Grammy winner, Norman Blake, gave me his permission to teach this song. A mainstay of my repertoire for over 40 years, this tune is among the most requested. My arrangement incorporates a back-beat �chuff� which brings the train to life. The churning wheels and falling barricades are wedded into a wistful but hopeful song story about being a fair-weather bum. The techniques you will learn will soon show up in your other songs!
