Wandering around RU-vid and stumbled on this. Simple,stunning and beautiful. One of those songs that you feel you know as soon as you hear it. Pure heart music.
If only more people knew about Willy. One of the best people I've ever known and, in my opinion, one of the best artists our great country has ever produced. Spread the word! :)
Yes, it Absolutely is... the first time i heard it on a Good Luck Thrift Store Outfit CD. i played it easily 20 times, and the album daily for months.. im already on my 4th repeat now tonight. haha The Best.. so Pure and to the Heart...
I'm also from Calaveras County (Murphys) and am lucky enough to have moved back here ten years ago. Grew up on 140 and this song could have been written about my childhood...amazing!!!! and so cool to see other Calaveras people on RU-vid :)
Young When I left Home Willy Tea Taylor G Em C Am Cm I don’t remember much but I do remember this That old pickup truck rolling over the ditch Where me and my brother catch bullfrogs all day long Some days we’s naked just running in the sun The radio was playing some sad country song Didn’t know my heart was breaking as the truck it rolled on It was too complicated for me to understand I was young when I left home where those eagles used to land My ma was humming soft like a butterfly would sing As the gravel crunch beneath us with the beat of every wing As the truck it rolled on I standing on the seat As we crossed cattle guard where we’d walk down to the creek I caught my first crappie on that Snoopy fishing pole I was young when I left home and that lonely fishing hole The sun was settin fast and the dust kept on flyin As we went over the bridge that would flood in the wintertime You couldn’t see that bridge with the water flowin by My old man he’d cross it with his eyes closed every time And I never stopped to think that I wouldn’t see it again I was young when I left home and joined up with the wind I was young when I left home ridin in the wind I was young when I left home, I’m still out here in the wind.
Check out my interview with Willie Tea Taylor: www.mixcloud.com/MikeCobb/episode-10-willy-tea-taylor/ I discovered him by chance while surfing RU-vid via the Gondola sessions. His music leapt out & pierced my heart. So glad I got to meet, hang, & rap with him. He really is a special dude.
Yep, I do think he uses DGBD, which is an open G tuning, like a 5 string banjo, w/o the short string. I've used that on my tenor guitar with good results.
Nice spot to do some sustainable ag , I have two velomobile projects on the go , no money but parts are coming in . The second velomo. is a land trike that disassembles and stores in sailing canoe . The canoe has the capacity to sleep (lightning protection, faraday cage ) and cook , plus composting toilet detaches from the towing velo , so you can leave the canoe and travel with towing velo which is now carrying the removable com. toilet for extending comfort and not being a phoquen burden on the communities , so basically your not leaving your shit behind , but the urine if need be can be left on the road shoulder heheheh mixing to much ammonia in the humanure composting process is the major characteristic of determining the size of the composting toilet . There're exceptions like the bear population plus bear attitude in the immediate area heheheh bears eat humanure better to use heat to get rid of humanure in some cases , like when turning humans to ashes , forgot what the word is
TFrills cremation more carbon monoxide , better off with sea burials , in salt water for me ....rules says it must be able to move with just the pedals in case batteries go dead , finding bike parts suited for salt water is more expensive , Today I worked on the trike that disassembles and stores in sailing canoe that was towed on electric powered trailer . This trike is store bought but the canoe is in progress ....my shop is not heated so spending time on google , Is school getting hectic ....hope all is well , the snow scene is spectacular , it was 34 today so went outside , have to toke outside my wife is back
Late bloomer Awesome! haha if it aint heated then wear a jacket. Yeah school is insanely hectic. The last few weeks have been really stressful. I got manipulated by some girl and stayed up for 48 hours drinking. Then i got sick and now I have all these red bumps all over me. It sucks. Plus school projects and whatnot, dealing with friends. Im on the verge of having no friends haha. Im got this obsessive personality that seems to be culminating toward mental illness. Anyway, you should take a picture of the snow scene. How much do you toke a dayy?
TFrills five or six , I use a one hitter , with push cleaning plunger , I take prescribed codeine for pain but want to go somewheres else to eat pot instead , This place is loaded with religious morons and the winters suck.....ya I didn't not like the pace at school , 40 hrs plus homework , phoque that except for the potential of finding a job one is better off self taught .....sounds like you need I few wilderness walks to clear your head ....did she really twist your arm heheh...is it a long ways to the beach ....if you gonna go nuts do it near the beach , people will think you're having fun , seriously a beach drunk ...one good woman , one who laughs at lot ...in the face of stress....do you smoke everyday , Vancouver canada now has pot available at vending machines , must those californian moving in hehehe....When I was in Cal about 40 years ago , had the greatest time in my life ....Dude cheer up you are in a good spot , life is lot worse elsewhere .....drink your milk after you get sick on alcohol hehehe OH one more thing , the easier it is to pick the chick the worst is the after affect heheh...I wasn't always married and faithful ....thanks for the company
