Adapted to "Battle Of New Orleans" by Johnnie Horton. Great old fiddle tune. Good Post! J.O'.

Re: Eighth of January
The 8th of January 2021 is special to me because my niece who's career Air Force was promoted to Master Sergeant today (E-7).
For anyone who isn't familiar with Air Force rank (such as me).

Re: Eighth of January
Pretty cool, Tim, thanks for posting. That's some sipping music there. In addition to Elvis's birthday I think it is David Bowie's too.
P.S. Congrats to your niece, Jerry.

Re: Eighth of January
Driftwood wrote some good ones, like The Tennessee Stud. I think I read he was a high school history teacher who used to dress up in costume and sing for the students. If it's true that's a great way to teach. J.O'.

Hearty congrats to you, and your niece Jerry. Ranking up that fast is quite the accomplishment, you have much to proud of uncle.
