| That nurd singing Honky Tonk Blues is as clueless as Pat Boone singing Tutti Frutti. |

THANKS! That's very cool.
Speedy could "comp" and backup like a champ.

He's singing as if he never heard Hank Williams' version but was sight reading the melody and lyrics from a publishing company's lead sheet.
BTW, Chris: If that's your playing on "Aura Lee" and others on your Tapsteel songlist, you play magnificently.

The melody is very old. And Aura Lee is the original title. You're probably correct in the royalties issue, I would venture to say, the original title is PD.

I can't i.d. them all, but "Setting The Woods On Fire" is Jo Stafford and Frankie Laine; "Oakie Boogie" is Ella Mae Morse; "I'll Never Be Free" is Tennessee Ernie Ford and Kay Starr; and "Y'All Come" is Bing Crosby.
I'm surprised he didn't include "Tennessee Newsboy (The Newsboy Blues)" for Frank Sinatra (reportedly done under duress when Mitch Miller was head of A&R at Columbia).
Good audio quality clips of all of these are on YouTube.
