You know I would love to see Tim live, but really this is the best seat in the house and I can repeat as often as I like. Definitely my favorite artist, I never get bored he's so eclectic and versatile.
In The Gravel Yard -Malcolm B. Pulley jr CHORUS: [1]In the gravel yard, with a [4]number for my [1]name Making little rocks out of [5]big rocks all [1]day Oh, the work is mighty hard [4]in the gravel [1]yard I’ll never be a [5]free man, so they [1]say <break> Warden hear my plea, [4]listen now to [1]me I killed a man that [5]I caught with my [1]wife You’d have probably done the same, so [4]why am I to [1]blame Sentenced to the [5]rest of my [1]life <chorus><break> In the driving rain [4]with a ball and [1]chain My hammer rings a [5]low mournful [1]sound It sings a little song for the [4]ones who done me [1]wrong Who lie beneath the [5]cold, cold [1]ground <chorus><break><chorus>.
Man… he really was one of the absolute best, ever. I’ve never seen this video before and he said so many things that I relate to and that resonated with me. Thanks for sharing this.
So cool how Darol sneaks in a phrase from the Jazz song "Blue Moon" into his solo. I love when musicians do that! I am a guitar player but if I ever decide to try my hand at playing the violin I'm going to take lessons from Darol. 😊
Also want to say, I don’t believe it is customary for Grier to play a particular line over and over like he does here. It’s come out in interviews, he gets bored doing that. But, you can tell he found what he was going for with this riff, so he broke his custom. It works for me, though I am afraid this comment of mine will sound like a bunch of gibberish.
