Some great links Iain. The Johnnie Allen classic has been a long time favourite of mine.

Hey! I'm a big fan of Hank and even bigger fan of his grandson Hank Williams III; Try this one; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQAwn1tO1UkStathamender wrote:I won't have anything said against Hank. And if you want clarification on the subject of US attitudes to fishing I suggest you follow the link in my sig. The man who wrote 'Later Alligator' (and many other great songs) supported by the inimitable Delbert McClinton on slide. I'll see you around, when I get back in town........
Love that swamp music too, this is the dogs!; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2NIZexqb4U

Re: A New Shirt, A Classic.
It's on that great collection of swamp rock that the late Charlie Gillet put together Another Saturday Night, re-released by Ace http://acerecords.co.uk/another-saturday-night Also features amongst many fine recordings a standout cover of another Bobby Charles song Before I Grow Too Old by Tommy McLain and a Cajun take on The Hag's Lonesome Fugitive by Belton Richard, the accordionist on the Johnny Allan. Damon! I've got to find that record right now and listen to it.CrayCane wrote:Some great links Iain. The Johnnie Allen classic has been a long time favourite of mine.

What is your favourite word?
I suspect it could be “love”, despite its drawbacks in the rhyming department.
Björn Ulvaeus

Yes, I've got a vinyl copy somewhere. I'll have to dig it out.
Apologies for straying off track of the original subject Scott.

Re: A New Shirt, A Classic.
I hadn't heard of the Woolrich shirt before, but I usually wear similar shirts by Orvis for fishing. The only problem with buying Orvis is working out the sizes...an American market XL is equivalent to about XXXL when it's been made for Europe.....
All the dafter since they are invariably made in Bangladesh or India........nice cotton though!
I'd be wary of baseball caps though, no protection for the ears and a sure way to a BCC or Rodent skin cancer:

It's really common amongst those who spend a lot of time outdoors.....

Try a long wash...it might just be factory 'dressing' making it scratchy.......

I`ve found all shirts and trousers with a high woollen content, itch like bugger, that's why I prefer/wear cotton based......
