Pick A Bale Of Cotton

I haven’t done any multitracking in the studio for a long time, so I thought I’d have a bit of fun. Just a very loose version of the old Leadbelly song “Pick A Bale Of Cotton” on: 2 acoustic guitars, acoustic bass guitar, electric guitar, cajun accordion and fiddle. The fact that I’m a complete novice on the cajun accordion and fiddle didn’t deter me one whit. I have no shame. As I say – just a bit of fun on 2 chords…
