Listen to "Show 268: Christmas Special 2025" on Spreaker.

Merry Christmas everyone!  We have a tradition on this show to do a very special episode for Christmas.  This is my gift to you and I hope you will enjoy it with friends, family and loved ones, but especially with your kids and grandkids.  This show is about the things that matter.... hint, it isn't the stuff.  It is the people and the memories, things no amount of money can buy.

Tune of the week:

Richland Woman Blues on guitar
I show you how to play Mississippi John Hurt's "Richland Woman Blues". This song was somewhat unique to his repertoire a was an adaptation of the older folk/blues, "Midnight Special". He combined dissonate bluesy slides with a more old-time country style bass pattern.
