The guitar isn’t acoustic, but the vocal is outstanding. A time machine back to the ‘60s.

DoGMAtix, I edited your post so the video would show a preview. To get them to show, while playing, select “Share”, then “Copy”, the paste that directly in to your reply. Leo Kottke is great.

This song always gives me the chills.
Isn't this based on the Mann fire in the late 40's?
Thanks.

That's the one - Mann Gulch Fire, August '49. Crew chief R. Wagner "Wag" Dodge. Tragic.

Thanks. They even used a Ford Tri motor.
Very interesting story. Had heard only small parts of the story before.
Still a very chilling story/song.

I learned to play that song. I sing. I cry. Especially last year.

"carried bodies to the river wondering how I stayed alive"

A friend turned me on to this band. When Tony Rice passed I decided one way I could honor his incredible contribution to the world of music would be to support some up and coming bands.

mention Tony Rice and it brings back soooo many fond memories
