Ever since Chatter got her new Blueridge Guitar for Christmas, Pap and Paul have been getting her to step up and do more of the picking.
They’ve been doing the old Hugh X Lewis song Tomorrow’s Just Another Day To Cry for years. But recently Chatter has been picking the intro and the lead in to the breaks. I think she’s doing pretty good, see if you don’t agree. Paul and Pap’s harmony ain’t bad either.
Hope you enjoyed the tune. If you want to find out more about Hugh X Lewis and his music-go here.

Good job, Chatter!!!
And you know I love the harmony!
Tipper,
Pap, Paul and Chatter, Oh, what a great sound…We just got in from a ride around the Dollywood Mountain and those voices from Brasstown sounded better’n or just as good as some I heard there..I think I need to get my autograph book updated with the Pressly girls, Pap and Paul…a’fore stardom carries them away to some untouchable realm of Hollywood and Nashville!
Thanks Tipper and family!
Enjoyed the song…thanks for sharing.
It was a little later in the day when I tuned into the Blind Pig, a daily must of mine! But what I heard was worth the wait! How well Paul, Pap and Chatter blend with their pickin’ and playin’ and how well Paul and Pap sound on vocals! Thanks for the post! Love that new guitar of Chatter’s and how well she plays it! Such talent from all three. Thanks for sharing!
Very good job. Can hardly wait to hear more great American music.
Wanta know what I just did. I got one of Dusty’s guitars, went online and found a tuner, tuned it up and tried to play along with Chatter, Paul and Pap. As usual I was a miserable failure. Sounded like crap! But if you know me, if I set my mind to do it, I’ll do it. I found a capo and put it where Pap has his. Still didn’t work! So where is Paul’s? Looks like the fifth fret. Ok, let’s try a chord we know. A C-chord. Hey, that sounds pretty good. So how about C-F-G7th. That sounds good! Now what’s that they slid in there. Let’s move the F up a couple of frets. That’s it. Don’t know the name of it, but it works. OOPs! Another chord. Can’t see Paul’s hands good enough. I’ll just go on ahead to I know where they are coming to and wait til they get there and join back in. Now I’m part of the band again.
Tipper, you and your bunch really inspire me. It’s been a long time since I joined in with some picking and singing. And nobody complained. Of course if you could have heard me it would have been a different story. Anyway I’m “gonna lay down my old guitar” now (my fingers are already gettin sore.)
PS-What is the other chord I’m lookin for?
I sure hope I didn’t wear out your music player. I think I’ve hit the repeat button for the 83rd time and it might not be the last.
ahh tipper all i could think of was. … how wonderful to have these memories of them all singing and playing… the music is as always gorgeous.. and the harmony touches my soul…. thank you so very much for sharing with us..
have a blessed week… and sending much love

Sounds great! There’s something special about playing music with family and friends.
Very nice song and harmony. I plan to get myself a blueridge guitar. I tried one out while in NewFoundland and like the tone and feel of them. Nice job Chatter
Way to go, Chatter!! 🙂
I always enjoy their music!
OK, tell us your secret. How do you get a very pretty, soon to be sixteen , young lady to sit down and play “that kind” of music with her momma, her grandpap and her uncle Paul. You are one lucky lady. My 19 year old Dusty could be very good playing the guitar but he won’t play “that kind” of music and I refuse to listen to the stuff he tries to play.
I noticed that Pap isn’t using a pick. Is that his personal style or is it just for this song? Back when I thought I could learn to play, I couldn’t hold on to a pick. It wanted to turn in my fingers or slip out altogether. I tried finger picking but that didn’t work out too good either. I blamed it on my being left handed but there is a slight possibility it could be caused by a severe inefficiency of talent.
When are we going to get to see the bassist of the group? Maybe a bass solo?
They all do a fine job, as usual. Keep up the great work.
music certainly is an integral part of your family — such talent. I’m betting that there’s a lot of what we just saw,plus picking and singing for the fun of it (and everyone else’s pleasure within hearing distance).
Really beautiful song, the words are so pretty. Enjoyed listening and yes, Chatter is doing great with her new guitar.
Tipper,
That was nice! Chatter makes it look so easy. Maybe someday we’ll
get to hear her harmony with the
boys. I also like the way Chitter
takes charge singing “The Passing
of the Train.” All of you have a
pleasing sound that we all enjoy
so much. Thank you…Ken
That’s a fine song and well performed. And Hugh X Lewis is a new name to me. Thanks.
Fine picking and singing! I was amazed that Chatter’s timing and movement of the hands were so similar to Pap’s. I kept wishing she would ‘cut loose alone’ on one of the verses! She will surely add a beautiful dimension to their performing!!!
Love,
Eva Nell
Love it! And while I agree with Don Casada, I can understand if you are hesitant to have her “chinquapin puppy dog eyes” (love this description) toward the camera every now and then…could have boys watchin’ the video AND knocking on your door! Ha ha!
Aren’t we missing someone? I’ve never seen one of the girls without the other. Wishing I had her talent and energy. Yes, she did an awesome job and so did the guys.
You must be so proud and rightfully so..
YES, she is pretty good! And having movie star good looks don’t hurt none too much neither.
Yep, the girl’s gettin better and better. Don is right, some more of that pretty face would brighten any day.
When I read your title for today’s post my mind went it’s own way. Today is Sunday so tomorrow is Monday and I have to go to school. When I was a kid I hated school so much that all my Sundays were miserable dreading Monday.
love the song, love the harmony and the picking is great. she is doing so good. this is one of my favorites that you have posted. Paul has a beautiful voice
So beautiful!
Good job, and you can see how much she enjoys music.
Fine picking and singing and I especially Pap’s harmony on this one. But I have a recommendation on the videos:
Zoom in on Chatter sometimes or put her in the foreground – she’s purtier than Pap 😉 And if she’ll turn those chinquapin puppy dog eyes toward the camera every now and then, you’ll have a whole bunch of both young and old boys, including those who wouldn’t know fine music like this from bad, watching the videos.
Sure sounds like she’s already doing a fine job. Enjoyed the song.
Yup, she’s is doing fine. You go girl!
