Hobo Living: Freight Train Hopping in New York State
In June 2005 I decided to go to New York to have a go at freight train hopping after having spoken to an online friend who used to do it many years ago. Even though I wasn't able to film the best parts of the trip (sneaking around freight yards at night, avoiding security, boarding moving trains and messing about on the tops of the carts at 50mph at night) I still managed to film a decent amount which I've edited into an 8 minute montage. One thing is for sure though, I'm going to do this again in a lot more depth with much better video equipment. Rock on!
By the way, if you want to read a pretty detailed account of the whole trip and see loads more feedback then go to this page: http://www.bravedaveempire.com/empire/freight/index.php

Freight Train - fingerstyle guitar solo
http://nylonguitarist.com
This classic piece of fingerpicking was written by Elizabeth Cotten around 1907. While I was recording this video I realized how totally irrelevant the words are to my life. It's all well and good for Peter, Paul and Mary but I felt pretty silly singing these lyrics. With each verse that I sang I was starting to go "round the bend". I think I'll shut my mouth in future and just play the damn thing.

DELMORE BROS-FREIGHT TRAIN BOOGIE
A MAJOR HIT FOR THE DELMORE BROS IN 1946.The Delmore Brothers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Delmore Brothers)
Alton (1908-1964) and Rabon Delmore (1916-1952), billed as The Delmore Brothers, were country music pioneers and stars of the Grand Ole Opry in the 1930s.
The brothers were born into poverty in Elkmont, Alabama, as the sons of tenant farmers amid a rich tradition of gospel musicand Appalachian folk.[1] Their mother, Mollie Delmore, wrote and sang gospel songs for their church. The Delmores blended gospel-style harmonies with the quicker guitar-work of traditional folk music and the blues to help create the still-emerging genre of country. In addition to the regular six-string acoustic guitar, the duo was one of the few to use the rare tenor guitar, a four-string instrument that had primarily been used previously in vaudeville shows.
In 1925--Alton's at the age of 13, wrote his first song "Bound For the Shore" (co-written with his mother) published by Athens Music Co.
In 1931 The Brother's did their first recording session for Columbia; cutting, "I've Got the Kansas City Blues" and "Alabama Lullaby" which became their theme song.
In 1933 they signed a contract with Victor Record's budget label Bluebird and became regulars on the Grand Ole Opry variety program. Within three years, they had become the most popular act on the show.
Disagreements with Opry management led to the brothers leaving the show in 1939. While they continued to play and record music throughout the 1940s, they never achieved the same level of success they had with the Grand Ole Opry.
in 1946 they expanded from their acoustic two-piece arrangements into full-band backup, with bass, mandolin, steel guitar, fiddle, harmonica, and additional guitars. Some of those additional guitars were supplied by Merle Travis
The most important backup musician on these sides was Wayne Raney, who played a "choke" style of harmonica that was heavily influenced by the blues. The Delmores were also leaning increasingly towards uptempo material that reflected the upsurge in Western swing and boogie-woogie.
By the end of 1947, they were also using electric guitar and drums. Raney (who also sang) in effect acted as a third member of the Delmores in the late '40s and early '50s, when they plunged full-tilt into hillbilly boogie. These are the most widely available and, in some ways, best Delmore Brothers sides. They were also the most successful, and in the late '40s the brothers reached their commercial peak, releasing a series of hard-driving boogies with thumping back beats and bluesy structures.
The Brothers recorded "Hillybilly Boogie," "Steamboat Bill Boogie," "Barnyard Boogie," "Mobile Boogie," "Freight Train Boogie," and even "Pan American Boogie." These were usually exciting performances featuring extended guitar solos that clearly looked forward to the rock era.
Their best-known song, "Blues Stay Away From Me," is regarded by some as the first rock and roll record. It was covered by Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps.
Rabon died of lung cancer in 1952. Alton, shaken by this loss, the loss of his father, the death of his young daughter Susan, and his own heart attack all within a three-year period, Settled back in Huntsville, Alabama, Alton taught some guitar, did odd jobs, and devoted his creative energies to writing prose, first a series of fictional short stories, then the ambitious work of his autobiography, He also wrote his autobiography, Truth is Stranger than Publicity, published posthumously in the 70's.
Over the course of their careers, the Delmores wrote more than one thousand songs. Some of the most popular were Brown's Ferry Blues, Gonna Lay Down My Old Guitar and Fifteen Miles from Birmingham.
The Delmore Brothers were inducted into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame in 1989 and the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2001. Their pioneering contribution to the genre has been recognized by the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.
Bob Dylan was quoted in the Chicago Tribune,on November 10th 1985 as saying "The Delmore Brothers, God, I really loved them! I think they've influenced every harmony I've ever tried to sing."
