Hoping I just misread.

Last night's @jakeblount.com set was exactly the stringband music I needed. Horsefly legacy strong. And Megan Jean, who I hadn't heard before, was exactly the right old-school, unapologetic singer-songwriter sauce. A real good show for Jake's old-time send-off.

Hank Williams wrote Alabama Waltz as “a shameless attempt to replicate the success of The Tennessee Waltz". It’s played here by two members of the old time stringband Up Jumped Trouble, Margo MacSweeney & Raistlin Brabson.

Happy 103rd, Hank!

Have a great night.
