it was in my banjo man cave and I evaded being arrested. banjered

Joe is no slouch!!!! He got those songs in about 2 seconds each, with confidence! I can do that on most of the old stuff, but not much of the new stuff (new means Chris Jones won't play it on TrueGrass). I couldn't do that well -- even knowing the un-announced category!



The only one I totally missed was Count Sparkula.

I'm missing the Mother Of All Train Songs, Steve Goodman's City Of New Orleans....

My favorite Steve Goodman /David Allan Coe train song is You Never Even Called Me By My Name.
