Today’s theme was ‘Dear …’ As in the beginning of a letter.
When you have some of Melbourne’s greatest country players in your band, surely you would eventually play some Hank. Think fool!
‘Dear John’ is one of Hank’s break-up songs. A bitter little piece.
The song is cheered up a little with scintillating playing by Ed Bates and Greg Field.
Violin and yelling – Greg Field; Bass and yelling – Nathan Farrelly; Maton Steel Guitar and yelling – Ed Bates; Accordion and yelling – Dave Evans; Yelling & Guitar – Dan Warner
