A week or so ago a friend of mine and fellow entertainer Kent Gill sat in with me for the evening.
Kent plays great fiddle, mandolin, but on this one he played guitar. I did the rest of Roland EA7.
The song is faithful to the original version of Midnight Special, which was written and recorded by a Shreveport resident, Hudie Ledbetter, better known as "Ledbelly".
Thought you might enjoy hearing it. Kent is singing it.

Great stuff, Don ... Nice harp playing ...
Any relation to Vince ?

Very nice work and recording Don! Great playing and singing!

Really liked that...

Very enjoyable guys.

Thanks everyone. I recorded most everything we did that night, and just put it on a CD to give to Kent, although he already has a lot of studio recordings of himself.

Don, thanks for sharing...sounds great! Does this gentleman sit in with you from time to time?

Yes, he is one of 3 or 4. The others are better guitar players, but Kent plays several instruments. I like his voice too.
Maybe one every month or so one of them will come by. In the old days James Burton joined me a lot, but he is too busy traveling these days. I did see him at a funeral the other day. Seems like I see a lot of friends at funerals lately.

Don. NICE ONE !

Very nice!!!!

Super duo!

Great rendition, Don:

I agree, Kent has a great voice (much like his Keyboard Playing Pal) and having a front row seat would have been nice. Thanks for sharing... Midnight Special will be a nice addition to my collection. That's what I call entertainment. Please wish Kent my best... and thanks to you both.

Thanks so much Don

Cool, I really got the feeling I was in Shreveport, good stuff as always.

A bit belated but compliments all the same Don, sounds really pro.
Does this mean we can also welcome the rest of that night's recordings somehow somewhere ?

kind regards
John

When I get a chance I'll convert and upload the whole night, and post a link. I have it in WAV format, and made a CD in Windows Media Player, but have not converted them to MP3, except for the song I posted.
Some of the songs are better than others.
I do appreciate all the nice comments!

Wow! That song sure brings back some fond, old memories. Sounds like you guys were having lots of fun.

All the best,

Gary

Don, enjoyed very much, Thanks,
Lee
