AMEN, Jason -
Ed was one of the VERY few people brave enough to accompany yore's trooly when I attempted to sing. IMHO you need to edit the above post, and add a warning that persons with sensitive ears may want to skip the last two minutes of the video, and also save Earl's reputation by making it clear that he was coerced into playing along at the end.
OTOH, I had to twist Ed's arm pretty hard to get him to learn 'Fast Freight' - the opening song, above - and he ended up liking it so much that he made it the title track of his album of railroad songs
:
Ed was one of the finest people I have ever been privileged to know. I will miss him very, very much.
