Here's my go at an old, old classic.  You've heard it in several of my videos generally when something goofy is going on.

It won't be long before we're drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds... in RFD and inflow.

TUMBLING TUMBLEWEEDS - Gretsch Tennessean Guitar Instrumental

Here is "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" on a 1967 Gretsch Tennessean Chet Atkins guitar. Amp is a Fender Blues Deville on level one so my neighbors don't panic. This was mixed with my iPhone 8 voice memos app as a room mic. I've been beating this guitar up on the road since the late 90's and other than the binding, this guitar is tonk tough. Despite vigorous wailing on the bigsby all night, this guitar holds a tune better than any other electric guitar I have. The F-holes are not cut out on this guitar so much less feedback at high volumes. I had it strobed back in 2005 and the intonations are still spot on.

I remember performing that song with my class in grade three or four as part of a school operetta. Pretty sure it sounded nothing like that polished guitar performance!

Listened to this song on the way to Bowie on May 22 of 2020. Pretty sure it gave me some luck, because I got the Bellevue tornado that day.

This was perfect on a sunny sunday afternoon with a cold brew.
