Sixteen Tons | PREVIEW SCREENING (Patreon)

Good evening everyone! Who's ready to spend some time down in the mine with me?

There's nothing quite like the smell of coal dust, sweat, and fear to make you really enjoy singing bass am I right?

Tennessee Ernie Ford's, "Sixteen Tons", is one of those songs I'd sung over and over again a million years ago and then thought I'd put away forever BUT I should have known better, because in the age of the internet, nothing is really ever gone... it just takes a brief vacation and then comes back with a HEY THERE REMEMBER ME!?

Yup, I sure do. I missed you, too.

I was amused to see more and more people on the ol' internets ask me to sing "Sixteen Tons" and the more I thought about it, the more sense it made. I mean, who better to breathe life into one of the most classically manly songs ever written than a long haired, androgynous, skinny,  girlie man like yours truly. 

So I rolled up my sleeves, gathered my oldest, rustiest, pick axes, and got to work. I hope you enjoy the results of the effort, and as always, THANK YOU for your support, encouragement, and generosity. I couldn't do it without you.

Enjoy the video!
