Tonight I’d like to offer up a Daily Dose of Big Rock Candy Mountain…
Here’s The Katfish Four
If you have never heard Baby Gramps this version will be an eye-opener for you…this gets cut off at the end but by then you’ll have the plan
I grew up on this next version – Burl Ives. My parents gave me a Burl Ives record when I was a little guy and I wore that vinyl out..
My brother the trout has suggested I learn this one on the canjo…so I’m working on it, and will have my version up as soon as I learn this puppy.
That Baby Gramps is a wild man, isn’t he?
Ya, I’d love to see him live. I think he’s from the Seattle area.
Great songs! The age of the hobo seems ancient. I grew up in the suburbs and never saw one wandering through my neighborhood. I think a canjo is perfect for this song.
