Every Tuesday, step by step, I’m walking with my readers from A to Z, last week we had the “NNN”-challenge, so this week we’ll take “O” – I’m sure you’ll also find a photo, a story or a music title tagged with “O”! Feel free to add in the comments below the link to your personal interpretation of the letter “O”!!! Myself I’ll focus on the ballad “Banks Of Ohio”:
OHIO
me, trying to finger out on my acoustic guitar the melody of the BANKS OF OHIO:

Hi Frizz, your music always makes me smile. Ohio. What a beautiful choice. My O contribution is Oldtown Bratislava. 🙂 Here’s the link!

about the sculpture, looking out of a whole: “this man is forever stuck here as he likes looking up women’s skirts…” – I suppose it is a World War 2 hero, resistance, fighting from under the boardwalk?

I thought right away of Odes so I’m attaching Another Ode. But Banks of the Ohio, as you know, is one of my favorites. I’ll attach it later. Here’s the little ode. http://bumbastories.wordpress.com/2011/01/10/another-ode/

Here’s another version of Banks of Ohio. But yours is excellent. One of your best. That bass sounds very soulful. Hats off!

wonderful tribute to blind Doc Watson, R.I.P.! But he cannot be the murder. But your voice here sounds painful and guilty. What have you done! Electric chair, pistol or hanging – what will you choose?

it’s a very ironic version, a ballad about a murder, I’ve often sung that with my friends – and made a German translation – and then suddenly the audience realized what I was singing about!

A peaceful look at the Banks of the Ohio. I enjoyed it very much as I have never been. of course, your finger style guitar playing adds to the enjoyment while viewing. I have been on a paddle boat. You feel like you’ve gone back in time. Very nice …
