Tulsa Time

Tulsa Time - Danny Flowers as covered by Don Williams Here's a rocked-up version of an old one by Danny Flowrers He wrote this back in 1960; I hope you enjoy it. It's been covered by Don Williams and then Eric Clapton. I include the intro from Don Williams Classics version. Try it. Works Great with a slide in "E" tuning, too.
