Hard Time Blues (Collab)

Lyrics by Jody Dickey and James Odle,Jr. Music,Vocals,and Production by me.
I'm just a 56 year old cement mixer driver who gets laid off every winter for 3 months.I enjoy writing songs and recording them myself at home on my 8 track Boss BR864 recorder.It's just another one of my many hobbies.I just do it for kicks.Just laid back musical enjoyment. I have lots of originals and collabs on my page.My originals are are true stories about me,or people I know,or how I feel about things.Collabs are all efforts of me and my Soundclick friends.Doing collabs is my favorite thing here on Soundclick.Hope ya enjoy some of the tunes.
Band/artist history
Played in Local Bands,at taverns,weddings,benifits,4th of Jully celebrations,etc.. Also played the Rathbun Country Music Theater for a couple of years.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Used to play in local bands and also Rathbun Country Music Theater which is close to where I live.Played the usual bars,weddings,benefits,etc.. I enjoyed playing out when I did,but just got tired of the driving,unloading,setting up,then tearing down,loading back up,driving back home,and unloading again.LOL Still play once in a while for local do'ins. As far as special moments,back in the 80's,my flight instructor and I went to Kansas City Mo. to pick up an airplane.Brenda Lee was playing in a hotel lobby.While I was in the rest room my instructor told her I played guitar,and when I come back,she made me get up there and sing.Not such an easy task when your plasterd.LOL.
