Homeskoolin’ Happy Holidays From Your Uncle Larry

Chapters
00:00 - Beautiful "Silent Night" rendition


Notes
A very sincere holiday wish to all my dear Homeskoolers….it’s been damn near two years now that you guys have been putting up with old Uncle Larry…he truly appreciates it

I cannot wait to open presents with the precious little ones tomorrow.

One day ill show you guys the brand new black 1979 les paul deluxe i got for Christmas in 1980 when i was 12 years old. My whole family chipped in to come up with the 500 bucks it took to purchase it.

I actually still have it to this day, which is a small miracle considering how “frequently” your old Uncle Larry “liquidates” his gear.

Merry Christmas to all!

Homeskoolin’ Bonus, “George F. Root”

Chapters
00:00 - Nice beautiful, slow version of song


Notes
A little Homeskoolin style adaptation of “Battle Cry Of Freedom”….or “Rally Round The Flag”…a song that actually was used by BOTH sides during the Civil War at various times….as a songwriter, that’s when you know you got a hit right there.
I learned of this song as a wee lad through a couple heroes of mine...Tom Britt and Ry Cooder.
