Salt River Town (a love song for my little town) ~ Chris Okunbor by Chris O (2) published on 2020-10-20T20:43:17Z https://youtu.be/2bh5B0MGWfg Such a lovely little town, it deserves its own love song. Banjo, lapslide & vocals Chris O Audio Chris O Salt River Town (c)Chris Okunbor, October 2020 Springing rains are here again, ground is soaking down. Rolling clouds come darkening, chasing folks from town. Front porch singing, banjo ringing. Front porch ringing, banjo singing. Gonna get me a line, get me a pole, go fishing in a crayfish hole. Rollin rains are here again. Springing clouds come a-darkening, Around, Salt River Town. Rollin rains are here again, springing clouds come a-sparkling, the waters round Salt River Town. Sister's Creek's got a crayfish creep, but they're running like the devil from me. Flathead hiding at the Bend in the River, now its hurry on home for tea. Front porch ringing, banjo singing. The front porch ringing, banjo singing, wise-up, about what’s enough. Darkening clouds are here again. And the rolling rain comes a-blowing in, Whoa, Salt River Town. Hear the ringing, hear the singing. Front porch ringing, banjo singing, learning, the meaning of enough. Oh you know we love, the waters around Salt River Town. Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by David Husted Music Excellent Song....love it 2022-11-22T21:57:18Z Comment by GrevusAnjl Perfect voice, and beautiful banjo playing. I've probably said it before, but your music brings back memories of Oh Brother Where Art Thou (Probably because the movie was so visceral, and really created a love in me for this style of music). 2021-11-02T20:46:23Z Comment by GrevusAnjl Like getting transported back in time. You create wonderfully timeless music, Chris. :) 2021-11-02T20:41:08Z Comment by _DS Ah I love this! 2021-09-26T13:57:08Z Comment by Chris O (2) @user-138663860: Thanks Sandy ...you are very kind. xxx 2021-07-26T12:12:21Z Comment by Scott Culver Thomson I found your tracks via repost. Great find. The music would stand on its own in a foreign language. But I most appreciate creative content with perception and just the right touch of irony. You are my instant favorite on SoundCloud. 2021-07-25T17:04:10Z Comment by The Gobi Desert Canoe Club Great job, feel like I’ve been there 2021-05-12T16:36:48Z Comment by David Skellenger A fine bit of "porch music"!! Love everything about it! 2021-04-17T01:19:59Z Comment by lonesome d string band Loving listening to this again tonight, a wonderful addition to the tradition of hometown love songs, puts me in mind tonally of John Martyn's 'Woodstock.' Always love to hear your banjo picking alongside that slide, Chris! 2021-04-05T21:33:47Z Comment by Peter Annear Love this sound, Chris. Good to hear that banjo.

Oh, except I never knew of anyone rushing home for tea. But yes, you do learn the meaning of enough. Instrumentation is fascinating. 2021-01-25T22:25:43Z Comment by Chris O (2) @user-138663860: Thanks Sandy x Did you see the video?
