Would love to listen to it, but I use Firefox without PulseAudio
installed, so cannot play anything at SoundCloud. Can't download
anything either.

Nice track - I like it. Are you performing it live in places, too?

Good song Dave and nice blues sound and feel. I'm pleased to hear you
getting back to the roots although I enjoy your adventurous stuff too.
Mississippi John Hurt was one of the best of the old blues masters.

Aaah, thanks. I'm using the version from Debian Sid which has
self-updating disabled and current version is 2019.01.17-1
Something must have changed in the last 2 months, I guess I'll have to
wait. Not worth going outside the repo when I already have downloaded
the song anyway. It has worked very well for pretty much everything else
I've tried.

It sounds to me as if you mean "I cannot listen to any audio from my web
browser". There's nothing about SoundCloud that requires PulseAudio - it's
just the way your browser gets audio out into the world.
I'm no fan of PulseAudio but I cannot fathom why anyone would choose to cut
off their nose to spite their face over this.
Or maybe I'm missing something.

What David might not know is that Firefox can still work just fine
with ALSA, as it does on my computer. It might not be maintained in
Firefox any more (I'm not sure), but the code is still there, enabled
at compile-time with --enable-alsa. Maybe check with your distro
maintainer.

My distro is Debian. They seem to be mandating PulseAudio for Firefox and their Gnome
desktop environment. But I think even the FF65 package I downloaded from Mozilla mandates
PA.
My history with PA is of endless hoop jumping as it always wanted to have all audio go
through either the built-in HDA (not connected to anything), or route it to HDMI (useless
since my monitor has no speakers, anyway.) My external USB device always got ignored.
In general, the only time I need audio from Firefox is when I rarely play something from a
website. Since youtube-dl works on Soundcloud, I'm ok.

Hey Dave,
it's really been a while since you recorded a "plain old" song like
this. I enjoyed it very much. It made me smile and thus I'm having a
nice start to the day. Your delivery was highly enjoyable. Thanks for
sharing!
Best wishes,
Jeanette

Thanks, Will, I'm glad you enjoyed my little song. Also to Jeanette C,
David Jones, and Roger, many thanks for listening and commenting.
Btw, core Bob Dylan fans will recognize the melody from Buckets Of Rain.
You'll have to trust me when I tell you that I'd never heard the song
until last night when a friend noted that my melody was almost identical
to Dylan's in that song, and it's true, they are remarkably similar. But
I'm not too worried, Dylan's melody is a rip of the first phrase in Tom
Paxton's Bottle Of Wine. :)
