  1. That is wonderful. Didn't know Mr Hurt played a 12-string, nor that you could make G chord leaving your first finger free to hammer on and pull off. And this lyric about how Casey helped hobos:

    "Helped them ride, helped them ride the rods.
    Put their life… in the hands of God."

    Before they had steel frames, freight cars were supported by steel "truss rods" below the floor. Hobos who "rode the rods" would hide out there and indeed put their lives in the hands of You-Know-Who. <img src="http://cumberlandmodelengineering.com/images/167787.JPG"&gt;
