Subject: UN: REQ for Pamela Brown
Leo Kottke’s Pamela Brown (album: Ice Water) was requested recently.
The song was actually written by the great Tom T. Hall — a fine story
telling kinda player. I’m sure the words are close — and most of the
chords too. I’m not too happy about the D7 in the chorus but then I
remember that guys like T.T.Hall just don’t use tough chords. This is
the key I sing it in. If I’ve missed a verse or something then I’ll
actually find the album (lost alphabetical order during last move …)
and check it.
