Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues

Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues
This is at least my 3rd Dylan cover. Fudged the ending a bit, but close enough. I heard Craig Robertson’s cover, so I had to do it too. I featured C to G sliding. from 0232 to 0787 and the other way 0-11-10-10 to 0433. I took the song on the Zoom tour to the venues below. My best effort was at Gilroy. At Ukulele Rebellion, I could tell going in, I was fatigued. Sure enough, I lost track of the lyrics a couple times; however, I otherwise did not miss a beat and picked up the lyric thread at the appropriate points. Three Zooms a day may be a bit much. I may start limiting them to two.
